Natural State Market

“For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 2:11

We are overflowing with gratitude and thanksgiving for the abundant love shown over the years and support this week during our transition. It's hard closing up for the last time, walking away from our rough little jewel we loved called The Shop...

But, our community helped ease our heartbreak by showing up, praising us, praying with us, and covering us with words of affirmation, faith and hope.

We do not know our future. But God does, and we are taking this time to learn what's next "best" for us and the Natural State Market.

Thank you, dear friends.
We love you so much, and we'll be in touch.

Robyn & Kat 💚

We are OPEN today, tomorrow and Saturday from 10-5! Come see us during our final week at The Main St Station!

Reminder that Natural State Market is having a clearance sale, 40% off everything. That includes our soils, castings etc etc.
Go see them for a stupor good deal!

We love y’all so much. Thank you for all your suggestions and words of encouragement. We will continue posting updates as we figure out next steps and new location!!

We will be OPEN Tuesday-Saturday this week from 10-5. Come enjoy 40% off your purchase… it’s a great time to stock up on your refills, buy gifts, and treat yourselves!! Don’t forget it’s the last week to drop off recycling, too.

We’re looking forward to seeing you. Much love, earthlings 🌱🌎💚

This is not something I ever wanted to post, but here we are.

Saturday, June 1st will be our last day in business at The Main St Station. The property owners are moving in a new direction, and we no longer have a lease.

We will be OPEN Tuesday (May 28) through Saturday (June 1) from 10-5. The entire store will be 40% off all week. We’d like to sell through as much inventory as possible and pay all our bills so that (God willing) we have less to move to a new location and we can restock once we know where it’ll be. This will also be our last week to offer recycling until we know what’s next.

If you know us and our story, I’m asking you to help us find a new home. Kat and I are exploring our options of reopening Natural State Market in a new location. At the time of this writing, we have not secured a place yet. We want to stay in Benton. We’d love it to be downtown if that’s possible. Please message or email us if you or anyone you know has a place we can continue our work.

We want to be transparent with you, our community, as we’ve been doing life together for three years now. You guys have shown up big time for us more times than we can count… and I’m not just talking about shopping. I’m talking about the number of you who’ve shown up to help when the shop has flooded, those who have come to enjoy our events, those who have loved our cat Sprout in all the ways, those who’ve brought their kids in just to put a smile on our faces, those who’ve walked with us during difficult times personally, those who’ve shared their wins and losses with us in confidence… Each of you have become an extension of our family.

It is our hope and prayer that Natural State Market will find a new home. We desperately want to keep supporting you in every aspect: offering holistic health solutions you can’t find other places, offering free recycling, presenting more sustainable options to implement at home, supporting Arkansas makers by giving them space to share their talents, offering a place to come by and ask for prayer, or a high five… all the things that have made us who we are over the last three years.

I can’t count the number of faces I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. Our shop has bloomed and flourished and grown in a way I never could’ve predicted, and as you know, those roots run so much deeper than just being a shop.

From day one, I’ve always said, “It takes a village.” My kids have grown up at The Station, helping me run the shop, taking naps in the storage closet, collecting pecans from the tree beside us, doodling our parking lot with sidewalk chalk. A lot of your kids have joined them. We’d love to branch out and continue our mission of sustainable living for the next generation.

We would truly love to see each of your smiling faces during our last week at 303 North Main Street.

We don’t want this to be goodbye. We want it to be, “See you very soon, earthlings.” 🌱🌎💚

We are CLOSED this week to wrap up the school year with our kids! Thank you for understanding. We will be back open Wednesday, May 29! 🌱🌎💚

We love when the bread rack is full!

Come grab a load of sourdough or sweet breads! Glory Muffins are here, as are farm fresh eggs of every color 😍

We’re open until 8:30 tonight for Third Thursday. See you at the shop!
