As housing becomes increasingly inaccessible in NWA, the Cobblestone Farm Community will provide an affordable community for nearly 100 families in a diverse, inclusive environment including community gardens and other valuable resources to help them thrive. 

• Intentionally built: The community will blend low-income and market-rate housing to encourage the development of a mixed-income neighborhood, because more than building affordable housing, the goal is to become an example of an affordable community. 
• Excellerate together: The Cobblestone Farm Community is a project of the Excellerate Foundation and is a community driven endeavor combining the efforts of organizations like Cobblestone Farms, New Heights Church, Strategic Realty, Potter’s House, Anthology Real Estate, and more.

One of NW Arkansas’s most renowned events begins this week with the 68th annual War Eagle Fair, featuring over 250 booths of handcrafted products along the banks of War Eagle Creek in Hindsville.
