Their exact arrival time in Fayetteville depends on their travel schedule, but officials from Ozark Natural Foods have been told to expect them in the store this weekend. The Fayetteville Farmers’ Market on Saturday is also a likely place to spot reality show contestants on Saturday.

May 25: Food Truck Mamma’s Grizzly Grub was spotted at U of A’s stadium.  Not sure if they were just filming a challenge or selling food.

#GreatFoodTruckRace & trucks selling @ @ Dickson tmrw Sat 8am-2pm & Sun!

Looks like this year’s contestants really like Sam’s Club. They’re at S.C. again!

Also, @LauraNativo tweeted the trucks should be selling food TONIGHT (Friday) on Dickson Street.   I’m not sure how long the street is, but check over by the Farmers Market, or I am sure you can’t miss FIVE food trucks!  Update:  Tyler called the trucks and shut them down for the night.

Fayetteville flyer is posting all news at a central post.  Check this link as well as twitter.

The film shows dedicated Detroiters working tirelessly to fulfill their vision for locally-grown, sustainably-farmed food, setting an example for community engagement as a solution to the problems posed by a collapsing local industry.
