Our Story

Smiling and holding jar of cannabis buds

Harvest Cannabis Dispensary opened its doors in October of 2019, one of the first dispensaries to come to life in Arkansas’ nascent medical marijuana market. Woman-led and operated by a small but daring crew of entrepreneurs from many facets of the industry, it is fair to say that everyone involved from day one of Harvest’s operations has seen quite a lot of growth and transformation!

Almost five months to the day after Harvest opened its doors, Covid was declared a pandemic, and in spite of the manifold uncertainties and obstacles that have presented themselves in a fundamentally confusing time, Harvest has remained strong, has remained open, and has employed the best strengths of its team members to adapt, grow, and find solutions to obstacles facing the cannabis industry and all people involved. Our crew is the heart of Harvest, and every single one of us was selected for and has brought unique strengths and perspectives to the table. Those passions and drives, woven together by clever and effective management, have blazed a trail of growth and accomplishment.

Our initial crew of seven is a mere fraction of the team of professionals currently onboard at Harvest, yet many of our employees have been with us since those first few months. Our facilities have grown on many fronts. The building has been expanded to create new service areas. Our cultivation department has grown in ways that not only lend to the development of high-quality cannabis flower and superior medicinal products, but also the development and dissemination of useful knowledge regarding cutting-edge agriculturally ethical methods of cannabis cultivation. Our trajectory is centered on remaining flexible and ready to take on every new challenge as it comes in order to achieve our ultimate goal of offering the best in quality, be it services or products, to our patients.

Libby Barnett

CEO & Owner

Libby is the heart and soul of Harvest, the living embodiment of all of the qualities that Harvest strives to promote. First and foremost, Libby has been an Arkansas small business entrepreneur for her entire forty-plus year professional career. Prior to founding Harvest, Mrs. Barnett was the long-standing owner and operator of Conway Gardens & Pools, a retail gardening and greenhouse business that also offers swimming pool construction, year-round maintenance and retail swimming pool equipment and products. Founded in 1992 at its current location on Prince Street in Conway, the business has enjoyed twenty-five years of the Conway community’s loyalty and respect, becoming an acknowledged favorite destination for knowledgeable advice, service and products.

Second, Libby is an ardent supporter of Women’s causes and has been an active leader in her chosen industry. For example, she served in many capacities on the Nurseryman’s Association Board and in the year 2000 was chosen to serve as President of the Board. During her helm as president, one of the important changes she championed and accomplished was the broadening of the associations’ mission to be more inclusive of gender and other supportive businesses. This led to the associations’ name change from the outdated Arkansas Nurserymen’s Association to the Arkansas Green Industry Association (AGIA) that year. Over the last twenty-five years, she also achieved the status of Arkansas Certified Nursery and Landscape Professional (ACNLP) and was also the guest speaker at many major industry events, including being a keynote speaker at the state-wide conference of the Master Gardener’s Association held in Conway.

In addition, Mrs. Barnett served as President of the Arkansas chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) in 1988. NAWBO is an organization that focuses on propelling women business owners into greater economic, social and political spheres of power worldwide. Mrs. Barnett’s major focus during her presidency was the difficulty women experience with funding small business start-ups so she created a statewide conference that year held in Little Rock entitled “Credit Where Credit’s Due”. She brought together well-known speakers, bankers, lenders, financial advisors and the Small Business Association (SBA) as advisors for hopeful entrepreneurial women from all over the state. Spring-boarding from the success of the event, Mrs. Barnett became a guest speaker at numerous SBA “women in business” events and was featured in television and radio advertising to encourage the women of Arkansas to start their own small businesses.
