It’s that time of year – the weather forecast is calling for the first freeze of the season. You may see some new items on Foothills Market this week. Some of them may be the result of the farmers busily stripping any edible fruit from plants before the cold weather kills them. Even if these fruit are small or “baby”-sized, they are still good eating! It’s a last chance to eat certain locally-grown veggies fresh for the season.

Browse the market and place your order before 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. We’ll have your items ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

As all our growers on Foothills Market have found, sometimes the plans you make for your garden just don’t work out. That happened this year for Happy Horseshoe Farm and our sweet potato crop. We had two rows with beautiful, lush vines, and we were excited to see the potatoes beneath. But when we dug the potatoes a week or so ago, we found that a big percentage of the potatoes had split and are not suitable for selling. What a disappointment!

But to paraphrase the saying, “When life gives you split sweet potatoes, make sweet potato breads!” This week, we are offering a selection of items on the market that feature sweet potatoes, ranging from a rich sweet potato-cinnamon bread to decadent sweet potato mini-muffins to light sweet potato biscuits.

Browse the market between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. Place your order, and we’ll have it ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

You already know Foothills Market helps you eat local, but did you ever think we also help you eat native? Some of the products on our market, like the American Beautyberry jam, muscadine jelly, and Jerusalem artichokes are from plants that are native to the Ozarks region. So, not only are you eating something grown locally, you are also eating something that has grown locally for centuries!

Browse the market for these native products as well as other locally-grown vegetables and beef. Order before 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

The Foothills Market managers took part in an old tradition this morning – making sorghum syrup!

Our growers at Sycamore Grove Farm were processing their new batch of sorghum the past two weekends, and they have plenty for the market. No additives, just pure sorghum juice cooked down into the delicious syrup you can add to baked goods, salad dressings or fresh on a hot biscuit!

Shop the market for this and other fresh, local food. You can place your order anytime between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and we’ll have it ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.
