The Market is Open!
Our sunny, cold weather is an improvement on last week – I guess??? Though the bitter cold is limiting what we have to offer on Foothills Market, you still have some interesting options on the market.
Check out these delicious possibilities on the Recipes section:
- Chicken and Vegetable Curry – the original recipe calls for chicken, but you could easily substitute pork, lamb or beef for a hearty, warming dinner. Round out the meal with crusty, garlicky focaccia!
- Chorizo, Mushroom and Potato Tacos – If you’ve never tried chorizo, this is a good chance to see why this spicy sausage is considered the bacon of Mexican cuisine.
- Creamy Collard Greens – Pair this rich and delicious vegetable dish with a beef roast or pork chops. Treat yourself to some brownies, cookies or a slice of pumpkin bread as a dessert.
- Osso Bucco – What could be more cozy on a cold winter evening than a slow-simmered stew with a corn muffin on the side?
Check out these recipes and more, and use these cold days to experiment with something new. You may find a new favorite!

The Market is Open!
Wow, what a snow! I heard on one news station that we got three years’ worth of “average” snow overnight last week. Foothills Market is open, but our growers are still waiting for the snow to melt to be able to see what’s left underneath.
That means our produce offerings on the market are limited this week (although items may be added later in the week as we see what made it through the snow). However, we still have plenty of other locally-grown and homemade products – meats, baked goods, and jams/jellies. Shop between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. – we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday.
Eat something fresh this week!
Market Is Closing Early
Because the forecast has snowy weather coming in earlier than expected tomorrow, we’re going to close Foothills Market early today. We’ll be back on the regular schedule next week. Thanks for your understanding!

It looks like the weather is going to be challenging for farming. Foothills Market will be open this week, but the weather may make some adjustment necessary. For example, orders may have to be reduced or cancelled altogether if cold temperatures damage the fresh vegetables.
On the positive side, though, we have plenty of items on the market that aren’t affected by the cold weather. We have a good variety of locally-grown meats and home-baked goods to choose from. Browse and make your choices between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and click the button to finalize your order. We’ll have your items ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.
Eat something fresh this week – and stay warm!
