This week on Foothills Market, let’s talk roast! When I was a kid, “roast” meant one thing – beef roast cooked in the oven with potatoes and carrots. Very delicious, but now that I’m older I’ve learned roast can be a lot more versatile. Cut it into chunks and make goulash; shred it and make burritos; slice it and make sandwiches; cube it and layer it with vegetables to make kebabs.
If you want to try something different, we’ve got you covered for roasts on the market. We have several types of beef roasts, from chuck to rump, as well as pork roast and leg of lamb.
Check out the listings between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. Whether you want meat, vegetables or baked goods, we’ll have your items ready for Thursday pickup.

This week on Foothills Market, we’re going to celebrate the humble salad. While the stereotype is “rabbit food,” salads have several benefits for adding to your menu plan: 1) they are good for you, with vitamins and fiber; 2) they can have a lot of variety, depending on what you put in; 3) they are quick and easy to make.
The market features several items that can form the base of your salad, whether it’s a side item or the main dish. We have salad mixes with a variety of lettuces, including red and green romaine. If you want to add other greens, how about some spinach or watercress or maybe some kale or Swiss chard? Dress up that salad with celery, radishes, a boiled egg or mushrooms. Add a little sour-sweet element with some Bread and Butter pickles. Add a side of a bagel and cream cheese or maybe a nice chunk of focaccia, and you have a meal! And since your salad was low-calorie, maybe you can treat yourself to a brownie or cookie for dessert!
Shop the market between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday – just in time to make that salad for supper!

Activity is really picking up on the farms, with our Foothills Market farmer getting potatoes and other early spring crops in the ground. While those crops may be several weeks away from appearing on the offerings, we still have some fresh produce from the winter plantings on the market.
In addition to produce, we have plenty of meats and baked goods, both sweet for a dessert or less-sweet to go with a meal. Browse the market between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., place your order, and we’ll have your items ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

We made it through the cold weather, and the sunshine certainly looks wonderful! Foothills Market is back online with fresh local and homemade foods.
If you like to think ahead, we have a special treat for Mardi Gras (only about 10 days away….). Kimberly Spicer from Spicer Farms is offering a King Cake decorated with the traditional colors of green, gold and purple and with your choice of whether to get the version with a hidden baby token. Tradition says whoever finds the baby is “king for a day” with good luck for the coming year – and is responsible for bringing a cake to next year’s celebration.
Check out the king cake offering on the market, as well as our other delicious baked goods, meats and fresh produce. Place your order between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.
Eat something fresh this week, and let the good times roll!
No Market This Week
Cold weather is hard on plants and hard on people, and the forecast this week is for really cold weather. We’ve decided to cancel Foothills Market this week to give everyone – plants and people – a little break. See you next week!
