The Market is Open!


Foothills Market is open for ordering this week.

We’ve hit that point in the season when the supply of fresh vegetables is limited (although we have plenty of lettuce and local meats). This week, we’ll feature one of our other categories on the market, the jams, jellies, and sweet spreads. We have four different vendors offering a variety of home-prepared goodies under the Arkansas Cottage Law. You can find traditional favorites like blackberry or grape jelly or peach jam. If you’re looking for something a little different, maybe you’d like to try crab apple jelly or lemon marmalade. We also offer a Blueberry Mojito Jam that blends the flavors of blueberry and lime – no alcohol, though! Maybe you are trying to limit the amount of sugar you take in. We also have a few lower-sugar options, such as peach, blueberry, and muscadine. These products are all made with local fruits in our farmers’ home kitchens, just like the ones our grandmothers used to make. Of course, there’s always honey if you’re looking for a completely natural option.

Pick up a jar of your favorite from the market to spread on your favorite toast or maybe one of the homemade baked goods from Foothills Market. Remember to place your order between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday from 5:00-5:30 p.m.

Eat something fresh this week!
