The Market is Open!

Foothills Market is open for another week of shopping for local foods.

Meet Your Farmer

This week we will feature another of the growers on our market, Sheepy Hollow Farm. David Cooper and Kim Van Scoy have been farming near Clarksville since 2009. They raise a variety of vegetables and fruit as well as limited numbers of livestock, including lambs, pigs, Dexter cattle, poultry and fowl. Sheepy Hollow is a great example of a farm using sustainable, organic practices to cultivate diversity and care for the land.

Some of the items that make Sheepy Hollow unique on our market are their offerings of lamb. Although there isn’t a lot of lamb on the market at this time, that ought to change in the future. Kim reported that a new season of lambing is in full swing at the farm, with 20 new lambs so far and 35 ewes still to lamb. That’s a lot of babies – and sleep deprivation!

Check out the offerings from Sheepy Hollow and our other growers on the market. Make your selections between now and Wednesday at 5 p.m., and we’ll have your order ready for pickup from 5-5:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Eat something fresh this week!
