Market Reminder


Foothills Market will be open today until 5:00 p.m. This is the last market until after Christmas, so if you’re wanting some fresh, local food, place your order now! We’ll have it ready for pickup tomorrow afternoon.

The Market is Open!


Foothills Market is open for the week. This is our last market before Christmas – we’ll be taking a break the next two weeks and will return on December 29.

The market not only has fresh produce and meats for your regular menu, but we also have items to help make your holiday tasty. Looking for a ham as the center of your Christmas table? We’ve got it! Looking for yeast rolls or focaccia or cinnamon rolls that are fresh and not packed with preservatives? We’ve got them! Looking for cookies you can’t find at the store? We’ve got them! Looking for a quick and easy gift for a last-minute addition to your list? We’ve got jam! Looking to give the gift of fresh, local food to someone you love? We’ve got gift certificates available! Just contact us with the name and the amount for the certificate, and we’ll make a card you can give to the lucky recipient.

Browse our offerings between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and click the “Place your order” button to finalize your order. We’ll have your items ready for pickup on Thursday.

Just like that, Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is coming up fast! Foothills Market will have only two more pickup dates before the Christmas holiday. If you’re looking for something different that supports a local business, we have several items that would make a good stocking stuffer or a great gift for an office party or that hard-to-please relative.

Check out the market for gift ideas such as jams/jellies or homemade baked goods of all kinds. Once again, we’ll also offer gift certificates for the market if you’d like to share the benefits of local food with someone on your list. Contact us with the name of the gift recipient and the dollar amount you want, and we’ll make a personalized certificate you can wrap or stick in a stocking.

Place your order – whether for Christmas or just this week’s menu – between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday.

Foothills Market Is Taking a Thanksgiving Break


Since this week ends with Thanksgiving, Foothills Market is going to take a holiday break. If you need something from one of our growers, feel free to contact them directly. Contact information is available in the Growers section of the site.

We are thankful for your patronage throughout this past year! We’ll be back with your favorite local foods next week.

Weblog Entry


Foothills Market is open for the week!

The forecast is calling for a blast of cold weather at the end of the week, and what could be better on a cold evening than a bowl of hot soup? We have several soup starters on the market, like these ideas:

  • Chili made with beef chuck roast, ground beef or sausage;
  • Collards with ham hocks;
  • Chicken Noodle Soup made with pastured chicken;
  • Portuguese Kale and Chorizo Soup with fresh, local chorizo;
  • Cream of Mushroom Soup made at home and much superior to the canned stuff;
  • Sweet Potato, Pumpkin or Butternut Squash soup for a creamy, meatless dish.

Shop between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon – just in time for the cold weather!

Eat something fresh this week!

This week, we’ll feature the meats available on Foothills Market. We have several growers offering four different kinds of meat.

  • Happy Horseshoe Farm – beef
  • Little Piney Farm and Apiary – pastured chicken
  • Sheepy Hollow Farm – beef, lamb and pork

There are different cuts for each type of meat, ranging from whole pieces like roast or chicken breast to convenient ground meat.

If you are not a meat eater, maybe you would prefer some mushrooms from The Fortunate Mushroom. He offers lion’s mane and oyster mushrooms, both of which can serve as meat substitutes.

Shop the market between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.
