The Market is Open!


Want some of the fresh cucumbers on Foothills Market but are so busy you’re afraid they will go bad before you can get to them? Pickle them! There are plenty of pickle recipes, ranging from traditional canned recipes to the super-easy, really-quick recipes for refrigerator pickles.

Shop for cucumbers and more on the market this week between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday – just in time for some weekend pickle-making!

Have you noticed the good variety of sweet spreads on Foothills Market? We have everything from apple butter to strawberry jam to muscadine jelly to pepper jelly – not to mention sorghum. Granted, there’s plenty of sugar in these spreads, but there’s also the goodness of fresh, local fruit. Although strawberry season is long gone, we can still enjoy a little spoonful of strawberry flavor!

Check out our sweet spreads (including the lower-sugar varieties) on the market. You can also browse our offerings of late-summer vegetables between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday.

The weather sure doesn’t seem like it, but summer is winding down in the garden. Some Foothills Market favorites, like tomatoes, are beginning to slow down. We still have tomatoes available, but now is the season for other hot-weather crops, like peppers. If you are looking for a quick supper that won’t heat up the kitchen, pick up some beef and peppers (we have a selection of both sweet and hot varieties) for a stir-fry. One skillet, 30 minutes, and better for you than take-out!

Browse the market between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. We’ll have the orders ready for pickup on Thursday.

After a couple of weeks off, Foothills Market is back online! The break has given our gardens (and farmers!) a chance to get through the hot days, and it looks like the weather is going to be a little cooler this week.

Browse the market between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday.

No Market This Week


Our Foothills Market growers have some things to take care of this week and the next, so we are going to take a two-week break from the market. However, if you want some fresh produce, you can contact Sheepy Hollow Farm at 479-746-1687 or Spicer Farm at 479-970-0526 to make arrangements for an off-market pickup. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for listings of what produce is available.

We’ll see you in mid-August for a “grand reopening”!
