Our next pickup date for Foothills Market is less than a week before Valentines’ Day, so this week we will feature items you might use for a special celebration of love!
Maybe you’d like to prepare a special meal, with a nice steak. We have ribeyes and t-bones, as well as greens for salad or a side dish, along with a pan of yeast rolls. Or maybe you’d like to give a treat of cookies or candy to someone special (or yourself!) – Spicer Farms is offering Sweetheart Candy Cookies this week.
Browse the market between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Select the items you want, then click the “place your order” button to finalize the order. We’ll have your items ready for pickup Thursday afternoon.

Foothills Market is going into what author Barbara Kingsolver calls “hungry month,” when nothing much is growing and the food stored over winter is starting to run short. However, it’s not “starvation month,” because we’ve still got local food, both fresh and preserved, on the market!
Check the offerings on the market between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. for fresh greens, homemade baked goods, and locally-raised meats. Place your order by Wednesday, and we’ll have it ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

Because of the continuing cold, wintery weather, it’s hard for to know what we have to offer this week on Foothills Market. However, we’re still running the market, although there will be limited amounts of fresh produce available.
We still have other types of products on the market. Our beef is locally grown on pasture and processed at USDA-approved butcher shops. While our baked goods and sweets do have sugar, they are made with real ingredients, with no lab-created preservatives or additives.
Browse the offerings between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and click the “Place your order” button to submit. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.
Stay warm – and dry – this week!

As I write this message, we have at least an inch of snow on the farm with more falling. No doubt about it – the growers for Foothills Market have a challenging week ahead. We’ll face a struggle to keep plants alive and animals fed, watered and as warm as possible.
Offerings on the market will be limited this week, so if you want some fresh produce, you’ll probably need to order quickly. Also be aware that, depending on what happens with the weather, a grower may have to cancel some items. We really appreciate your understanding!
Our offerings of beef and sweet spreads, of course, are not affected by the weather! Shop between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Weather permitting, we’ll have your orders ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon (if conditions make it so we can’t have market pickup on Thursday, we will contact you for other arrangements).
Stay warm!
Market Reminder
Foothills Market will be open for orders through 5:00 this afternoon. Be sure to get your order in before the potentially bad weather this weekend!
