The Market is Open!
Tried of the same old thing? Foothills Market has some new offerings that may be new to you.
The market now has sunchokes and Daikon radishes, two vegetables you’re probably not going to find on the shelves at Walmart. Sunchokes, which are sometimes called Jerusalem artichokes, are starchy tubers that have a nutty, sweet, earthy taste when roasted. They couldn’t be easier to cook – you don’t even have to peel them! Daikon radishes can be roasted, as well, but this versatile Asian vegetable can also be stir-fried, pickled, or eaten raw. If you want a project for Christmas break, get a Chinese/Napa cabbage to go with your Daikon radish and make Kimchi!
Find these vegetables, as well as others, with our listings of meat and baked goods on the market. Browse, fill your cart, and click the button to place your order. We’ll have your items ready for pickup from 4:30-5:30 on Thursday.
Just a note: We’ll have the market this week and next before taking a two-week break for the holidays.
Eat something fresh this week!

We're Back!
After our unexpected brush with Covid last week, Foothills Market is back for your shopping convenience. The person who had closest contact with the person who had tested positive will complete quarantine on Thursday, so we feel confident that there are no lingering concerns about the safety of the market.
As we get our first really cold weather of the season, our offerings will shift into “winter” mode. We have storage crops such as sweet potatoes, turnips, and Silver Edge Squash, as well as a variety of fresh greens – arugula, collards, turnip greens, and Chinese cabbage. If you’re looking for something to sweeten these cold days, we have baked goods, honey, sorghum, and spiced tea mix,
Browse the market between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Be sure to click the button to “Place order.” We’ll have your order ready for pickup between 4:30-5:30 p.m. on Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce building.

Change of Plans - Unexpectedly
We found out over the weekend that one of our workers from the market tested positive for Covid last week, so to be extra cautious we’ve decided to suspend the market for this coming week.
However, we know some of you may have been counting on something from the market for your Thanksgiving plans. What we’re going to do is have each grower have an updated listing on the market, and you can contact the individual grower if you want to place an order. Here is contact information for our active growers:
Happy Horseshoe Farm – happyhorseshoefarm@gmail.com
Rural Route Farm – justinlowe@ruralrf.com
Sheepy Hollow Farm – sheepy.hollow.farm@gmail.com
Spicer Farms & Kimberly’s Pantry – kimberlyaspicer@hotmail.com
Sycamore Grove Farm – jolynn.taverner@gmail.com
You will need to contact the grower by Wednesday morning at the latest to make arrangements for pickup or delivery. We will NOT have market pickup at the Chamber of Commerce building this week.
We hope to be back to our regular schedule the next week, since that will have been 14 days since the original contact, the required time for quarantine. Our biggest concern is everyone’s health, so we appreciate your patience in this situation.
Happy Thanksgiving, and we will see you soon!
