The Market is Open - December 18

Christmas is nearly here, and that means good things to eat and gifts! The growers at Foothills Market can help you with your last-minute preparations.

For the good things to eat, we have several great options:

• locally-grown, naturally-cured ham (see the recipe section for a new twist on the traditional Christmas ham)
• locally-grown beef
• fresh vegetables, including salad mix and Brussels sprouts (quantity is limited, so order early!)
• baked goodies ranging from cookies for your Christmas party to breads or muffins perfect for Christmas morning

We also have several good options if you are looking for a last-minute gift. How about making up a gift basket of unusual sweet spreads with Kumquat Marmalade and Purple Hull Pea Jelly? Or maybe there’s a reader on your Christmas list who would appreciate historical fiction with a link to the Arkansas River Valley.

Check out the market, fill your cart with Christmas goodies, and click the “Place your order” button. Our elves – er, growers – will put your orders together, and you can pick them up on Friday between 4-6, just in time for Christmas!

We at Foothills Market wish all of you Happy Holidays!

Welcome to another week with Foothills Market ! The market continues to grow – we have a new grower this week. Spicer Farms and Kimberly’s Pantry offers beef, a variety of jams, and two different kinds of candy. Check them out!

Believe it or not, we still have some fresh greens on the market, even with the freezing temps from the past week. We have salad mix, spinach, baby kale, and collard greens, so you can get your vitamin A.

Shop the market this week, fill your cart, and then click the “Place your order” button. Friday afternoon, pick up your order at the Food for Thought Garden between 4-6 p.m. It’s that simple!

The Market is Open - December 4

The weather is supposed to be turning cold this week, and Foothills Market has several items that you can turn into a good, hot meal for these cold evenings. Check out the selection of meats, including pork, lamb, and ham that contains no added nitrites or nitrates. We also have a variety of fresh greens to give a taste of spring even as winter approaches.

Every meal needs dessert, right? We have two assortments of Christmas cookies available this week, one with the traditional kinds of cookies kids like, and one with more sophisticated recipes selected just for adults. These cookies, unlike the packaged ones in the grocery store, are made fresh, usually on the day of delivery, and, when possible, use ingredients from local farms.

The market will be open until noon on Thursday. Shop, add items to your cart, then hit the “Place your order” button to finalize. Your order will be available Friday afternoon from 4-6 p.m. at the Food for Thought Garden, 815 N. Hillcrest.

The Market is Open - November 13

Good morning! The Foothills Market is open for this week.

Looking for a break from the traditional turkey dinner for Thanksgiving next week? How about a leg of lamb or a local ham? Sheepy Hollow Farm has a variety of locally-grown and processed meat available on the market, and Kim said she has an awesome leg of lamb recipe she’ll post in the Recipes section of the site.

We also have fresh, local vegetables for sides. Happy Horseshoe Farm has fresh broccoli, as well as rutabagas, which make a great puree that is a lower-carb replacement for mashed potatoes. The market also offers a variety of jams, jellies, and baked goods, including a couple of small goodies made from heirloom pumpkins to satisfy your sweet tooth while still offering some nutritional benefits.

Browse our offerings on the Market page between now and noon on Thursday. To place your order, simply add any items you would like to your cart, then click the “Place my order” button. You can then pick up your order between 4-6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17.

Note that the market will take a break next week for Thanksgiving.

We’re looking for both new customers and new growers interested in keeping local access to fresh produce available now that the in-person farmers’ market has closed for the season. We’d appreciate your telling your friends and neighbors about Foothills Market. Word of mouth – or word of mouse! – is the best way to spread the word.

Happy shopping! Eat something fresh this week!
