Foothills Market:  The Market is Open!

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.

Eat something fresh this week!

Check out our Markets Craft Section, several useful items especially the theraputic beads from Bead Wench, Thweatt Things has added new items, Periwinkle and Pine has beautiful wreaths for every season.

Thweatt Things: The start-up of school means more time to sew and I’m doing just that. This fall I’m featuring handmade Egg-gathering Aprons in both adult and kids sizes. These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Lavendar Cottage: We have add some increased sizes! Delicious snack to lunch bags and just a mid-day treat….This week we are bring some Freeze Dried candies into the market along with our Freeze dried fruits and veggies.

Nothing like a delicious crisp apple during the hot weather! We also have our popular large cabbages, just a few this week but will have more in the coming weeks.

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present a plethora of pastured poultry products for your palate. We also have lots of luscious grass-fed lamb that’s great for grilling. And our usual substantial selection of skin-softening goat’s milk soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: we are back on the market this week with some familiar and some new cuts of Pork. Please Browse our products from our free-range, non-gmo, non corn/soy pork.

Rus-T-Acres: All our Black Angus Beef is USDA Certified pasture-raised:
Highlighting some of our products this week. Chuck Roast is cut from the shoulder and neck region of the animal. used for pot roast or, when cubed, stew, because the connective tissue melts as the chuck braises and self-bastes the beef, making it very tender. Double Ground Beef we chose this blend because of the tender, juicy, flavorful outcome of the product when it is cooked. It is a great blend for Hamburger steaks, chili, soups, and numerous other recipes. Medium seasoned pork sausage has the perfect blend of sage and pepper to earn the medium status. It also has enough fat for frying up perfectly. I fry my sausage and then use the grease for making my breakfast gravey or for seasoning my cornbread batter.

Some of our produce this week:
White Patty Pan Squash, AKA 10 toes look like the yellow sunburst patty pans but they are white. They taste more like a zucchini but are a little sweeter. They can be prepared in a variety of ways. Cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove the seeds, and stuff them with whatever you like, and then bake, broil, or steam them. You can cut them up and fry or sautee them. Sunburst Patty Pan Squash produces glossy buttercup yellow, scalloped edge squash that has a mild, buttery flavored tender white flesh. They are also referred to as 10 toes because each one has 10 scallops. It is a fun food to work with and can be prepared in a variety of ways. You can cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove seeds, and stuff with anything you would like and then bake them or steam them on the grill, fry them, sautee them. Just any way you want to cook them will be good. Japanese Eggplant: prepare in various ways including grilling, which will give them a smoky flavor!

Pinky’s Micros: You are missing out if you don’t eat these greens…healthy..put them in a smoothy, top you salads or sandwich, make rollups….Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.*

We love putting them on avocado toast or in a B.L.T Sandwich!
