Foothills Digest is the creation of Carmen and Jon Eckard. Their passion lies in telling stories in a beautiful and comprehensive way, so when they noticed the lack of quality regional magazines, they set out to make their own.
Each of the quarterly issues is themed, which allows both the creators and the readers to take a very deep dive into different parts of North Carolina's culture. Recent themes have included food, Strong Appalachian Women, Spooky Stories and Pottery. You can read entire back issues using the "Read" tab in the menu.
