About the Market

Background

Established to connect local farmers with the community, Asheville's market has grown to include two locations, offering a wide array of locally produced goods. The market operates downtown at Charlotte Street and at Biltmore Park Town Square, providing a venue for farmers and artisans to sell their products directly to consumers.

Practices

The market emphasizes producer-only participation, ensuring that all goods are locally sourced and crafted by the vendors themselves. This approach supports local agriculture and craftsmanship, fostering a direct relationship between producers and consumers.

The Rest

The market features monthly 'What's Cookin' chef demonstrations, weekly live music, and 'Kids Corner Market' activities. EBT, credit, and debit market tokens are available for convenience. The downtown market operates on Saturdays from April through December, while the Biltmore Park Town Square location is open on Wednesdays from July through October.
