Welcome to WNC’s voted #1 farmers market!

Since 1980, we have been providing Asheville and the surrounding area with a full range of local, sustainably produced produce, meats, eggs, cheeses, breads, plants, prepared foods and crafts. Day vendors complement the members’ offerings with additional products and services.

The North Asheville Tailgate Market is a weekly, Saturday morning gathering of the best farmers, craftsmen, and bakers. With over 60 vendors and more than 40,000 annual customers, the market’s energetic and warm environment welcomes all.

Our Mission

As a producer-only farmers’ market, our mission is to strengthen the local foods movement of Western North Carolina by organizing a dynamic and inclusive outlet for farmers and small businesses to connect with customers and community.

Market Values

Community

Healthy bodies and minds establish a strong community. Chef demos, dietitian talks, and our Growing Minds at Market are just a few ways we contribute to creating a healthier community.

Blueberries and strawberries
Organic

Most of our growers use organic practices and the Market strives to give you organic choices for all products. Choosing organic is better for you and the environment.
