On the beautiful campus of UNC Asheville

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.

MARKET LOT CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning NOVEMBER 11TH, our market will be temporarily relocating to UNC Asheville Lot P34 as UNC Asheville will need use of our lot for some time for construction. We are unsure exactly how long but we will keep you updated! We will be back to P28 at some point in 2024, most likely by July.

Lot P34 is just NORTH of our current lot towards Merrimon Ave right next to Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church and has been used for overflow market parking, so maybe you have been there before – check out the map below. Accessible parking will be available in P34 and our portajohns will be moved there as well. Additionally, we will have signs posted around campus to help you find your way!

Visit our directions page for more information or email us at natmdirector@gmail.com for any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support and we know as strong of a community we have and as loyal as our customers are, y’all will find us and help keep us resilient through these temporary big changes.

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.

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.

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.
