WNC Farmers Market
A year-round, state-run farmers market on 36 acres with produce sheds, garden centers, and restaurants, open seven days a week.
A Market, Not a Stall
The Western North Carolina Farmers Market is at 570 Brevard Road in South Asheville, operated by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture on a 36-acre site with mountain views. Unlike a weekly tailgate market, it is open seven days a week, year-round, with covered sheds of produce vendors, garden centers, and a handful of restaurants and country stores selling jams, honey, and other local goods.
What to Expect
The mix changes with the season, with the heaviest local produce selection from late spring through fall and more baked goods, plants, and crafts filling in the rest of the year. It is a working market rather than a tourist attraction, which is part of the appeal.
Nearby
It is close to the North Carolina Arboretum, so the two combine easily into a South Asheville morning.
