During growing season I'm told they stock a good deal of the fresh produce from their own farm. I found some varieties of beans I'd never heard of before, like cranberry beans and yellow-eyed peas. They've got some other things like you'd find in a standard grocery store, like PET milk and a few varieties of juice. The space isn't too fussy - concrete floor inside, a dirt and gravel parking lot. It's clean though, and they've got shopping baskets and plastic bags for carrying fruits and veggies. The prices are at least comparable to a chain grocery, if not better on some items. For example, their eggs are between $2 and $3 per dozen. Feels like what a farm market should. I'll be going back regularly.

The North Asheville Tailgate Market is a Saturday morning farmer's market on the campus of UNC…read moreAsheville. This is a huge farmer's market with vendors offering pastries, cheeses, meats, pastas, coffee, apparel, breads, and much more! I came here expecting to buy just a couple of pastries and wound up with enough to fill almost two tote bags. Since parking can be a challenge, I recommend getting here right when the market starts at 8. I've been eating my way through my finds and everything so far has been delicious. I'm still dreaming of the ham and cheese croissant I had for my lunch while hiking! Masks seem to be required for vendors, but are optional for patrons. I did see quite a few people wearing masks if they had small children who would be unvaccinated. I greatly enjoyed meeting the vendors and learning about their products. There are some interesting, highly unique offerings here. One of my favorite vendors is Roots and Branches -- they offer artisan crackers, flatbreads, and baked goods. I've gotten their products at other locations, but was delighted to meet them here as well. Their crackers are the best I've had anywhere and would be a great accoutrement to any cheeses you may also pick up here!

I love the amount of shade that is at this market. Lots of trees but not a lot of parking. I loved a few of the vendors including the kombucha and the kimchi shot guy. I also picked up an assortment of hot peppers for a fair price. In my opinion many of the items are overpriced. I get making a profit but 8 dollars for a small chocolate bar seems a bit much. I would definitely come back. Bring your own bags.

That and the smell is intoxicating the moment you walk in. The cafe has some small items (baked goods, coffee, ice cream, bonbons), so we grabbed a few for us to nibble and share. The brownie is amazing - fudgy, yet crisp top, lots of chocolate, probably the best I've had. Peanut butter cookie has the black and white cookie vibe where it is half dipped with dark chocolate and spinkled with sea salt. We also tried a bonbon flight with some interesting truffle flavors (chai, raspberry, honey caramel, etc) but the standout for sure was just the classic single origin. That said, the chocolate is quite pricey per bonbon - you pay for what you get for sure, but its definitely a splurge type item.

We're talking some ripe, sweet South Carolina peaches, some just-picked local strawberries, zucchini, beans, cantaloupe, okra ... and on and on. Rows of yummy items, and behind them arrayed on several shelves are jars of honey, jams, preserves and almost anything else you could imagine. The folks running it are most helpful, and they helped assemble a bushel of ripening peaches for our road trip. We were knocked out by what we found her and spent nearly $100 to satisfy our produce desires. We wouldn't be surprised if you do too!

Evidently that is a brand new practice at the state funded Farmers Market. What a joke. Most local businesses feel that ebt recipients in Asheville should be doomed to rotten veggies and canned goods from the dent and scratch grocers.

My partner ordered the lobster roll and was pleased with the the quantity of lobster, size and taste of bun, as well as the side salad that it comes with. I had the fish and chips. 3 decent sized pieces of a thinly coated fresh perfectly cooked cod. A good stack of crispy french fries and side of coleslaw. The plates are smallish rectangles.The fish sits stop the fries. Condiments were individual packets. What I wish I knew about eating the fish ahead of time. The thin battered crust broke apart very easily which led to the fish flakes falling out. Couldn't dip in tartar sauce without it disintegrating. It was a struggle to enjoy it the way I normally eat fish and chips. The trying to squirt out tiny amounts of ketchup for the fries was an additional pain. We enjoyed the seafood and will be back with my own bottle of ketchup and will ask for an additional plate to separate the fries from the fish.
