The DreamWhips are AMAZING and the variety changes to create new seasonal favorites. Nate and his family are so wholesome and giving to the community. The "family" atmosphere is incredible and you leave planning your next trip back to see an old friend. The staff are so courteous and nice, ready to help without having to be asked! Our most recent trip was to attend the Pickle Festival, our second year in a row. It was amazing to have such a variety of vendors, entertainment, and food!! It was crazy busy but the staff were great meeting the needs of everyone as quickly as possible. Nate is quite the entertainer and is so gracious. Thank you for another fabulous time spent on the farm.

We visited Darnell's Farm on June 23, 2026, and it easily earned 5 stars from our family!…read more From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. Families were enjoying the farm, kids were playing, and there were several swings overlooking the river that made for a beautiful place to sit and unwind. The farm offers a great variety of fresh produce, and the strawberry picking was a huge hit with our kids. Their favorite part was being able to snack on strawberries while picking them--an experience they won't forget! We also purchased some boiled peanuts, which were hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. But the real star of the visit was the ice cream. It was hands-down the best part of our day and so good that we're already planning to stop by again before heading back home. Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, great products, and fun for the whole family. We highly recommend Darnell's Farm to anyone visiting the area. 100% recommended!

What an awesome place to visit! I totally recommend visiting the Cashiers Farmers Market for sure…read more Too many things to list in my review, but they have everything and more you'd expect at a farmers market. My bro and I had lunch at their BBQ place, literally on the side attached to the farmers market called, you guessed it; "On The Side Barbeque". The beef brisket sandwich melted in your mouth, it comes with 2 sides of your choice. I ordered mine with collard greens and homemade potato salad. The meal also comes with a can of soda or water bottle and a small bag of chips. It's actually a great value and they have a nice covered open air outdoor area to eat at. Service was great -- they have it down to a science there. Look forward to returning next time I'm in Cashiers!

Okay, I love it…read more I've been by this market numerous times, but we're staying in Cashiers for a few days, and decided today was the day. And I'm glad we did. They had a perfect pack of candles that I HAD to have, and I bought honeycomb for The Granddaughter -- she loves it. The young lady at the counter was so sweet and friendly. The atmosphere was light and happy. This is a great place to shop. If you haven't been here, you MUST go. I could almost say, If they don't have it, you don't need it.

Parking is usually quite easy and free as there are people frequently coming and going. Going local is the thing here, little farms, organic or not are selling their fruit and vegetables. There is also bread , natural cosmetics, plants, herbs , cheese, meat and seafood. You can get coffee, cold or hot. Sometimes they have music also and there are usually places to sit and just let the Saturday morning go by. There are Farms selling their wares from Hendersonville, Marshall and Big Ivy and other close by places , the vendors are generally people that work at the farms they are representing, they know what it takes to get things on their farm going and can answer your question. There is fruit and vegetables sold that are seasonal, no citrus , mangos or other tropical fruit although lots of times I m surprised what all is able to grow in WNC. I come here a lot, I like to support these farms and it's a nice community, tourists are not seen a lot it's the real AVL!

The line for donuts was long but the folks in the bakery section worked their butts off to keep the line moving. Only issue was we ordered 8 donuts and a few other items ( cookies, fritters) but realized when we got home we only had 3 donuts, huge disappointment because they were the best donuts ever!! Everything else was delicious as well. They have fruits and veggies for sale in the other area of the store, tons of options and amazing prices( cherries $2lb, squash 1.69lb etc) they also have shelves full of different jams,jellies, apple butters, honey etc ! Staff were restocking and cleaning the entire time we were there so the place is clean as well. They were running out of some of the produce, mostly berries, by the time we left but with amazing prices like that it's certainly expected.

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.
