Organic living is all about smart shopping. By purchasing directly from the producer, you are investing in your local community and economy, reducing your carbon footprint, and supporting organic and sustainable production methods. You’ll know how that tomato was grown and what went into that pork chop!—which is better for you, your community, and the environment.
Here you’ll find a list of farmers markets in Western NC by county. ASAP’s Local Food Guide is also a great local resource for WNC markets. If you see any markets we’ve left out, please email us at outreach@organicgrowersschool.org. Happy shopping!
