Farmers Markets in Buncombe County Open for Spring

Farmers Markets in Buncombe County Open for Spring

Buncombe County farmers markets are opening throughout April and May — or, for year-round markets, shifting back to regular season hours. Spring markets offer an array of produce as well as meat, cheese, eggs, bread, prepared foods, and a wide selection of plant starts. Nine markets in Buncombe County will continue to offer ASAP’s Double SNAP for Fruits and Vegetables and Farm Fresh Produce Prescription. Both programs expand access to fresh fruits and vegetables to more people in the community that might not otherwise be able to afford them. Learn more about how these programs work.
