Visit the Farmers Market in West Jefferson

There are many reasons to shop local at the Ashe County Farmers Market.  Choosing our local farmers market means stimulating the economy of northwestern North Carolina.  It also means fresher food as food is gown locally instead of transported hundreds – sometimes even thousands of miles. 

When you shop at the Ashe County Farmers Market you will find fresh vegetables, there is seasonal produce, local honey, free-range eggs, maple syrup, jams, and freshly baked breads and pastries.  Local all-natural beef, chicken, pork, and lamb as well as (occasionally) fresh mountain trout are also available in a wide variety of cuts and sizes. 

In addition to fruits, meats, and vegetables the Ashe County Farmers Market features the works from talented local artisans including hand-woven baskets, pottery, candles, quilts, and soaps.  Fine wood crafts are also available for sale: one-of-kind cutting boards, bird houses, furniture, and boutique picture frames just to name a few. 

The market has a wide choice of nursery items, bedding plants and flowering arrangements ready for landscaping and outdoor gardens.  During the Christmas season, the Farmers Market features Christmas trees, garland, handmade ornaments, and all types of greenery for the holiday season.

More than a Farmers Market

During the summer, the Farmers Market will sponsor different activities, such as a sheep-sheering Saturday, a day for Llamas, Alpacas, occasional live music and many more activities.
