Asheville City Market Returns to North Market Street!
After two pandemic years operating as ASAP Farmers Market at A-B Tech, Asheville City Market returned to its North Market Street location in downtown Asheville in April 2022. Asheville City Market was established in 2008 as a learning lab to pilot new programs and provide more opportunities for farmers, particularly those unable to access existing market options.
