Reviews for: Black Mountain Tailgate Market

It's close, shady, grassy, dog-friendly, and has everything--fish, lamb, chicken, veggies, crafts, coffee, etc. Super-friendly, the Saturday meeting place. Not too small, not too big--JUST RIGHT!

I love it!!!My favorite market of them all!!!So nice and grassy, safe for dogs and the kids

Love the food! Always fresh and local. The farmers are all so friendly. It's always a wonderful community gathering. I love cooking food during the week and recalling the faces of who I bought it from. So healthy and wonderful!!

Wonderful vendors, fabulous quality and variety. Sense of friendship and community. LOCAL LOCAL LOCAL!It is the highlight of my weekend!

The produce is consistently fresh, tasty and plentiful. The variety beats other markets and it's local. I like eating food grown in the same soil and air as I grown on.

I look forward to starting my Saturday at the Tailgate Market. Great fresh local vegetables and great people!

Because they are the epitome of local folks caring for, supporting, and investing in the local economy & scene!

great location, friendly and helpful vendors and a wide variety of veggies, flowers, crafts, etc. in a beautiful shaded location

All the vendors are pleasant and the food is very fresh. I especially like the fresh fish. It's a long drive, but worth it.

Black Mountain Tailgate Market has such a relaxed atmosphere. All the vendors are friendly and enjoy talking with you. Black Mountain is such a great town, it is nice to visit after buying all the great produce at the market.

Fantastic vendors and the LOVLIEST spot for a farmer's market! Harry and Elaine ROCK!

It is the friendliest market anywhere...The vendors know their wares and sell the best quality...everything is delicious and fresh...You can have a great cup of coffee while you shop, talk with friends, and spend a wonderful morning..

because they sell food grown locally in "natural" soil because they are a community because I just plain like eating fresh produce

This market its a true tailgate market where I can meet the growers and farmers, and I've never been dissapointed with any of the produce, meats, breads, or cheeses, that I go there to purchase, in fact I've had many occasion where on Monday or Tuesday I wanted more "of those great collards", or "that delicious Blue Gouda cheese" or "Black heart Cherries" and couldn't wait till the next Saturday morning.

because it is fabulous and they are pretty strict about making sure only farmers that don't use toxic sprays can be there.

because they are local, friendly, have a great group of merchants, they are fun! They keep me up to date on what to expect at the market each week. If you got questions about growing food, composting, or about recipes,or just about anything they have answers!

All local, all organic, lots of variety in the vegetables offered plus fresh meats, seafood, crafts and music. A great place to buy healthy food and socialize with friends and neighbors. And no one else has Harry to declare the market open.

It's great, fresh, local food from friendly folks who work hard so we can eat healthier.

The fresh produce is the most delicious produce I have ever eaten - so much more flavor than grocery store produce that was picked at least a week ago. We have a CSA box each week from Foothills Family Farms, also a flower share, and we buy all our meat and seafood there. Superb! We also support the local farmers to lessen the grip of agribusiness on our nation's food supply. We are opposed to genetically engineered, unregulated food.

I love the tailgate market - I always see friends and love getting fresh veggies. The art table for kids and the fresh lemonade is also a big draw for my daughter.

I love the tailgate market because I don't have to shop at Ingles for produce in the summer time. I pick up my CSA and always find tasty treats for my boys.

The vendors have become friends. Because of them I have begun eating more organics and refuse to buy certain items at the chain grocery stores. I do not worry about the food being recalled. It has been great fun watching the children of vendors grow up and to watch the various businesses expand. I truly miss the Saturday morning get-togethers during the winter months.

Saturday at the tail gate market is the high light of our week. We cannot wait to see what is being offered. The locally produced crops are fresh and well presented. The growers are both helpful and friendly. There are a lot of choices, and we also enjoy trying new things. The market is the best ever and seems to get better every week. The addition this year of locally produced goat cheese and fresh fish from the coast are wonderful.

It's simply the best group of vendors and customers in the mountains. We have the best of local food, handmade crafts, music and an amazing community.

I support my BMTM because it brings my community together and provides a place where we can purchase an array of healthy products, organic foods, flowers, plants, as well as many other items, and establish personal relationships with all those that work so hard to bring all these things to our community. It is also leaves a very positive and creative impression on all the children that attend. You hear them talk of wanting to have there own stand where they are able to sell something they have made or grown. They get to see, first hand, the results of hard work and dedication, team work and accomplishment and they all seem to have a good time. We have a good thing going on here in Black Mountain!

Lots of friendly growers are offering to freshist and tastiest vegetables I have bought in years. Others are offering eggs and meat free of hormones and chemicals that I do not want to eat. Wonderful crafts are available fdrom local artisans. And the flowers are spectacularly colorful and fresh! My vote is for the Black Mountain Tailgate Market.

This market is located on a beautiful lot behind the First Baptist Church. It is a grassy area with old oak trees, a welcoming site. The BMTGM is a very family friendly area to spend on a Sat. morning. In addition to the fresh food(garden) vendors, there is a variety of local crafts and fresh baked breads,baked goods and fresh pies and cannolis. The vendors are especially friendly and accomadating. We also have a few children booths set up: toys for children and dogs and cats, dog treats, lemonade and more. There is even a face painting and arts booth. This is a very long standing market and still growing with enthusiam. Thanks for the opportunity.

It is the best market I have ever been to. It feels like family and all the vendors and customers are wonderful. The produce, value added food and crafts are awesome. Let's keep buying local. It's a great thing.

Fresh foods, gorgeous flowers, and wonderful crafts. The people are incredible!

The freshest foods and friendliest people. All produce vendors are conscience farmers using farming techniques to maintain our natural resources and provide wholesome products for the table.

There are many reasons. It was the first step in reviving local agriculture. It has a long history of providing a broad variety of fresh, low spray/no spray food at reasonable prices. Many of our summer visitors look forward to coming to it. It is creating new jobs for working people and is helping to broaden our economy. It keeps money at home. It strengthens our sense of community. And, it is fun!
