An association of the grower/producer only farmer’s tailgate markets in Madison, Buncombe, and Yancey counties. A tailgate market where a grower can sell directly to the consumer is perhaps the small farmer's best opportunity to profit from their land and efforts. A tailgate market where consumers can talk directly to the grower, get the freshest produce possible, and experience the health-giving effects of that freshness, is the consumer's best access to quality.
