Enka-Candler Tailgate Market | Explore Asheville The Enka-Candler Tailgate Market’s purpose is to promote local agriculture and heritage crafts in Western North Carolina, to provide the Enka-Candler community with a market for fresh local produce and other quality products, and to serve as an educational resource. It is run by Asheville Farmstead School, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation, along with an Advisory Committee, volunteers, and involved community members.

The Enka-Candler Farmers' Market opens April 30 in the A-B Tech parking lot (1465 Sand Hill Rd). Thursdays 3:30-6:30pm through October. Great spot for produce, crafts, and local goods without fighting downtown traffic. #AVL #WNC #AVLEats
