The North Asheville Tailgate Market, a Saturday morning institution for those who love fresh produce, plants and flowers, will reopen for the season at 7 a.m. Saturday, April 19, on the UNC Asheville campus. The area’s oldest producer-only farmers' market continues to expand adding seven new vendors this year. The market is open 7 a.m. to noon every Saturday through Christmas at UNC Asheville’s northeast parking lot off Edgewood Road.

"It is a pleasure to work with UNC Asheville," said Cathie Osada, market co-manager. "The University's hospitality is an excellent example of how our community values and supports local food and local farms."

To visit the North Asheville Tailgate Market, enter the UNC Asheville campus at the traffic circle on W.T. Weaver Boulevard. Travel up the main drive and take the first right at the blue sign that reads Commuter/Faculty-Staff Parking Lot C. A campus map is available online at www.unca.edu/campusmap/.
