Tailgate Markets<br />
When you shop at farmers markets, you don’t just get the freshest<br />
Appalachian Grown produce, meat, cheese, eggs, and artisan products<br />
possible. You also make a direct connection with the farmers who grew<br />
that food. You can ask them your questions and learn their stories.<br />
By buying directly from farmers at producer-only tailgate markets,<br />
you build relationships in your community, support family farms, and<br />
strengthen the local food economy—all while filling your market basket<br />
with the best food our region has to offer.<br />
Some markets extend their seasons for holiday markets in November<br />
and December with late-season produce as well as locally made gift<br />
items. A few markets operate year-round or have special winter markets.<br />
