Ashe County Farmers Market

Nestled in the heart of downtown West Jefferson and conveniently located near local dining and shopping establishments, the Ashe County Farmers Market serves as a vibrant hub, showcasing the best of Ashe County. This market is a celebration of local craftsmanship and agriculture, featuring fresh seasonal produce grown by local farmers and juried crafts meticulously crafted by Ashe County artisans. The offerings include a delightful mix of fresh vegetables, fruits, local honey, molasses, maple syrup, meats, and homemade jams and jellies.

Programs Include:

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Our Market participates in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and accepts EBT cards on site during market hours. Participants may purchase tokens in $1 and $5 denominations to purchase most market foods; including baked goods, fruits, veggies, meats, fish and poultry and dairy products.  Seeds and plant starts, such as herbs and tomato plants, because they are edible, are also eligible purchases.

To use your SNAP benefits please find the Market Manager who will assist you with purchasing tokens.  All vendors can assist you with tracking her down!

WIC and Senior Farmer Market Nutrition Program (FMNP)

Understanding the importance of incorporating more fresh, local produce into your family diet, the ACFM proudly participates in both the WIC and Senior FMNP programs.  Valid vouchers may be spent on local fruits and vegetables at our market through participating vendors.  Vendors will not accept vouchers after the valid date on the voucher and are not able to provide any change for your purchase, but will gladly add some additional fruit or veggies to ensure you receive the full value for your voucher.
