The Historic Curb Market - Hendersonville, NC

By
Real Estate Agent with Bungalow Real Estate

The Curb Market has been operating in Downtown Hendersonville since 1924.

Locally Grown - Locally Made! One of My favorite places! 

 

The Curb Market began as a group of farmers that brought their extra produce to town for the "city folk" to enjoy. It quickly became a popular place, expanding to include milk, eggs, butter, fresh fruit and vegetables, plants, jellies and backed goods and hand made mountain crafts. I have met some of the women that work their "booth" they are "the real south". The items for sale at the Curb Market have to be grown or produced in Henderson County. The same folks have run their booths for generations.

I love to go down on a Sat morning and be the first one to get to my favorite booth. A lady and man that can, bake, and grow some amazing stuff. I can frequently get fresh dahlias, HUGE flowers, fresh cut that morning. She also will have some great berries, maybe only a couple pints, but they are the best. Her husband will be out in the parking lot with a pickup full of fresh sweet corn. Then just for kicks I'll have to pick up a loaf of zucchini bread.

My office just happens to be just a few blocks from the Curb Market. It sure can be easy to run in on a Tues morning before staff meeting and grab some fresh muffins, biscuits or cinnamon rolls. I always have to buy more since my colleagues can get jealous. 

So, don't miss a visit to a Henderson County tradition.  Locally grown, locally made!
