Our New Autumn Menu is Here! 🍁

Y’all, we gave our entire menu a fall refresh, and after being open for over a year now, it’s really exciting to try out some new items.

Autumn Apple Toast. Braised Chuck Sandwich. Black Bean & Beet Burger. Caesar Salad. Autumn Harvest Salad. Joyce Farms wings. Acorn Squash & Burrata. Girl Dinner (!!). New dinner plates with a whole lineup of new sides. And FOCACCIA PIZZAS made with focaccia from French Broad Pastry.

And because apparently that wasn’t enough, brunch got some new additions too: Stewed Apple Pancakes, a Braised Chuck & Pimento Cheese Biscuit, and Scrambles.

Plus, you can now add shrimp as a protein, there’s a new Almond Butter & Imladris Farms jam sandwich for the kiddos, and our overnight oats got a fall makeover.

Basically, you’re going to need a few visits to try it all. Come try the new fall menu and let us know what you think! 🍎🍂

Autumn has a very special place in my heart. When our first daughter was born, it was right as the cold air started settling in. As our family has grown over the years, it always feels like this change of season brings our family peace and a little magic. We spend more time outside. We start to go to bed earlier. Our wood stove comes back to life.

We’re hoping the market and cafe bring a little of that magic to y’all too. We’ve filled our shelves with supplies for baking and crafts, fall-flavored teas from Asheville Tea Company, pumpkin honey from Honeybee Bliss 🐝, pumpkin spice peanut butter from Kathy O'Neal, fall dog treats from Botanical Bones | Treat Dogs with Wellness, and so much more.

Also, our new fall drink menu is pretty fantastic, at least in my biased opinion. Our baristas are having so much fun toasting marshmallows for you!

Come see us soon, and enjoy the first days of fall on the Ecusta Trail. 🍁

Meet Appalachian Jules!

If you’ve spent some time browsing the Market, you’ve probably come across Appalachian Jules. Julia Johnson lives in Hendersonville and makes handmade, non-toxic, nature-inspired goods for the home.

Julia grew up on Lake Keowee in Seneca, SC, and has always had a strong connection to the outdoors. After studying nutrition and dietetics at Clemson, she moved to Western North Carolina and started Appalachian Jules in 2020 while in graduate school for mental health counseling.

Her candles are made with soy wax, wood wicks, phthalate-free fragrances, essential oil blends and natural flora, and her soaps are made using the traditional cold-process method with natural and sustainable oils.

“I believe that every item that enters the home should have a purpose, bring joy, and provide beauty.”

These days, when she’s not creating in her home studio, you can find her at local art markets or outside with her husband, two rescue dogs and their 5-month-old son.

We love getting to fill the Market with goods made by people in our community, and we’re so happy to have Appalachian Jules on our shelves. Next time you’re in, take a look! ✨

Fall drinks are here! 🍂 Which feels a little strange considering it’s supposed to be 87 degrees today, but we’re going for it anyway.

This year we’ve got a Candied Pecan Latte, Caramel Apple Butter Latte, Sweet Potato Pie Latte (for PSL fans, this will be your go-to), a Fireside Latte (think S’mores), a Hot Buttered Chai, and warm, local Apple C***r.

And a little thing we’re especially proud of: every single syrup is made in house. Tested and workshopped by our baristas and kitchen until we get it right.

Almost everything can be made iced, too, and topped house-made vanilla or maple-cinnamon cold foam. So you can still enjoy some fall flavors while staying cool for now.

Which one are you most excited to try??

It’s Apple Festival weekend, so clearly we had to get in on the apple fun.

We’re giving you a little sneak peek of our upcoming Autumn drink menu with an Iced Caramel Apple Butter Latte featuring local Imladris Farm Apple Butter, topped with Apple Cold Foam and finished with a Brown Butter Caramel Drizzle. Y’ALL. It is so good.

And there are plenty more apple things happening in the market right now! Local apple c***r, Spicewalla Spices Apple Pie Spice, Imladris Farm Apple Butter, Asheville Tea Company Spiced Apple Butter Tea, Apple Pie Honey and lots more.

We know everyone is ready for fall, but it’s still summer as far as we can tell 😂 so the full Autumn drink menu will have to wait just a little bit longer. For now, come get your apple fix and enjoy Apple Festival weekend with us!

We’ll be open our regular hours all weekend, including Labor Day Monday! 🍎

Happy Labor Day Weekend, Hendersonville

Local produce is showing off right now!

We’ve got melons from Bearwallow Valley Farms, beautiful NC blueberries, and gorgeous eggplant grown in Lake Lure, NC in the market right now.

Showcasing produce grown here in our region whenever we can is such a big part of the heart of our market. We love knowing where our food comes from, getting to support the people growing it, and sharing all that goodness with you.

FRIDAY FAVORITES: Velvet Grapefruit

This week’s Friday Favorite is extra special because the maker behind Faybrianne is also one of our very own Market Managers! We love Faybrianne, and we love getting to share her work with you.

Faybrianne is a fiber artist based here in the mountains of WNC, but her love of working with her hands goes back generations. Her great-grandmother was a quilter, her grandmother sewed much of her mother’s clothing, and Faybrianne has carried that tradition forward in her own way.

Her weaving journey started with a vintage kit loom she found on Marketplace, the kind that was popular in the ’60s and ’70s. It lasted just long enough to make two scarves, but that was enough for her to fall in love with the process.

For Faybrianne, working with fiber is a connection to the generations before her who worked with their hands as a way of life. And while her roots are in the Midwest, her work is very much connected to the place she calls home today. Most of the cotton yarn she uses is grown and spun right here in North Carolina.

Come check out Velvet Grapefruit in the Market, and if you see Faybrianne working while you’re here, be sure to tell her how talented she is.
