FRIDAY FAVORITES: Salt + Light Acres 🐐

This week’s Friday Favorite is Salt + Light Acres, a small family farm just down the road in Saluda, NC!

Megan and Josh Knights raise Nigerian Dwarf goats and have found all kinds of wonderful ways to put the fresh goat milk from their herd to good use. Their line includes goat milk soaps, sugar scrubs, lotions, bath soaks and more, all made with a focus on using what their farm provides and being good stewards of it.

We love getting to carry products made by small local farms like this, and these are such a fun addition to the market. Next time you’re in, take a look at the Salt + Light Acres collection!

At Ecusta, one thing is certain, we LOVE Big Spoon Roasters! Hailing from Hillsborough, NC, this local nut butter business is the best around (I’m not exaggerating when I say our family currently has four open jars in our pantry). We carry a pretty large selection of their nut butters, bars, and Wag butters (for the pups). We are SO excited to now be carrying their newest seasonal flavor- Cherry Pie Cashew & Almond Butter! As the newest flavor hits the shelves we’re unfortunately saying goodbye to Pistachio Brownie
 Snag a jar the next time you’re in the market before they’re gone!

Have you tried Asheville Tea Company yet?

If not, Friday is your chance!

They’ll be hanging out at the market from 10am to 12pm pouring samples of two of our favorites: Blue Ridge Mountain Mint and Hibiscus Mojito.

We love these teas because they’re made with real botanicals, sourced from farms here in the Southeast, and the cold brew blends are really refreshing this time of year.

Swing by and hang out ]for a bit!

Two great tastings are happening at Ecusta Market this weekend!

Friday, July 24 | 10 AM to 12 PM

We’re excited to welcome Safelight Safelight and Dandelion to the market! Stop by to learn about the incredible work they’re doing to support individuals and families in our community, and sample their delicious, locally made baking mixes.

These mixes are handcrafted as part of Dandelion’s paid job training program, where participants receive workforce development, financial stability education, case management, and hands on experience in a safe, supportive environment. Every purchase helps support their mission while investing in meaningful opportunities right here in Western North Carolina. We’ll be offering $1 off their mixes during the tasting!

Saturday, July 25 | 1 PM to 3 PM

Join us for a complimentary wine tasting with Chris Thornbury from Rise Over Run Wine! Sample a thoughtfully curated selection of small production, minimal intervention wines that celebrate a true sense of place.

We hope you’ll join us for a weekend of great food, great wine, and great people.

Plastic Free July is a great excuse to rethink some of the everyday products we use the most.

Green Go Cleaning Co. is on a mission to help families create a cleaner home without synthetic fragrances, harsh chemicals, or questionable ingredients. Every product is plant based, handcrafted in Pisgah Forest, NC, and made to be effective and safe.

We’re proud to carry Green Go’s Laundry Powder and Dishwasher Powder in bulk. Bring your own container or grab one here, refill what you need, and skip another plastic bottle while supporting a local Western North Carolina maker.

Little swaps really do add up, and this one is good for your home, your family, and the whole planet.

We’ve got a fun weekend lined up at Ecusta Market & Cafe!

Saturday (1–3pm): Stop by for our next Sample It Saturday with our friends from Hickory Nut Gap. Amy will be cooking up samples of their pasture raised breakfast sausage, and during the tasting you’ll get 10% off all Hickory Nut Gap breakfast sausage in the market.

Sunday (10am–12pm): We’re excited to welcome Craig LeHoullier, better known as the NC Tomato Man, for a tomato tasting, Q&A, and book signing! Bring your tomato questions, sample some incredible varieties, and pick up a signed copy of Epic Tomatoes while you’re here.

It’s going to be a great weekend of good food and learning from some awesome folks. We hope you’ll come spend a little time with us! 🍅🌿

It’s What’s New Wednesday, and we’re still celebrating Plastic Free July!

If you’ve been looking for a few easy swaps to cut back on single use plastics, here are some of our favorites around the market right now.

Stasher Bag reusable bags have become a go to for snacks, leftovers, and travel. They’re washable, reusable, and something I really like to keep on hand for our kids.

If you’re like us and can never seem to throw away a good mason jar, Bamboo Switch reusable mason jar lids make them even more useful for drinks on the go. Add a stainless steel straw from Zero Waste Store and you’ve got an instant iced coffee cup.

We also love the beeswax wraps from Shor Products. They’re a great replacement for plastic wrap and work really well for wrapping up produce, sandwiches, or covering bowls. I always keep a small stack in our kitchen. They also make really great gifts.

And because we can’t resist beautiful kitchen tools, we also have handcrafted wooden pieces from Made in Bus Woodcraft, including herb st*****rs, pot scrapers, spatulas, spoons, egg holders, and more. They’re made in Western North Carolina, which makes us love them even more.

Have you made any plastic free swaps that you’ve ended up loving? We’d love to hear what’s become a staple for your family!

This week’s Vendor Spotlight is Little Seed Farm!

There are so many reasons we love having on our shelves. Their products are thoughtfully made, effective, and created with so much care for both people and the planet.

Everything is made on their family farm in Tennessee using regenerative farming practices and 100% solar power. They use natural and organic ingredients, package their products in reusable glass and metal whenever possible, and even have a Return & Reuse program that gives empty containers another life instead of sending them to the landfill.

Their natural deodorant has become a favorite with both our team and our family, and their soaps and skincare are just as wonderful.

If you haven’t taken a look yet, next time you’re in, stop by the wellness section and give Little Seed Farm a try. I PROMISE you’ll love them!
