Our Mission
The Watauga County Farmers' Market shall encourage and promote local agriculture, horticulture, value added, and craft industries in Watauga County and the adjacent area; to provide producers a site to market their goods directly to the consumer; and to provide consumers a market to obtain quality goods directly from local producers.”
Two food trucks will be on-site weekly and many vendors offer ready-to-eat goodies allowing patrons to enjoy a hot breakfast or pastry and a cup of coffee or a smoothie while they shop.
