Historic Haywood Market 101: Local Goods, Fresh Food & Community Vibes

Historic Haywood Market 101: Local Goods, Fresh Food & Community Vibes

EAT BETTER. LIVE BETTER.

Discover the charm of Haywood’s Historic Farmers Market, your go-to spot for fresh, local goodness every Saturday from 9 AM to 12 PM! Located at the HART Theater parking lot in Waynesville, NC, the market has been a community favorite since 2008. You’ll find farm-fresh produce, artisan goods, and friendly faces—all sourced from Haywood County and surrounding areas.

Whether you're a regular or just passing through, it’s the perfect place to connect with local growers, support small businesses, and enjoy a taste of the mountains. Come for the flavors, stay for the vibe!

WHAT TO EXPECT

From farm-fresh meats, eggs, and fish to vibrant flowers, golden honey, and irresistible baked goods—you’ll find it all at Haywood’s Historic Farmers Market. Throughout the season, enjoy live music from talented local musicians right in the heart of the market, along with a delicious crepe truck serving up both sweet and savory treats.

Sip on a specialty drink as you stroll through the market and fill your basket with the best of Haywood County’s bounty. And yes—well-behaved pups on leashes are always welcome to join the fun!

LOCAL VENDORS

One of the best parts of visiting the Historic Haywood Market is connecting with the local vendors and hearing the stories behind the goods they grow, make, and share. It’s more than just shopping—it’s about community. You might meet the folks from Hidden Valley Farm in Clyde, known for their irresistibly delicious sorghum syrup granola (seriously, consider yourself warned—it’s addictive). Or chat with the passionate couple behind Mighty Gnome Garden, who are dedicated to sustainable, organic farming in Waynesville. Every booth has a story, and that’s what makes this market truly special.

SNAP/EBT

The Farmers Market is proud to accept SNAP/EBT benefits. Stop by the market information booth to get started and pick up your tokens. The Market also participates in the Double Up Food Bucks program that helps match your SNAP/EBT dollars up to $20 per customer per day!

ORDER IN ADVANCE

Many of the market vendors are able to take orders over the phone, by email or online, allowing you to pick up your produce, quick and easy.

Check out their website to explore all the awesome vendors —and don’t forget to snap a pic and tag @VisitHaywood in your market finds! 📸
