Area farmers tailgate markets sure looked like fall on the first official day of the new season thanks to displays of Indian corn, pumpkins, and, of course, apples.
“You gotta try these,” said shopper Mary Thompson about B and L Organic’s Royal Limbertwig apples, which were nestled among their ever-growing supply of pumpkins atNorth Asheville Tailgate Market. Also find B and L at French Broad Food Co-op (FBFC) Wednesday Tailgate Market and West Asheville Tailgate Market. McConnell Farms (Asheville City Market, Asheville City Market South, North Asheville Tailgate Market) plans to have Galas next week and likely Cameos, too. While they can’t say for sure, they promise “a sweet and a tart; an apple for everyone’s taste buds!”
Expect more pumpkins from additional vendors in the coming weeks. And grab up another fall decorating must-have: Indian corn. Both Earhart Market Gardens and Tsalagi Greens had gorgeous, colorful displays last weekend at Asheville City Market and will continue offering it as the season sets in.

If all this doesn’t have you in the fall spirit, Thanksgiving talk should. You can already reserve a local turkey from Which Came First Farm! Find them at FBFC Wednesday Tailgate Market and Oakley Farmers Market.
