Fresh From the Farm to Your Family

Locally sourced organic produce, artisan goods, and sustainable essentials from over 60 Blue Ridge farmers and makers

Shop This Week Visit Us

Asheville's Community Market Since 2009

Verdant Market started as a small cooperative buying group of twelve families committed to supporting local farmers in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Today, we're a full-service organic market and community gathering place in West Asheville, serving over 3,000 families each week with produce, meats, dairy, baked goods, and pantry staples sourced from within a 100-mile radius.

We remain member-owned and mission-driven. Every purchase supports local farms, reduces food miles, and keeps money circulating in our mountain community. Our zero-waste deli prepares fresh meals daily using surplus produce, and our education programs teach kids and adults alike about seasonal eating, food preservation, and sustainable agriculture.

What We Stand For

Locally Sourced

Over 80% of our products come from farms and producers within 100 miles of Asheville. We visit every farm personally and build long-term relationships that support sustainable growing practices.

Certified Organic

We carry exclusively USDA Certified Organic produce and prioritize organic, non-GMO options across all departments. Our buyers verify certifications and conduct annual farm audits.

Zero Waste Mission

Bulk bins, compostable packaging, and a full-circle composting program that returns food waste to partner farms. We've diverted over 45 tons of waste from landfills since launching our zero-waste initiative in 2019.

Community Owned

Verdant is a member-owned cooperative -- every shopper can become an owner with a one-time equity share. Members receive monthly dividends, voting rights, and 10% off all purchases.

  3. We implement the plan with precision and regular communication throughout.

  4. We deliver results that exceed expectations, with ongoing support available.

From Our Community

Verdant isn't just a grocery store -- it's the heart of our neighborhood. I know the farmers who grow my food, the baker who makes my bread, and the people behind the counter by name. You can taste the difference when food is grown with care.

Ellen Whitfield Member since 2012, West Asheville

As a small-scale organic farmer, Verdant has been a lifeline for our family operation. They pay fair prices, pick up from our farm weekly, and feature us at community events. It's the kind of partnership that keeps small farms alive.

My kids love the Saturday morning kids club at Verdant. They learn about where food comes from, plant seeds in the garden, and come home excited about eating vegetables. That's priceless.
