The Holiday Bazaar at French Broad Food Coop brings local food and gifts to the heart of downtown Asheville. The event, now in its seventh year, allows shoppers to support local farmers and artisans as they celebrate the holidays. The Holiday Bazaar is open Saturday, December 5, 12, and 19 from 11:00a.m.-4:00p.m. at 90 Biltmore Avenue.

It may be winter, but you can still make your special holiday meals and party foods from the best, local ingredients, including these, offered at the Bazaar:

· Breads, cookies, pastries, all natural fruit cakes, and other baked goods, including gluten free options

· Sorghum molasses, jam, mustard, and other preserves

· Eggs, cheeses, turkey, pork, lamb, beef, and seafood brought in fresh from the North Carolina coast by a local

· Fresh vegetables

· Chocolates, grits, cornmeal, and more certified Appalachian Grown, authentically local foods

In addition to food, you’ll find local gifts and decorations for sale at the Holiday Bazaar:

· Christmas trees, wreathes, and swags

· Potted, forced bulbs, ready to bloom indoors in winter

· Soaps and beauty products

· Pottery, clothing, and other items handmade by regional artisans

“Come support local farmers—in all seasons,” baker and organizer Aimee Mostwill invites.

What is the French Broad Food Coop? We are a community-owned co-operative — a business owned by the people who work and shop here; a place where everyone makes a difference. From our days as a buying club of friends and families in 1975 to the bustling downtown storefront we have today, the Co-op has been a center for the community and a leader in healthful and natural living.

The French Broad Food Co-op is about a lot of things, but first and foremost it’s about you. You own it! You shape it! You make it grow! We appreciate your commitment to us from the bottom of our hearts!
