Who We Are

Nourish Appalachia is a community-led initiative of the Black Mountain Tailgate Market, working to strengthen Western North Carolina’s local food system through connection, compassion, and resilience. We believe that food is more than sustenance - it’s the thread that weaves our community together.

We work to:

  • Support small farmers, makers, and food producers who keep our region fed.

  • Increase access to fresh, local food for everyone in our community.

  • Build partnerships that promote sustainable and just food systems.

  • Celebrate the stories and people that make Appalachian food culture thrive.
