This market is brought to you by the Swannanoa Resilience Hub, a local nonprofit supporting long term disaster recovery and community resilience through care, collaboration, and connection. Your continued support helps our community access fresh foods, culturally relevant programming, and disaster resources. This is resilience in action.
Hurricane Helene left Swannanoa residents without access to fresh food and local vendors without income. In February of 2025, the market began as a community effort, spearheaded by The Hub’s board member Deana Lytle.
The storm destroyed our farms, grocery, and produce stores in Swannanoa. The Swannanoa Resilience Hub is currently working with Mountain Food Products at the WNC Farmers Market to provide fresh produce at each market. We are also actively seeking farm vendors for local produce, meats, and food products.
