Welcome to our Blog post on a very important place in our town
The Henderson County Curb Market has been a local Hendersonville tradition since 1924. What began as a group of farmers bringing their extra produce to town for the “city folk” has expanded over the years to include some of the freshest fruits & vegetables, plants & fresh cut flowers, homemade jams, jellies & baked goods and hand made mountain crafts.
A favorite of locals and visitors alike, the Curb Market always has something different. Each vendor brings his specialty items for a unique collection of offerings. Come visit and make new friends while enjoying some of the best that Henderson County has to offer.
A couple of times a year folks at the Curb Market stage an Old Timey Day. It's a very special time. There is plenty of good food cooked the old timey way. Ham biscuits, sausage and gravy are prepared on a genuine wood stove. Home made ice cream is offered as an encore.
There is good country music played -- most times -- by an outstanding local band.
Demonstrations by local artisans are crowd pleasers -- like the two men "blacksmithing" in the photograph above.
The photograph above shows many of the vendors who are "regulars" at the Curb Market. It was made in 2003.
The photo above represents many of the vendors. It was made in June 2014. You will notice that some of the folks in the 2003 photo are also present in the 2014 image. It is a changing scene.
There was a time when one had "to be born into becoming a vendor".
Spaces for selling were passed along from generation to generation.
Hendersonville is fortunate to have the Curb Market as a special attraction for local folks and visitors alike. It's a special place.
