We have been working hard to establish Emergency Safety Guidelines in order to safely operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.  It’s important for all to remember that we are able to be open because we are an open-air grocery store, not a social gathering.

NEW OPTION: PRE-ORDER YOUR PRODUCTS

In order to best serve all of our vendors during this time, we have established a pre-sale and pick-up option so you’re still able to purchase items from vendors you love while having as little contact as possible at the market.  Click below to read about how this option works and why it was created.

How local businesses are adjusting to the COVID-19 crisis: Save the Bees and Enjoy the Honey with Asheville Bee Charmer
Oct 27 @ 1:13 am – 2:13 am
Online

Fall is in full swing in Asheville which means sweater weather, warm fires and cozy cups of tea. What could go better with that than some fresh and local honey from the Asheville Bee Charmer. Discover delicious recipes, practice some self-care with their skincare line, and much more. We spoke with beekeeper/co-owner Jillian to find out a little more about how they’re adapting to COVID changes and keeping up with the bees! 

While we’ve all had to adjust to the “new normal” (whatever that is), our local business owners and managers have their own stories to tell about how they’ve been affected and what they are doing during these unprecedented times. Dig Local is proud to interview some of the awesome folks who make Asheville, Asheville.
