Produce to the People™ provides access to nutritious, culturally relevant food for those facing food insecurity through weekly community markets. Together, we enjoy cooking demos, share food from regional and local farms as well as other healthy staples, and co-create an experience of community connection.
Produce to the People™ Markets
Fresh Produce Markets
Bounty & Soul provides fresh, nutritious food to hundreds of families every month across 12 locations in Buncombe County.
Our no-cost markets offer more than just produce— we share plant-based recipes, hands-on cooking demonstrations, healthy samples, children's activities, well-being resources, nutrition tips, and access to local resources.
Additionally, our Spanish-speaking staff are available to connect participants with local resources.

Farmer's Market Trucks
As food insecurity continues to grow, so has our reach.
