About MTMA
The Mountain Tailgate Market Association (MTMA) is a collaborative group of farmer- and vendor-only markets in the southern
Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina. Formed in 2002, the organization works collaboratively to promote the local
markets, fresh food, and artisan crafts of the area's farmers, artists, bakers, food processors, and other producers.
The MTMA is happy to collaborate and share the tools that have made their efforts a success. Funded through grants
from Southern SARE, the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP), the Risk Management Agency (RMA) of the
US Department of Agriculture, and the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission, the MTMA understands that
spreading resources and lessons is fundamental to promoting fresh food and direct farmer connections.
