The Mountain Tailgate Market Association (MTMA) is made up of the farmer and vendor only markets of Buncombe and Madison counties 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 of the finest products made by local vendors. The MTMA is happy to share the tools of collaboration 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 of resources and lessons is a fundamental tool for spreading the message of fresh food and direct farmer connections.
