I’ll be there tomorrow with pottery, plants and gardener’s salve 🪴💛🌿

We have a fantastic event happening at the Market this week!

French cooking doesn’t have to be complicated — or expensive! Join Emily from The Asheville Kitchen for a relaxed, demo-style class featuring simple, delicious recipes that are easy to recreate at home. We’ll make a summer ratatouille layered with colorful vegetables, a simple shallot vinaigrette that will quickly become your favorite salad dressing for all seasons, and for a sweet finish, we'll make Parisian crepes that are so much easier to make than they look, topped with local fruit and fresh whipped cream.

Come watch, learn, and get inspired while enjoying your Saturday morning at the Market!

Saturday, August 29
11am-12pm

Fresh ingredients, good food, and a little French flair — we’ll see you there!

I’ll be headed back to the Black Mountain Tailgate Market Saturday morning with Pottery, Plants and my Gardener’s Salve!

I went out to the kiln this morning to see who I abandoned there after the last firing, and as usual I found some beauties! All just needing a little work on their bottoms from wood ash drips. So I did some grinding, mugs and vases mostly ✨ I’ll have these pots with me Saturday.

A few of the perennials I’m bringing are blooming right now. I prefer planting when they aren’t flowering if possible, but it’s also nice to see them in all their glory. ‘Henry Eliers’ Rudbeckia, Great Blue Lobelia, and Sochan are pictured here. 🪴

MOST OF US may automatically think “monarch” after hearing the word “milkweed,” or vice versa. And that's in fact a critical and intimate relationship, the one between monarch butterflies and native milkweed plants. But the

Every year I’m fascinated by the Milkweed Bugs. Today I found sections in this guide about their human and ecosystem connections. So cool!!

I finished a small batch of my Gardener’s Salve this week ☀️

I grow and harvest all of the ingredients here on the farm, gently dry them, and infuse them into a blend of organic oils before adding a natural beeswax.

This is our go-to salve for everyday use.

This Salves & Balms item is sold by potteronthefarm. Ships from Swannanoa, NC. Listed on Jul 22, 2026
