"What happened to Asheville's Farm to Fender food truck that used to be at this website?"
According to their facebook page (which appears to still be active), the owners of the Farm to Fender food truck decided in November 2018 to take time off to focus on family and their catering business. So, in order to continue supporting the local farm to town movement, we're hoping to help spread the word about Asheville area farmers markets.
