About the event

Welcome to The Tomato Jam! Join us at The Mule in Asheville, North Carolina for a celebration of Western North Carolina’s favorite summer crop—the tomato. The Tomato Jam brings together farmers, growers, chefs, makers, musicians, gardeners, and food lovers for a day of local food, live music, community, and Appalachian culture. From heirloom tomatoes and farm-fresh produce to tomato-inspired dishes, handcrafted goods, and great music, The Tomato Jam celebrates everything that makes Western North Carolina special. We’re looking for tomato growers, chefs, restaurants, makers, artisans, nonprofits, and businesses that share a passion for local food, agriculture, and community. Whether you grow them, cook them, preserve them, paint them, or simply love them, we’d love to have you join us. Admission is FREE. Vendor participation is FREE. Vendors keep 100% of their sales. We proudly support ASAP Connections and encourage vendors and attendees to learn more about their mission supporting local farms, food systems, and community resilience throughout Western North Carolina. Come celebrate the mighty tomato and jam out to some great music with us at The Mule.
