Ecusta Market & Caf\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

By Lauren Stepp<\/p>\n

When Robert and Emily Gunn met a decade ago, healthy eating wasn\u2019t at the top of their priority list. Exhausted from working long shifts\u2014Emily at Wicked Weed Brewing and Robert for Chai Pani Restaurant Group\u2014the young couple would grab dinner at a late-night bar in downtown Asheville each night.<\/p>\n

But all that changed after the couple\u2019s honeymoon in Southeast Asia. \u201cReturning home, Robert experienced a severe reaction to an antibiotic, prompting us to reevaluate our approach to wellness,\u201d Emily explains. \u201cAlong the way, we discovered something deeper: a sense of connection and fulfillment that comes from knowing where your food comes from\u2014how it\u2019s grown, raised and cared for.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s this belief that motivated the Gunns to open Ecusta Market late last fall.<\/p>\n

Situated along the eponymous Ecusta Trail in Hendersonville, the natural grocer offers an impressive selection of meat, produce, dairy, artisanal gifts and non-toxic household goods. Many of these products are sourced as local as it gets\u2014literally from farms just minutes down the road. \u201cThe market creates space to support local growers, makers and artisans while offering better-for-you groceries,\u201d says Emily.<\/p>\n

Robert agrees, adding that he and his wife are \u201ccommitted to complementing the vibrant farmers market scene by offering more traditional grocery store hours\u2014making local, quality products accessible whenever you need them.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is good news for farmers, especially in the wake of Hurricane Helene. When the Category 4 storm thundered into the region, it caused widespread devastation, washing away crops and severely damaging agricultural infrastructure. But with the support of the Gunns, local farmers now have a platform to reach customers and begin rebuilding their businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a central market in which to showcase local vendors brings a wholesomeness that is difficult to describe in words,\u201d says Carolyn Shepherd, who grows microgreens on her Hendersonville farm, HiBear Ridge Homestead. \u201cThis atmosphere generates ingenuity, entrepreneurship and a strong sense of community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Megan Knights, owner of Salt + Light Acres in Saluda, echoes this sentiment. \u201cEvery purchase helps provide feed and routine medical care for our animals,\u201d says Knights, who crafts goat milk bath and body products. \u201cIt\u2019s important to have a local business support us so we can meet the goals we have for our family.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just farmers who benefit from Ecusta Market. It\u2019s also local artists like Macon York, a Henderson County printmaker who crafts greeting cards inspired by native flora and fauna.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these busy times, I create work that celebrates kindness, sincerity and slow living\u2014reminding us to pause and find beauty in life\u2019s simple moments,\u201d says York. \u201cHaving a local venue like Ecusta Market means my art is not only supporting the community but is also rooted in the place that inspires it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, folks have been lining up to buy York\u2019s quippy cards, tangy goat cheese from Round Mountain Creamery, freshly roasted coffee from ShareWell Coffee Co. & Roastery and everything in between.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most rewarding part has been seeing our customers\u2019 reactions and talking to people in the neighborhood who are excited and proud of what we\u2019ve built and are eager to support us,\u201d says Robert. \u201cThose conversations remind us why we took this leap in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later this year, the couple will take another leap of faith as they open a caf\u00e9 in the building next door. According to Emily, the eatery will be a family-centered space where people can \u201cgather as a community\u201d and connect over local food.<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely believe local food has the potential to change the world,\u201d says Robert. \u201cChoosing local food means putting money into your neighbor\u2019s pocket instead of padding the bottom line of a CEO at a giant corporation. It\u2019s a tangible way to strengthen your community while reconnecting with the land and the people who grow your food.\u201d<\/p>\n
