Buckskin Hollow and The Pasta Wench

Buckskin Hollow is a homestead we created out of a need and desire to live closer to the land and in direct connection with our food (i.e. life). We have been working toward creating a home that lives as efficiently as possible with the cycles of nature. We strive to use as little petroleum based energy as possible creating a space that can easily be managed through human and horse power. We get closer to our goals every year. We are not striving to be self sufficient so to speak but to be dependent primarily upon ourselves and the community around us.

We are currently selling Spring Veggies and Lettuces from the garden as well as products from our neighbor The Pasta Wench.

The Pasta Wench Pasta is made with 95% ingredients from NC organic growers. We know our farmers face to face and support local suppliers. This is the foundation of our business.

Pasta Wench is a small family owned company nestled in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Boone NC and Swannanoa, NC.

We create all-natural Gourmet Pasta including Ravioli, Fettuccini,  Cavatelli, and Spaghetti, as well as homemade gourmet sauces to accompany them.

Our Pasta is mindfully created with simple, local, natural and organic ingredients. We allow the seasons and the sustainability of our ingredients to direct us in the preparation of our traditional pastas. With respect, caring and culinary craftsmanship, we develop flavor combinations designed to challenge your palette while providing you with the comfort-food warmth that only homemade pasta can provide.

Sweeter by the Season

Sarah and James of Sweeter by the Season.

Hello! I am Sarah Grenier, owner of Sweeter by the Season and am thrilled to say this is our first year at the High Country Farmers’ Market! We look foward to meeting its loyal customers and  want you to get to know us. So, here is a little about the company. We are a small, local business that specializes in all-natural, great-tasting, scratch-made baked goods. I love scrumptious sweets and want to offer a fresh, local alternative to ready-made treats and packaged mixes. Thus, I plan to utilize as many organic and local ingredients to offer creative baked goods to customers in Boone. Sweeter by the Season strives for sustainability; therefore, we only offer products in season. With that in mind, we promise it will be just as delicious as the seasons intended it to be!
