Who
we are

Haywood Grows Farm Fest 2026 is a first-year event honoring western North Carolina farming traditions, with a special love for one of Appalachia’s most iconic crops — tomatoes. The festival showcases local and regional farmers, artisan handicrafts, Appalachian foods, live music, storytelling, games, participatory activities, and a strong sense of community pride — all in a family-friendly atmosphere.
