For selling at WNC craft fairs and maker markets, starting with the Makers Market at the Grove Arcade in Asheville: crafters, artisans and farmers who live in Asheville, Buncombe County or an adjoining county can apply with a product evaluation form, proof of residency and a $50 fee, then are interviewed with samples of their work. Stall fees aren't on the page, so use it to watch buyers handle your product before you commit to wholesale, and ask whether goods made with machines or in a factory fit its craft evaluation.
