It’s great to look for items at Ingles Markets from our local farmers and food makers, whether it’s a crunchy apple from Hendersonville or Waynesville, Sunburst trout from Haywood County, local milk from Milkco (supplied by local dairy farmers) or Big Bottom Milk company, an ice cream sandwich from Sunshine Sammie’s or a delicious popcorn mix from Poppy’s popcorn.
