The aim of Pickup Market is to curate an innovative outlet for the best of the Asheville-area’s prepared foods brands to sell their products without the labor-intensive requirements of an in-person markets and pop-ups.
Products like the juices and coffee concentrates will be sold in upcycled glass bottles that can be returned for reuse week after week.
