A Conscious City Guide to:
Asheville, NC
Birth Doula and founder of C and The Moon, Carson Meyer moved from Los Angeles to Asheville, North Carolina, a place where we’ve long known of a strong healer and healing community. So, we asked Carson to share some of her favorite spots for our next visit.

South African cuisine in Asheville, NC – paired with great drinks and a mini farm.
This new spot has the best natural wine and oysters in town. This is a foodies paradise.
This cafe is a great place to get some work done or take a meeting. I love their bubble teas.
Another farmers market find. Silver Moon chocolates are infused with adaptogens and so thoughtfully made. The founder hosted a very special birth blessing cacao ceremony for me with their cult favorite cacao drink that I am hooked on.
A farmers market favorite! Sara makes the most delicious ferments and hot sauce locally in Weaverville. Her kimchi shot was a pregnancy lifesaver.

We were lucky enough to have Paeonia as our postpartum doula. Her body/womb work is magic and she has so much wisdom to offer.

From bedding and table ware to baby essentials and beauty, this spot has a beautiful collection of products made with integrity.
This is the best local alternative to Whole Foods when it comes to grocery shopping for all the basic necessities.
Another great Co-op when it comes to grocery shopping.
This market is smaller than the North Avl tailgate but is located on a shaded grassy field and a great spot to meet up with friends and walk around town afterwards. Open Saturday Morning 9-12pm.
We look forward to this market every week. It is where we get our pastured and grass fed stock bones and organ meats. Open Saturdays.
