On April 1, 2025, Appalachian Sage, the acai bowl restaurant, closed its doors and immediately opened them back up as Wildberry Market. The owners of Season’s Yield Cafe in downtown Lexington, Daniel and Fawn Shear, came to an agreement with the previous owner of Appalachian Sage, Sarah Littlefair, to buy the building.
Previously, Appalachian Sage was a restaurant/tavern with acai bowls, smoothies, and special artifacts such as crystals, gems, and candles, on the other side of the building. The building is small and there aren’t many seating options, but they made it work.
Although the outside of the building has not changed, Wildberry Market’s owners have made the inside cozy and welcoming to all the customers. They installed new seating areas, switched up the way the order and acai counter are arranged, and added a new coating of white paint on the walls.
Even with the owners changing, this place remains busy with a constant flow of customers coming in and ordering a yummy treat. The owners may have re-branded but the place is still the same.
