WELCOME

Athens Farmers Market is an organization of local farmers, craftspeople and volunteers working to make local naturally grown food, crafts and works of art available for the good of all. Celebrate treasures that are uniquely Athens. Our food grown in our soil by our farmers. Our crafts made in our homes by our artists. Our music, our merriment, and our memories shared on Saturday mornings and Tuesday afternoons May - November.
