KIDS ACTIVITIES

At the Athens Farmers Market, we see kids as an integral part of the Athens community.  AFM has become a “Saturday morning staple” for many families, as it serves as a welcoming space for both adult shoppers and their younger counterparts. Each Saturday, beginning at 9, we have a free, fun, and family-friendly activity at the Children’s Booth. 

Over the 2021 season, Maya Alandete, the community coordinator, along with partnering organizations, presented various engaging activities- nature-fairy-making, veggie stamping, paper marbling, fortune telling, candy fishing, plant dissections, and sun-catcher making. 

Our hope is that children and families look forward to coming to the market, assured that there’s a place for everyone to have fun. To be able to foster a love and investment in both our community and local food system is a great privilege, and we love being there for every Athens family on Saturday mornings. Come join us throughout this season to create, play, and laugh!
