The Athens Farmers Market Team
Gunnar attended the University of Georgia for a BFA in Drawing & Painting back in 2014. Little did he know at the time, he was setting down roots for Athens to be his long time home.
Over the years you may have seen him or his scribbles around town in places like Treehouse Kid & Craft, Creature Comforts Brewing Co., M3 Yoga, Athfest and more! The belief that everyone is born creative and full of superhero potential is a grounding principle in his work and life.
His time spent working at local businesses has created a strong yearning to help foster and support the community in every way he can. Catch him at the weekly markets likely dressed in green overalls, sunny yellow glasses and a smile!
Gabriella joined the Athens Farmers Market team in July 2026, after spending the last 10 years in hospitality management. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America (‘16), Gabriella has spent her career working with a passion for food sustainability, local food communities, and sharing kindness & genuine hospitality in all aspects of her life.
She is thrilled to return to her hometown of Athens and be a part of the community in such a meaningful way! In her free time, she enjoys spending time in her garden with her fur baby Luna, trying new recipes and catching up on all her favorite reality shows.
Athens is a music town, so having music at the market is a given!
Susan started her liaison with the market as a performing musician, and then took over booking performers in 2012. At that time, Susan was already booking music for events with the Athens Folk Music & Dance Society & Athfest.
You can also catch her performing at the market with one of her many bands (all Athens musicians are in at least 2!) including The Hobohemians, The Solstice Sisters & String Theory. Playing the market is a joy & she loves giving others the opportunity to connect with their community through music!
