Press release from Athens Farmer’s Market

We are growing, growing, growing! Not only in produce, but in size! Visit the Historic Downtown Athens for a fun day of community support.

This Saturday, March 30, we will be featuring the North 19 Volunteer Fire Department. Homemade breakfast taco sales each weekend help keep gas in their trucks. Summer is on its way and they need our support!

We have everything from baked goods (breads, cookies, sweetbreads and pies), tamales, jams and jellies including: strawberry pineapple, peach, blackberry, blueberry, wild plum, pickled vegetables, salsas, relishes and soups.

Don’t forget about free-range eggs, fresh grown herbs, local raw honey, granolas and sugar scrubs.

We also feature local artisans’ handcrafted items such as wood cutting boards, screen printed t-shirts, Texas crafts and handcrafted natural gemstone jewelry.

Local produce includes, but is not limited to, naturally grown carrots, greens, kohlrabi, mixed lettuces, purple and green okra, cabbages, onions, frozen shelled peas (black eye, red ripper, and zipper cream).
