Athens Farmers Market

“Best farmers market. Several farms represented, produce, beef, chicken, eggs, everything you need. Art and gifts from multiple vendors. And you can’t leave without some of the best jelly I ever had”

“Third time this summer. Best place to be in the Summer afternoon. Good beer, food and live music. Most people visits are regular visitor.”

“More beautiful finds from the market this week! Fresh hibiscus and figs! Excited to see what's in season next week!”

“I absolutely adore the fresh produce and wonderful people that we experience in our Saturday venture here!”

“Big farmer's market. Nice to the southern local businesses bloom in a small city like Athens. Seen a lot of unique stalls like candles and jewelers. On the other hand typical farmers market stuff like meat, eggs, & produce. What caught my eye was the Sri Lankan food stall that also sold some Indian items like Vada and Mango lassi. The people were very cordial, patient, and welcoming. However, I would have to say, everything in the market was ridiculously expensive for a small city like Athens.”

“Went last year for the first time. Went again today and there seemed to be less vendors. Prices are super high. Yes, I know it's local and all, but I'm just stating facts. $8 will get you a pound of tomatoes or a dozen eggs. $20 will get you a pint of honey. It gets super crowded early. We bought turkey legs for the dogs, some produce and some really good sourdough and a cinnamon roll. I'm probably good for one visit per season...”

“Response to owner: I'm sorry but I have to correct you. The vendor Rebakery who sells the macarons does in fact use artificial food dyes. It was transparent, because it was listed on the label from the flavors we bought. But several of the options had it. The vibe here was great. Nice space with covered shopping. There were 3 or 4 butcher style trucks so if you need proteins be sure to bring an ice packed cooler. I was a little disappointed in the variety of vegetables though. Almost all the farmers were selling the same vegetables and the only fruit available was some small watermelons. I was actually shocked that there was only 1 vendor with GF bakery options and some of the baked goods had artificial food dyes 😬. Overall it was ok and we went home with veggies, sourdough, a few baked goods and a really bad Americano cup of coffee. Wouldn't come back though.”

“Absolutely way overpriced stuff. Makes no sense unless you got a lot of money to go there and spend any money. I love To support local businesses but not lose my wallet because of it.”
