Reviews for: Athens Farmers Market

I love the fresh-from-the-garden-produce, friendly folks, beautifully made crafts, and lively music. It's a wonderful place to connect with those who strive to be healthy and buy locally.

Good people making a difference by providing great local food for good prices and it's a perfect place to socialize and hear great music as well.

High quality organic fruits and veggies. The atmosphere is beautiful - the farmers and helpers obviously take great pride in displaying their harvest!

because of the quality in a rural area, availability, support of local commerce and agricultural farmers

it is wonderful produce and supports all the people in this area.. both the producers and consumers benefit!! it's a win win situation.

It's local, beautiful spaces, beautiful people, beautiful merchandise. Great concept.

It's more than fresh produce. It brings together a group of people that I get to see every week. A whole new community! And music every week allows me to see some things I can't see at night with an infant. I look forward to it every Saturday!

Because I love knowing that not only am I supporting my local farmers, but I am able to procure the freshest, safest and not to mention most delicious food for me & my family. Oh, and it is also within walking distance from my house...

Let me count the wonderfulness:#1.. LOCALLY GROWN;#2.. sweetest tomatoes ever; #3.. great garlic, beans, okra, corn, herbs, melons, greens, ad infinitum...;#4 ..the feeling of community together as we (customers & vendors) compare cooking tips, recipes, the superiority of one bean over another for long cooking times, the weather's influence on qualiity,dearth or bounty. I look forward to my Saturday morning visits and week's marvelous meals. Thank you Athens Farmers Market !!!!!

Fresh veggie are the best around! Prices are affordable and the experience is wonderful! Great people and a great environment!

LOCAL farmers working hard to make foods readily available to the nearby communities...sustainability at it's best. Good for the environment and the soul.

Delectable food, superb live music, excellent coffee, marvelous hand-made items, and get to visit with folks I don't see very often. A lovely Saturday morning that feels like I've left the fast USA pace and am roaming around Tuscany. A veritable plethora of sensory experiences.

Lots of local, sustainable farmers, and my particular favorite loves to work to heal the land, the animals, and the earth by practicing sustainable and organic practices.

Athens Farmers Market makes for a fun and happy Saturday morning with my family. My girls love the kids area, with the facepainting and bubbles, and dancing to the live music. We nosh on banana bread, fresh fruit juice, and quiche, and we get our weekly take of local eggs and fresh bread, and whatever other goodies look delightful that day. Best part: bumping into our neighbors and friends every week!

Our community needs a farmers market. Athens Farmers Martket is fresh food, music, and crafts!

Athens Farmers Market offers a large, diverse arrangement of locally grown produce and local crafts.

So much clean & green produce, friendly vendors, GREAT food, cool crafts & jewelry...amazing local music....makes for a totally hip Saturday morning!

It's local, it's nearby, it's a terrific combination of fun and freshness, *and* all produce is both sustainably farmed and "Certified Naturaly grown". In short, it's the greenest market I know. I can even take public transportation to get there... or walk over, if I'm feeling feisty.

I'm always glad to buy local for food and other products. It's great to support the community and the people are always happy to visit.

The produce is always big and beautiful and FRESH! The homemade eats and soaps are yummy, but the best thing is the people! It's like a big family and you hug on folks all day long and have a great time visiting and connecting with each other like it should be!!

A very positive energy comes from going to the market on Saturday morning- one which motives me to leave my bed on a day I don't have to! The sense of community is very real, the food is fabulous, and it keeps the farmers working. I can't tell you how beneficial this well run market is!!!

It is fun. The produce is wonderful, great music, and multible venters. It is a joy to visit.

They do an awesome job of providing locally grown organic produce along with other products.

I look forward to my Sat. morn's at the AFM. The produce! The yummy baked goods! The fresh food! The coffee!! The Rightous Juice! The music! The jewelery! And the friendly faces I see everyweek!!

It's local. It's organic. It's consistent. It's fun. It's well-run. Did I say it's local and organic????

A great place as an art vendor! Lively, full of music, and of course great local foods. Everyone comes here to meet and greet!

They have such a great variety of produce and vendors, and everyone that participates is so friendly! They have everything including baked goods, fresh fruit, vegetables, juice, granola, eggs, herbs and more!

It is the only place to get fresh, local, and sustainably grown food! All the vendors are friendly, honest, and earnest. The market on Saturday is not just a place to buy food, it is a community event that brings people together.

Its amazing and it gets better each time i go. There is live music and all kinds of great people. Getting up early on Saturday is worth it to go to the amazing wonderful Athens farmers market. I want the best of the best and thats where i get it. I tell all my friends to go and i usually try to get a carpool going.

fresh, local, organic food that brings community together---we are blessed and so happy to have it here in Athens!!

Locally grown food tastes better and is better for you and the environment. Shopping at the Athens Farmers Market is a wonderful experience, with opportunities to talk with the growers across beautifully decorated displays while local musicians play in the background.

It's fun and friendly. The produce, food, music, and crafts are wonderful. And it is close to my house.

delicious fresh veggies grown by local farmers! relationship & community building...

Great Food, Great people, Great music, great artist.......A great way to bring the community together to do positive things for our earth, or bodies, and our economy!

Not only are the produce, breads, and other goodies fantastic - but the atmosphere is community oriented, positive, and fun...very much looking forward to the future of this great asset to Athens, GA.

It has provided an awesome way to bring the community together and make locally grown food more accessible.

everything is high quality at low prices. I just moved away and I am sad that now I have to try to find a farmer's market in the LA area that matches the service and good products that you can find at the athen's farmers market. it really embodies the spirit of athens with live music, friends and good food.

The Athens Farmers Market brings quality food directly to the people of Athens in a market that is a pleasure to attend and easy to find.

Great local produce, talented artists. The "Songbird" Handmade Soaps are the best. Wonderful atmosphere & variety.

it has friendly vendors, a great variety of fresh products and aswome energy. Great location as well!

Perfect combination of fresh local produce, accessibility to growers and excellent service.

It's a super place to shop! The people that run the market are friendly and helpful. Great stuff!!

Always something interesting and new, lovely fresh food. A place that brings people together in a positive and healthy environment

Love Athens Farmer's Market. Friendly farmers, yummy local food, great community. Simply the best!

The Athens Farmers Market was brought back to life by some tireless volunteers. It is very supportive of locally grown foods and promotes locally grown foods throughout the region.

Athens Farmers Market is the best place to take the family on a Saturday morning...great food...great music....great friends.....and the coffee and empanadas are the best in town.

Great selection of sustainably grown, local produce, fair trade coffee and locally baked goods. Vendors are friendly, live music is fantastic, layout is logical and easy, fabulous website and absolutely a one-of-a kind experience in Athens!

The Athens Farmers Market is a great opportunity to sample locally grown produce, to support local farmers, to enjoy really fresh food, and to see lots of friends from Athens too!

great organic produce, local coffee, juice, soap, deli, bakery and musicians too. it has a great vibe, i can bike there. i just love it.

cause its awesome! and i can play music there! and people are great! and it allows those of us who are more in town a close place to get good stuff!

Everyone is so willing to answer my questions about new veggies and growing my own food. I always feel welcome.

The best part of the Athens Farmers' Market is the thousand or so people who come to the market each week showing their support with their warmth and good cheer. As a grower, I can't think of a better, more appreciative crowd to turn over our veggies and flowers to.

This two year old market is already a part of Athens culture and offers great naturally grown produce, meat, eggs and prepared food. And the live music is great!

The Athens Farmers Market is the best place to be in Athens on a Saturday morning!

Athens Farmers Market is a wonderful place for local farmers, artisans, and restaurants to come together with the community. I have learned so much from talking to each person there!

Local, organic,sustainably grown, DEEEElicious and beautiful food. Great community gathering. Music, crafts, artwork, lots of non-profits, bakery goods, great coffees AND It's always packed with great people.

The Farmer's Market was a huge success from its first gathering, in its first year. There was obviously so much pent-up demand for local, fresh food in our area. The market takes place within Athens' largest municipal park, in the middle of youth sports activities, Lation soccer leagues, and summer camps. Its a true community gathering spot; the local says is that Athenians don't go to their front porch to see their neighbors, they go to the Athens Farmer's Market.

We support the Athens Farmers Market because there is beautiful produce and beautiful people.

Because its a great way to get fresh veggies and meet lots of great people who are passionate about food and making a difference!

Best and most convenient source of wonderful fresh produce. Like to support local farmers. Beats doing my own gardening.

I have an awesome experience every time I go to Athens Farmers Market! There is a wonderful selection of fresh, sustainable produce, wonderful homemade baked goods, crafts, and even live music. Everyone is so committed to local, sustainable products, which is great for the local environment and economy. It is a wonderful all-round experience and I can't wait to get home to taste the delicious food!

I support locally grown food and the people who grow it. The food tastes better and does not require much transportation to get to me.

I used to raise dairy and beef cattle in New York.I also took the time and care to plant a large veggie garden which supplied the needs of my family with surplus enough to bring to the senior citizens meals program. When I moved to Georgia I despaired of finding fresh carefully tended produce.The sellers at the Athens Farmers Market bring not only their productive care to the community but also their love of community

It's a great place to buy fresh local veggies and products while serving the vital function of building community and supporting the local economy

The amazing variety of selections both food and non food. Buying locally supports the entire community and especially local farmers and businesses.

Local agriculture/gardening has become a large part of the Athenian philosophy. Our citizens show support for local consumption from our farmers who might otherwise struggle more so in this tough economic time. Buying locally saves money, energy, and allows out community to come together. Please chose our farmers market!!!

It's the best market in the area! Lots of local farmers and businesses represented.

Great fresh, local food - both grown and prepared. Also like the music addition!

Very clean, well organized, and friendly! I am a vendor there part time and it's a wonderful market.

The Athens Farmers' Market is a great place to buy fresh local produce, coffee, and pastries and to say good morning to friends and farmers.

The friendly reception and the extraordinary service, as well as the fresh produce.

Aside from it being a reliable source of top-quality local produce, meats, dairy products, crafts, and home goods, it is just about the happiest place on earth.

This is a local market that just got started 2 years ago that is full of the best and freshest produce anywhere, The hard working participants decided to include crafts. bakeries, music and demonstrations to make this a happening experience for all ages.

Wonderful people, fabulous food, great live music, and creative crafts. A fun place to go on Saturday mornings.

Because everyone needs a place to find locally grown produce, and in Athens, this is it!

Because we gotta support local growers, and their produce is so fresh and delicious! Let's eat healthy and rich natural foods!!

it supplies us with fresh, local food and is a great place to connect with friends on a Saturday morning and supports our local growers, bakers, and artisans.

The quality of the organic produce is exellent, the atmosphere is laid back, the entertainment is always good, the coffee is organic and very good, there is a good variety of snacks to buy, the crafts are interesting, and it is FUN.

All the food has to be grown within a 100 mi radius of Athens. I have been to some large farmers markets that had veggies from all over North America. I like the fact that Athens requires 100% local content.

Amazing selection of local organic produce and wonderful crafts. Such a wonderful way to see friends and meet new people in our town - just a great way to start a weekend.

Love getting local produce/products and getting out to see neighbors on a Saturday morning.

Great way to support local businesses, get healthy food, and meet your friends on a Saturday morning. So much more than produce...everything of high quality.

It is only open on Saturday mornings in the summer and fall, but it is great fun with live music and children eating cookies and dancing. The produce is exquisite and now I believe a local organic beef grower is taking orders/and or selling his grass grown beef on the spot. There was an article in NYT Magazine about this farm and sadly I didn't go to the market today and I can't remember the name. It is located in Elberton, GA 'down the road a piece', and seems to be one of the finest cattle farms around. At any rate I love the Athens Farmers Market and think it is so important to support local growers.

The Athens Farmers Market has been an incredible coming together of townspeople, farmers, artisans, musicians: it is a fabulous community event every Saturday morning, bringing out people walking, biking, pushing baby carriages, led by dogs, visiting with each other as they snap up the kale.

Farmers are friendly and helpful with advice; has variety of fresh produce, gorgeous flowers, music, juices, baked goods, coffee, crafts, meats raised in loving homes; diverse crowd; ambiance; it's fun and THE best place to be on a Saturday morning!!

Because I like fresh and "happy" fruits and vegatables and they are good for me:-)

A growing market with excellent local produce, local food vendors and talented performers brings affordable food to residence. Its location encourages a diverse clientele. This Farmer's Market is a Winner.
