Athens —
The Athens Farmers Market will once again set up shop on Market Square this Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon.
Everything from baked goods to jellies and jams to organic homegrown products will be offered, as well as the handiwork of local artisans and much more.
Market Square is located one block northeast of the Henderson County Courthouse square in Athens (old city jail parking lot). If the market parking lot is full, additional parking is available around the courthouse square and street side. Please remember, the Farmers Market is a smoke-free environment.
