Athens Locally Grown Closed This Week!

Hello! This is just a reminder that Athens Locally Grown is taking the week off so our growers and you can enjoy our Independence Day with family and community.

You don’t need to go without locally grown food, though! Assert your independence from the industrial food system by shopping at our area’s other farmers markets. The Athens Farmers Market is open on Saturday mornings at Bishop Park and Wednesday evenings downtown (see their website for info). The BRoad Street Farmers market is open Tuesday afternoons as well as the first Saturday of the month (see their website for info). The Oconee Farmers Market is now open on Tuesdays 4-7pm on Main Street next to the First Christian Church along with their Saturday hours of 8am-1pm in front of the Court House in Watkinsville. The Washington-Wilkes Farmer’s Market in Washington is open every Saturday 9-12 behind the Washington Courthouse. The Royston Farmers market is Thursday mornings downtown.

Many of the ALG vendors sell at multiple markets, so you can find plenty of good food at these and other area markets while we take the week off. Have a happy Fourth!
