The Athens Farmers Market’s largest event and fundraiser of the year is returning for the first time in three years on Sunday, October 9th. Hosted at The Hill, 1800 Crescent Lane, this event celebrates the bounty of the autumn season and the resilience of Athens’ local food system. Funds from this event support the Athens Farmers Market’s food access programs, such as FARMRx and SNAP Doubling, as well as the community elements like live music, kids' activities, and market events. Supporting this cause, over 20 Athens chefs, farmers, mixologists, and food providers join together for a unique experience that offers a true taste of the Athens food scene. 

We are delighted to welcome Will Sellers of Wholesome Wave Georgia as our guest emcee for the evening, along with live jazz with Swing Theory and a silent auction. Food provided by Puma Yu's, The National, Taqueria del Sol, Ceylon Snack Hut, Tamez BBQ, Slater's Steakhouse, The Globe, Pretty Boy, Epting Events, ZZ and Simon’s, Viva!, Seabear, Independent Baking, Heirloom, Piedmont Provisions, Figment Brewing, Condor Chocolate, and Bear Hug Honey. Drinks are provided by The Lark, Puma Yu’s Hilo, the National, and Creature Comforts. 

“The Autumn Harvest Feast is an opportunity for us to celebrate those in our community who provide us with amazing fresh produce and meat, well-crafted meals, and the support to allow us to continue living and thriving together.” Says Abigail Darwin, the manager of the Athens Farmers Market. “We create a lasting connection to one another through food and we welcome the chance to bring our community together at the dinner table to share stories, experiences, belly laughs, and true joy.” Tickets are on sale now at athensfarmersmarket.net.
