The ATxFM is a non profit organization that provides a local venue for fresh veggies, fruits, breads, & homemade crafted items. The market has been created & is run by Athens women with a passion for the community & a desire to keep the market alive!
Mission
The mission of the Athens, Tx Farmers Market is to provide children and adults in Athens and surrounding areas with locally-grown foods and farm products as well as locally handmade items. This will be accomplished by improving access to local, healthy, affordable food through a direct farm-to-consumer marketing venue that serves the diverse populations of our community. Other goals that the ATxFM strives to achieve are increased education and support of local area agriculture and artisans. The Athens, Tx Farmers Market believes that small, local farms and businesses are essential to the local economy, and is committed to making economic and educational connections between Athens area residents and its local farmers and artisans.
