Hello OFM Family!

​

Well… Mother Nature appears to have her own plans for Saturday with a current forecast showing a 100% chance of rain ☔

BUT — as of now, the Oconee Farmers Market is still ON and we are hopeful the weather may shift a bit before Saturday morning. Georgia weather likes to keep us guessing!

 

Please continue to follow our social media pages for updates should anything change.

Beginning June 6th and continuing throughout the month of June, we are proud to partner with the Athens Area Diaper Bank for a diaper drive!

Donation bins will be placed throughout the Market to collect donations for local families in need.

More information will be coming soon, but we are excited to help support such an important community resource.

​

JUNE 6TH IS GOING TO BE HUGE!

As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday alongside Wire Park, we are planning one of our biggest and most festive Markets of the season!

✨ Planned activities and features include:
⭐ Patriotic décor throughout the Market
⭐ Vendor patriotic tent decorating contest
⭐ “Community Tree” interactive ribbon activity
⭐ Patriotic selfie station complete with backdrop, rocking chair, hay bales & selfie props
