About Market Park Farmers' Market of Athens
Market Park Farmers' Market of Athens operates in Unknown, Tennessee as a dedicated space for small farms and local food businesses to sell directly to the public — no middlemen, just fresh goods.
Market Park Farmers' Market of Athens is part of a national network of farmers markets that have grown substantially over the past two decades.

Market Park Farmers' Market of Athens contributes to that network by giving Unknown-area growers and food producers a reliable, recurring venue for direct sales.
For consumers, the practical benefit of shopping at Market Park Farmers' Market of Athens is freshness.

When you spend money at Market Park Farmers' Market of Athens, most of that money stays within the Unknown area.
