Make your plans and come prepared for juicy, fresh Tomato Sandwiches being served up August 13th at the Athens Saturday Market at the Limestone Co Farmers Market Pavilion 409 West Green Street Athens, AL.   

Join the Spirit of Athens from 8:00AM to 12:00PM Noon for local growers, producers and artisans and a truly special Southern Treat - Tomato Sandwiches.

This juicy, succulent snack is a staple in Southern kitchens when the bumper crops of freshly grown tomatoes arrive.  There will be disagreement on which tomato makes for the best sandwich- Big Boy, Germans, Beefmasters, or good old ugly heirlooms.  Then the mayonnaise will be another bone of contention - depending on where you grew up.  But there is one thing for sure that overpowers any disagreement - the joy you have sharing the bounty of the garden with friends and family.

Activities for the kids including information about plants and conservation.  Enjoy the samples from local growers and producers including the latest crops of peaches and watermelon.  You'll be able to stock the fridge with local meat, eggs, produce, hummus, and more in one trip.

Live musical guest will be Copeland Road, so be sure to bring a chair for the performance under the pavilion.
