Farmers Market Opens On April 4 In Front Of Oconee County Courthouse In Watkinsville

Oconee Farmers Market will launch its 12th season on April 4.

Vendors will assemble at 8 a.m. in front of the Courthouse in Watkinsville, selling early season produce, eggs, meats, honey, jams, and farm-related handicrafts, such as woolen products.

The market will run until 1 p.m. The 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. schedule will be maintained throughout the season, which will be for 35 Saturdays, ending on Nov. 28.

Red Oak Southern String Band, a market favorite, will perform at the opening, as it has in the past. The Watkinsville band has committed to be at six markets as the season progresses.
