Athens Farmers Market Brings Fresh Food, Community to Creature Comforts

Every Wednesday evening, Creature Comforts transforms into a vibrant hub of local food, community connection and healthy living.

The Athens Farmers Market isn’t just about produce, but about people too. Iwalani Falfour, owner and manager at Farm Cart, shares insights on sourcing local ingredients and building relationships with customers and Maya Alandete explains how FARM Rx is helping connect food-insecure individuals with fresh, nutritious options through a produce prescription program.

Together, they show how local efforts are creating healthier, more connected communities, one market at a time.
