ATHENS – Nothing says summer like a nice, fresh tomato sandwich.

And nothing says it better than a free tomato sandwich.

So, Athens Farmers Market is the place to be Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon for Tomato Sandwich Day.

“This is one of our most popular theme days,” said Athens Farmers Market Manager Kat Greene. “Tomatoes are in season and the Athens Farmers Market has the best in the area.”

In addition to the tomato sandwich giveaway, the Silver Silos will perform for the sixth straight year. The group takes the stage from 9-11 a.m.

It’s not just about sandwiches, either. Limestone County Master Gardeners will present children’s crafts.

For the third consecutive year, AMBL Studios is sponsoring Tomato Sandwich Day, presented by Dream Key Real Estate.

The Athens Farmers Market is an Alabama Certified Farmers Market. This means that all produce is locally and naturally grown in North Alabama or the Tennessee Valley. Prepared foods sold at the market are also locally made, as are the handcrafted goods.

The Saturday markets are open through Sept. 30 from 8 a.m. to noon. Tuesday Markets will run through Aug 29 from 3-7 p.m. Athens Farmers Market is a program of Athens Main Street.
