Join the Market for the Children's Activity: Beef Month!

Oconee Farmers Market, Neighbor

This Saturday is June's 4th Saturday Children's Activity, and this month, the market will focus on Beef Education!

Two FFA (Future Farmers of America) students and their best cow will be at the market teaching children and other market visitors about beef with plenty of free giveaways like bumper stickers, balloons and nutritional cards. Don't miss the fun of bringing the whole family to meet a live cow and learn vital information about beef production and consumption. 

As always, the market will have live music as well as free coffee and water for guests. This week's music is provided by Art Grider. Follow this link to learn more about Art. 

The Oconee Farmers Market runs on Saturday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. in front of the Courthouse in downtown Watkinsville and on Tuesday from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday night on the lawn of the First Watkinsville Church.
