Athens Singing Circle will provide the entertainment. 

As many as 10 singers will combine their voices to provide music from today and "way back when" with harmony and guitars. 

The Athens Singing Circle has been performing since 1998 at bookstores, local cafes, assisted living homes, hospitals and the Oconee Farmers Market.

Market hours are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine. Parking is behind the Courthouse.

Lattimore Luck Acres Owner Amanda Latimer says the goats on the small farm at 1540 McRee's Mill Road outside Watkinsville spend the days "grazing green pastures and eating locally grown hay," making her Artisan Goat Milk Soap an Oconee County speciality.

The hand-crafted label on Latimer Luck Acres soaps tells the real story of the Oconee Farmers Market.

"With this purchase, you are supporting our family farm," it reads.

Help keep Oconee County green. Support the local farmers and craft people who turn out each Saturday to sell their goods.

Come to the Farmers Market on Saturday and bring your friends and neighbors!
