The West Broad Market Garden was founded in 2012 when the Athens Land Trust and a group of neighborhood volunteers reclaimed the parking lot of a closed public school and turned the space into productive agriculture.
The plot at 1573 W. Broad St. is now a 1/2-acre production oriented, Certified Naturally Grown urban farm that uses biointensive growing methods to support a weekly farmers market. The market is open May-December on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition to seasonal produce, the market offers baked goods, local art, live music, nutrition education, gardening workshops and health screenings.
