ATHENS-The Athens Farmers Market is hosted by Athens Main Street at the Doug Gates Park pavilion 409 W. Green St., Athens opens the 2026 season today at 3:00PM. Cornelia Tortillas offers artisanal tortillas and chips is new to the market this year. This exciting new vendor brings authentic homemade tortillas, tortilla chips, corn flour brownies, and even tortilla warmers to the market. This business was born out of a personal search for good, clean, authentic corn tortillas for making tacos at home. When Vee (the founder) couldn’t find them, she decided to make them herself! Her top picks are the authentic corn tortillas and tortilla chips, crafted with a passion for sharing culture and bringing people together. Stop by, say hello, and taste the difference homemade makes. You can also find Cornelia Tortillas online at corneliatortillas.com
