This blows away any other farmer's markets in the state. The selection is vast, the people are friendly, and the food is exceptional. I always hit the market when I'm in Athens on a Saturday, and if I lived as close as Columbus, I'd honestly go at least monthly in peak season. The quality of the local food is just that good. Parking is free and ample. I also love the mix of students, hippies, and old-fashioned farmers running the stands. Several stands have excellent prepared foods and coffee, so you can go hungry and sate yourself while shopping. Finally, there always seems to be great live music, which really is gilding the lily. One of many things that makes Athens wonderful.

I live in Columbus but I still rate the Athens Farmer's Market as the BEST market in Ohio! I have been to Worthington Farmer's Market, North Market, Bexley Market in the Columbus area and I still would pick Athens in a heartbeat! First and foremost quality of goods and secondly the friendly people that you interact with!
Be prepared to see guitar players, singers, milling college students, hippies, professors (if you skip classes be on the lookout, have ran into one back in college, oops). -

My mom has been going to this for several months. Initially I was completely sold by the amazing fresh greens and bread that she brought back. To add to the actual products that are sold, the people are very friendly and often more than willing to give their advice on preparing their product. I only wish more farmers markets had the quality of goods as this one does.
Definitely worth checking out, even if you have to drive an hour to do so. -

This is the best farmer's market I've been to in Ohio. You can find any local produce you're looking for and even some local meats. I love to come to the market on Saturday mornings and get my weeks worth of fruits and vegetables. The hard part is figuring out what to do with it all.
Here are the hours of the market

This is perhaps one of the most "commercial" farmers markets I have ever been to. Be prepared to negotiate or walk away as I have been given a checkout price about $6 more than what was listed or stated.
Good for certain items at certain times. Always beware for the marked price.
