Shirley Nice Flowers

Ateek Ranch & Duck Creek Produce
Shirley Nice Flowers has been growing flowers in Athens since 2017. Shirley Niswonger, started growing her flower garden in order to provide fresh-cut flowers for her floral designs. Trained at the New York Botanical Floral Design School, Shirley has provided exquisite floral arrangements arrangements for weddings, special events, friends and family. The idea for her garden and business grew out of her difficulty in finding fresh local flowers for her creations. As she grew weary of driving to Dallas to buy cut flowers (many of which had been damaged in shipping and many of which were more than two weeks old), she realized the solution was to “grow her own.” Shirley’s garden now produces fresh seasonal flowers to meet her design needs and allow her to provide beautiful flowers for patrons of the Athens Farmers Market community.

VJ Farms
Tindall Farms LLC
Melton Farms
VJ Farms is a multi-generation operation taking great pride in the land that was passed down from our grandparents. We are among the first licensees to grow hemp in Texas. Being a boutique hemp farm takes time and effort; our time, patience, blood, joy, sweat, and tears go into making a high quality product. We third party test our plants and products at several points in the growing cycle to ensure the quality we have become known for. We know first-hand the healing power of the hemp plant and thus hope to educate and help our fellow Texans find natural remedies for pain, sleep issues, inflammation, blood sugar, and anxiety. VJ Farms Texas wants to be your go to CBD/CBG providers! We are excited for our second Athens Farmer’s Market and we can’t wait to see our customers and friends more often!!

Tindall Farms was handed down to us during the pandemic and we were happy to bring it to the farmer's market. The blueberry bushes were planted by Chris’s grandfather, Cotten, when Chris was born, so the Highbush Rabbiteye bushes are close to 10 feet tall now at 37 years old. We have let them grow wild for at least ten years if not longer. Last year we were set back because of the snow. We are hoping for a productive season to provide blueberries, jam and syrup.

Clairmont Gardens
Clairmont Gardens
We started formulating Ed and Red farmers and studying different methods to growing gourmet mushrooms in 2019 by 2020/2021 we were growing enough to start selling 4 varieties of Oyster mushrooms. We now are perfecting Lion's mane production to our products list. We are a small operation for local restaurants and Farmer's Market consumption and wish to remain so as a semi retirement business. We still get so excited when we see the baby mushrooms flushes appear on our "bricks!" it is hard work especially with readjusting growing patterns here where we have relocated to in Henderson County but we love seeing God grow what He gas set our hands to.

Clairmont Gardens
Clairmont Gardens was born in 2009 in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. A dear friend who owned a lavender farm suggested I develop my own farm. My father-in-law gave me a small plot of land, next to his filbert orchard, to plant some Lavender starts and see if I really loved what I was doing. After some research, I choose 6 different varieties, prepared the field, lay down weed cloth and installed a dripline watering system and planted 140 plants of the 6 varieties. That is all it took, I was hooked. My first harvest was so exciting, I knew I had found what I was meant to do. In the winter of 2016 I interviewed to take over the management and care of a much larger Lavender Field from a member of the Oregon Lavender Association. In addition to my smaller field, I was caring for and harvesting an additional 2,200 plants. This was an extreme test of strength and will, but I was determined to succeed. Each year at the end of harvest I “banked” the dried buds and oils in sealed containers. The products we sell are made with those buds and oils. Both fields in Oregon were in no spray fields, so although not certified “Organic” they are a close as one can get. The bases used for the lotions and creams are formulas that are as organic a possible. My soaps are hand made by a very talented soap maker in Oregon. Now that we have transitioned to Texas, I will be planting a new field and continue the journey here.

My name is Kiley Atchley and I have a small farm/homestead. I am have a flock of chickens that are like family, we love them and they are spoiled. Our eggs are collected daily and are delicious coming from happy healthy chickens. I just recently added quail and plan to learn how to make pickled quail eggs. I also enjoy baking and love making breads and sweets. My chocolate chip cookies have always been much loved by family and friends. A recently hobby I've found myself enjoying is plants! I've fallen in love and they bring me such peace. I love taking clippings and watching them take root. I also enjoy taking multiple clippings from my plants and making frankenpots (just a mash up of different plants) and I love meeting fellow plant people!
