That’s right as of Saturday, April 2nd, the market returns!  This year the market will run from April 2nd to November 19th.  It’s operating hours are from 9am to 1pm and is located at the SOUTH end of Forsyth Park in Savannah, Ga.

The Forsyth Farmers’ Market is brought to you by the Savannah Local Food Collaborative.  They are a small group of local citizens involved in various ways with the local food system. They came together in part as a result of the Mayor’s Healthy Savannah Initiative. The group’s mission is to make fresh, healthy food easily accessible to the citizens of Savannah in order to improve the health of Savannah’s citizens and support small farmers in our region.

At the market you can find of course delectable fruits and veggies but also grass fed beef, poultry, pork, dairy and eggs, breads, pastas and sauces, herbs, cakes and pies, plants and at times shrimp.  And all this is of course brought to you by local/regional farmers and is sold by the farmers themselves.  So, come on out, bring the family and have a chat with the amazing people that grow/raise your food and get the best quality yummies you can get in town.
