Every Saturday from 9a – 1p at the south end of Forsyth Park locals can enjoy the fresh wares of a variety of farms and local food producers. There are a wide variety of regular vendors at the Forsyth Farmer’s Market, but it’s always fun to see and taste what the season brings. I recently stopped by and picked up some zipper peas, Italian artisan bread and cheese, squash, and Vidalia onions. The tomatoes and peaches were gorgeous, but my menu planning didn’t include those items for the moment. The farmers and sellers are very nice and will happily tell you about their farms and methods, how to select the right items, and will even spin a tale or two if you’ve got the time.
Whether it’s rain or shine, they’ll be there. There’s a steady crowd, chatting and checking out the organic items. I always meet interesting people. In addition to the fresh produce, local vendors who sell breads, coffees, plants, honey, and more, will be lined up to entice buyers. If you don’t need any fresh fruits or vegetables, you should visit anyway. It’s a great reason to stroll along one of Savannah’s premier green spaces.
