Forsyth Farmers Market..

a market very unlike any I have ever visited. When I moved to Savannah, I didn't have time or energy to venture out to the Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, so it has taken me a little longer to become acquainted with this Saturday morning gem than I would have liked! It is as diverse as the locals who call Savannah home. If you are in town to visit and do not have a need for fresh fair, you should still venture over to Forsyth to catch a glimpse of some pretty top-knotch people watching. Head to Sentient Bean for fresh brewed, local coffee and pop into Brighter Day for a post-farmers market smoothie! 

I was able to venture down to Forsyth on a crisp Saturday morning in February. Being a wedding photographer, I don't often have Saturday mornings to venture around town, so it was perfect when I was asked to take photos of the farmers market in the winter! I was nervous there wouldn't be many people out because it was a bit cooler than us Savannahians prefer. Instead, I was met with a bustle of vendors, customers, kids, chickens and pups when I pulled up to Sentient Bean for a pre-farmers market coffee. 

Local vendors were as eclectic as the food they were selling.. all of their faces met me bright with smiles and welcomed my questions with open arms. The produce was a bit more expensive than I would normally pay, but I was happy to pay the extra to support local families and farms. You will see that you can also get some farm fresh eggs, honey, local chocolate, mushrooms, macaroons.. the list goes on and on! 

Luckily, for those of us who work most Saturday morning, the Forsyth Farmers Market Farm Truck 912  gets out-and-about during the week selling excess produce from Saturday's Farmers Market!
