Saturdays,  9:00am until 1:00pm

January - December

Open virtually year around. 

 

Features

Savannah's food-only, producer-only market where ~30 vendors on a given Saturday offer fresh produce, pastured meats, local honey, artisan dairy and cheeses, craft breads and baked goods and a wide variety of prepared foods. All vendors come within a 200 mile radius of Savannah. Read about our vendors here.

Growing Beans at Home: When to plant: Beans are a warm weather crop, so be sure to plant once the possibility of frost has ended (any time after early spring). What you’ll need: Approximately 8” deep pot with drainage holes Some varieties of beans, such as pole beans, may need a support to grow on, as they grow up rather than out. This makes them a great plant for growing in pots! Potting soil. Adding some extra nutrients with compost or fertilizer is not necessary for beans, but may help. Bean seeds, some recommended varieties include: Bush Beans: Blue Lake 274, Gina, Kentucky Wonder, Roma II, Bronco Pole Beans: Blue Lake, Kentucky Wonder, Dade, Kentucky Blue How to plant and grow: Optional: soak seeds in warm water overnight, this may seeds sprout faster once planted Plant seeds in potting soil approximately 1” deep and 6” apart and water. Be sure to give your beans at least 6 hours of sunlight per day For the first week or so, keep soil moist, but not soggy then reduce watering to about once every three days. Green beans should be ready for harvest 45 to 60 days after planting! For the tastiest beans, harvest while they are not quite fully developed and continue to harvest beans as they become ready so that your plant will continue to produce more. Beans will stay fresh for several days if stored in a cool, dry location or can be canned for long-term storage!

"The Hostess City is known for its haute cuisine, but Savannah is also home to thousands who aren’t guaranteed access to nutritionally adequate foods. And the city is just one of thousands across the country battling the rapid growth of food deserts as retailers close their doors, leaving residents without viable access to fresh foods and leaving community leaders searching for answers.” According to the 2017 Health Rankings, 20% of the County’s residents are food insecure. Forsyth Farmers’ Market is committed to providing both immediate and lasting solutions to the pressing issues of food insecurity and nutrition in low-income communities.
