Forsyth Farmers' Market
FarmersForsyth Farmers' Market in Savannah is a producer-only market — all vendors must grow or produce what they sell. The market maintains a 60/40 split favoring farm product vendors (produce, plants, eggs, honey, meat, seafood) over prepared food vendors (baked goods, cheese, preserved goods, cooked items). Farm product vendors must grow or harvest 75% of their offerings; prepared food vendors must produce 100%. All vendors must comply with Georgia food safety rules, licensing, and sales tax requirements. The Vendor Committee reviews applications carefully — limited booth space means not every applicant is accommodated.
