Farmers Markets near Savannah, GA

Forsyth Park Savannah

Forsyth Farmers' Market has run at the south end of Forsyth Park, Bull Street and Park Avenue, every Saturday since 2009, when six women founded it as a nonprofit. It's food-only and producer-only -- all 60-plus vendors sell what they grow or make within 200 miles of Savannah -- and it doubles SNAP/EBT dollars at the market's token table. Hours run 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., year-round, rain or shine.

Hinesville

Hinesville calls its Thursday market the Farmers & Makers Market, running 3 to 7 p.m., spring through fall, on Commerce Street downtown. Reviewers with a 4.4-star average praise the produce and the friendly vendors as much as the easy parking. Shoppers find fruit, vegetables, baked goods, prepared foods, and artisan crafts side by side. It's organized through the City of Hinesville's downtown development office, which also takes EBT and WIC.
