Forsyth Farmers’ Market
31 October 2015
9:00 am
The Forsyth
Farmers’ Market (FFM) was founded in 2009 by six women who came together with
the intention of supporting their common vision of a local food system that is
good for the health of all people and the environment. They merged with the
existing Starland market and sought permission from the city to allow a
farmers’ market in historic Forsyth Park. The first market was on May 9th,
2009. The FFM was conceived and planned to provide all members of Savannah’s
community a welcoming, inclusive place to purchase local food and address food
access issues. Despite some logistical challenges, Forsyth Park was chosen
because it is a beautiful, public place in Savannah where everyone feels
welcome. The founders made a special effort to seek out vendors from all
backgrounds and conduct outreach to a wide variety of people. FFM, Inc. is
currently in the process of applying for a 501c3 designation.
From the very
beginning, the FFM has focused on food and food issues which is why it is a
producer-only market (meaning all vendors have to be producing at least 75% of
the products they sell) and allows only food and plant vendors. The founders
also sought to address food access by opening the market with a token system
that allow shoppers to use SNAP (supplemental nutrition assistance program,
formerly known as food stamps). The FFM was one of the first independent,
farmers’ markets in the nation to institute this system. By partnering with
Wholesome Wave Georgia to double SNAP purchases and by conducting outreach to
those community members who utilize SNAP the FFM has had the second highest
SNAP sales at a farmers’ market in the state year after year.
Organizers
envision a farmers’ market that is a strong hub of community activity that
supports many aspects of a healthy local food system. To that end, there are
many ways to participate in the market besides buying and selling. The market
partners with health advocates, garden enthusiasts, community builders and a
variety of other groups. There is a designated education and outreach space at
each market. Please check out our “get involved” page to see who you can deepen
your understanding of and participation in the transformation of our food
system.
Mission
The mission of the Forsyth Farmers’ Market is to promote understanding and participation in a local food system that supports sustainable production and increases access to local products.
