Forsyth Farmers Market



There's something to ponder...


While at the farmers' market, we had the good fortune of meeting the founder and a farmer with SAAFON, The Southeastern African-American Farmers Organic Network. Farmer Monts grows beautiful and delicious fruit organically. He drives from FL to Savannah each weekend to participate in the market. Remember, when you buy organic produce locally, you're supporting small farmers allowing them to continue growing organically without big business regulations and restrictions.


Pictured here is a proud Farmer Monts in the center, his mother seated in front of him, a friend to his left and Ms. Cynthia Hayes, founder of SAAFON to his right. Below are just a few fruits of his labor.
