Savannah State Farmers Market

No farmers are at the "farmers market"

Great

Stopping in at Savannah State Farmers Market at about 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning, my daughter and I found only two open market vendors. We stopped at Stokes Produce as this stand seemed to have more variety. The other vendor was several hundred yards away at the opposite end of the market. We purchased Georgia peaches, sugar plums, a seedless watermelon and freshly fried BBQ pork rinds. A $21.00 purchase that they reduced to $20.00 upon request. Stokes Produce had a few dozen fruit and vegetables to choose from, boiled peanuts, hibiscus bushes and even sod for your lawn. When choosing a watermelon, the young lady working that stand taught me how to knock and what to listen for when picking a fresh melon. Georgia peaches and sugar plums were fresh and juicy. My daughter and I ate most of them on the drive home to Florida. She didn't care for the pork rinds, but I found them fresh and tasty. We haven't eaten the watermelon yet, so I cannot report on that. Polite and friendly staff - they answered all of my questions. A decent experience, but I expected more vendors. William E. Lewis Jr. Vero Beach, Florida.

I was sad that I could not make it to the farmers market on the weekend, assuming it would be much busier than the week day. I stopped by before getting on my flight home. There was only one vendor open with a very limited supply of fruits and veggies. I bought about $20 worth of delicious fruits before leaving.

drove 20 minutes to get here, not open and looked deserted although it said it would be open.
