I had read an article last week that there used to be a Farmers' Market in Richmond Hill that took…read moreplace at JF Gregory Park. It closed for the 2018 season and then no news of it ever reopening in 2019.

Today was the official launch! - Parking - Parking lot of Magnolia Manor. - Where - The vendors were set up on the portion of the parking lot parallel to Timber Trail. - When - May to November Third Saturday of the month 9am to 1pm Rain or shine - Who - The vendors are a mix of local farmers, home based businesses like handmade soaps, baked goods, crafts, jewelry, ceramic pottery and painter. There was even a local Boy Scouts chapter offering pretzels. Some vendors of interest: Bell Family Raw Honey - Richmond Hill Jones Creek Farm - Midway Beasley Ceramics - Richmond Hill Swallowtail Pines - Richmond Hill - fresh eggs, wool dryer balls, fresh rabbit Genesis Moon Soaps - Richmond Hill My finds: Cottage Chef - Richmond Hill - brownies were dense and moist! Carico Farms - Darien - Aquaponic and Hydroponic - bought some yellow jumbo cherry tomatoes and a live basil plant. Let's see if I can keep it alive. I've killed bamboo. I know... shhhhhhhh. Billy's Botanicals - Richmond Hill - Fresh veggies and local shrimp caught within 24 hours - Bought some edible flowers. Brothers in Farms - Eulonia - bought some mix of hydroponic greens. I was told that for next month, there will be separate sections for farmers/food vendors and crafters. Support local! It's great to see the revival of a Farmers's Market in Richmond Hill!

Stopping in at Savannah State Farmers Market at about 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning, my daughter…read moreand 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.

Previously known as Wilmington Island Farmers' Market, this year (2019) it is located on the property of Lighthouse Baptist Church (401 Quarterman Drive at the corner of Highway 80 E & Quarterman Drive​) on Talahi Island. According to their website, the hours are every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from March-June and September-December, rain or shine. Parking - There is parking on the premises. That Saturday, a few weeks ago, the info booth for IFM was located in the back to the right, if you are looking at the market from the parking lot (not sure if their location changes from week to week). They informed me of a Kids' club called "Little Sprouts Kids' Club". I got a card for each child and every time the children go to IFM, they get a little sticker (kind of like a punch card) and at the end, they get a little prize. That week's activity was making puppy collars and bones. They had a good supply of things for them to make it and my kids thoroughly enjoyed that. In general, I look for actual farmers at Farmers' Market (well how about that?). There were only a few vendors who actually sold local produce. My routine at a Farmers' Market is, walk around once and take note of the most intriguing vendors, eat prepared foods if I see something I want to try and then shop at the end. The following are the vendors I actually purchased from: Krazian - an asian fusion food truck. My kids and I shared a plate of chicken wings. Very good. La Petite Ferme Microgreens - Sweet Pea sprouts. He cuts it right there if you'd like or have some already boxed that cut at the market. Was still nice and crisp a couple of weeks later. Brothers in Farms LLC - hydroponic lettuce, both leafy lettuce and a hybrid of leafy and romaine. It actually has the root still on so if you need a little boost, dunk the root in water and put it back in the fridge. They were great with the Korean BBQ I made that night! Le Cafe Gourmet - croissant. So good! Savannah Rum Runners Bakery & Cafe - 2 cake pops (1 vanilla and 1 chocolate) and a Key Lime mini bundt cake. Cake pops were demolished in seconds by my kids on the spot. Key Lime Cake was for hubby and he thought it was way too tart. I did not purchase from these vendors, but other vendors that stood out for me were: Gruber Farms - the largest Farmer vendor there. They had quite a large selection of fruits and vegetables. It is strawberry season, so they had little baskets and big buckets for sale ($15). They had a great assortment of vegetables. T's Bees - local honey, right from Wilmington Island. Boathouse - organic soy candles and some artwork. I checked IFM's website and it seems that they have a lot of vendors than what I saw on Saturday. Maybe the vendors vary by week? I think that they have a good mix of vendors from different categories. I would definitely like to see more "Farmers" though. All in all, great place to get some local produce and a quick bite!
