Forsyth Farmers’ Market is thrilled to partner with Farm Hospitality Group to present the inaugural Chefs + Farmers: A Culinary Experience dining event at Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, located at 41 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., on Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m. All proceeds will support Forsyth Farmers’ Market programs benefiting area farmers as well as the local community.

 Attendees are warmly invited to sample seasonal dishes made with fresh, local ingredients prepared by more than a dozen prominent chefs from top local restaurants, including Common Thread, Strangebird, FARM Bluffton, Cotton and Rye, Husk, Pizzeria Vittoria and others. Guests will also enjoy expertly crafted cocktails and live music and will have the opportunity to explore the gardens surrounding Ships of the Sea’s historic William Scarbrough House, a c. 1819 Greek Revival treasure that was originally designed by acclaimed architect William Jay.

“We’re deeply honored to collaborate with Farm Hospitality Group and other celebrated local chefs to present this exciting culinary event,” said Debi Fowler, Executive Director of Forsyth Farmers’ Market. “We are delighted to welcome teams of talented chefs from top area restaurants who are passionate about using locally grown produce and products. We are especially grateful to Farm Hospitality Group for partnering with us on this important fundraising event, which will give our community the opportunity to learn more about how they can support local farmers while sampling beautifully prepared dishes.”

Forsyth Farmers’ Market is a Savannah-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local growers, producers and consumers, especially those with low-access to fresh, affordable food.

This is a not-to-be-missed event this Spring.”
