Introducing the Forsyth Farmer's Almanac
The Mixed Greens, a group of Savannah community members that work to create and support interactive, educational and inclusive activities with the Forsyth Farmers' Market as a part of a Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities' (GCDD) Real Communities project, presents the Forsyth Farmers' Almanac, a collection of intergenerational farm stories.
Inspired by stories of local elder residents and Forsyth Farmers' Market vendors, the Forsyth Farmers' Almanac is a collection of photography and stories from past, present and future farmers on their experiences growing up, growing food.
The Mixed Greens worked collectively to capture these unique perspectives on food and share them with the community in an art exhibit at the Sentient Bean, a coffee shop in Savannah, GA that uses local food sources, throughout the month of November. Originally intended as a one-time project, the Forsyth Farmers' Almanac compiled such a wealth of interesting stories, recipes, growing tips and moments, that the Mixed Greens decided to begin an ongoing almanac and continue the project.
