 The Market at Trustees’ Garden

December 2, 2009

Dear Vendors and Customers:

After a good, long run, we are temporarily suspending The Market at Trustees’ Garden until spring of 2010.

The Market began as an experiment — to test the waters with regional farmers and consumers who craved freshly picked, organic produce and who loved the idea of a locally-based marketplace offering high quality and unique wares.

Along the way, we’ve learned much, and we’ve also been confronted with questions for which we have no broad-stroke answers.

Is this the right day? Is it the right time? Is this the market that consumers expect? Is it in the right part of town?

During this hiatus, those are the questions we are going to attempt to match up with answers. We’re going to research similar sized markets and seek answers. We’re going to survey vendors and consumers. We will attempt to think as profoundly as we can and dig as deeply as we can in our search for the right answers.

Of course, you don’t have to wait for us to ask. We value your support — and appreciate the passion and support you’ve shown to The Market at Trustees’ Garden. When we finish this process, we anticipate having a new foundation upon which to build our New Market at Trustees’ Garden.

Please feel free to drop us a line or give us a call with any ideas and suggestions you have. Let’s all hope that together we can find a way to create  a more robust offering of unique products and items that are not easily found or even available  in the Savannah area.

Sincerely,

Charles H. Morris, owner and operator
