About the Market
Background
Farmers on the Square operates in downtown Carlisle, PA, and has established itself as a local hub for fresh, locally-produced goods. The market is known for its commitment to supporting vendors who live and work within a 50-mile radius of Carlisle, ensuring that the community has access to truly local products.
Practices
As a producer-only market, Farmers on the Square requires that all vendors grow, raise, or make from scratch the food they sell. This ensures that customers receive products directly from the source, fostering a direct connection between producers and consumers.
The Rest
The market is open from May to December on Wednesdays from 3pm to 7pm, and once a month indoors from January to April. Visitors can find a variety of products including BBQ chicken, handcrafted farmstead cheeses, fresh vegetables, grass-fed goat, humanely raised veal, hot sauces, fresh salsas, grass-fed beef, pastured poultry, eggs, fresh cut flowers, homemade soft pretzels, stone ground flours, artisan breads, whoopie pies, baked goods, herbs, and plants for home gardens.
