Farmers on the Square: Where Fresh Food & Community Go Hand-in-Hand!
Picture this: You’re strolling through historic downtown Carlisle, a coffee in one hand and a bag of just-picked produce in the other, while live music fills the air and your kids are only mildly trying to escape toward the nearest bakery stand. Welcome to Farmers on the Square, the weekly, year-round farmers market that makes eating local as easy as loving carbs.
This isn’t just any farmers market—it’s a hyper-local, community-driven food paradise where every vendor is within 50 miles, and every product is made with care. Whether you’re grabbing farm-fresh eggs, just-baked bread, or handmade goodies, you can trust that it’s all coming straight from passionate local farmers and artisans. Bonus? You don’t need a small fortune to shop here—thanks to the Fresh Match Program, families using SNAP, WIC, or FMNP benefits get extra funds to spend on healthy, local food.
And let’s not forget the live music in the summer (hello, free entertainment for the kids) and educational guests who make nutrition and agriculture fun. (Yes, even for kids who think pizza is a food group.) So, grab your reusable bags, round up the family, and get ready for a market day filled with good food, good vibes, and maybe—just maybe—a veggie or two that your kids won’t protest eating.
