to bring you a year-round producer-only farmers' market to satiate your appetite - locally!  Farmers on the Square (FOTS) is a volunteer and farmer-run, seasonal market that operates in downtown Carlisle, PA.  All of our vendors live and work within 50 miles of Carlisle.  We stand by our mission of providing an opportunity for our community to access superb, regional products from a vibrant, producer-only farmers' market.

We are proud...

We're Open! 

As an essential business, Farmers on the Square continues to be open every Wednesday's providing fresh, local, and safe food to our community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

We have implemented updated market safety guidelines, including social distancing, spacing out vendors to allow for lines, providing hand sanitizer and masks. Many of our vendors offer "pre-order" and tent pickups.

 

We are working to ensure that customers have a shopping experience that is as safe as possible, and that all members of the Carlisle community can still access fresh, local food.
