Your Local Farmers, Your Local Community
North Square Farmers Market is a subcommittee of the Downtown Business Council of Chambersburg, Inc., a non-profit organization serving to support and revitalize Chambersburg’s downtown community. Buying local supports your local farmers and your local economy (among other things). It also guarantees that you’re getting the freshest, best-tasting and most nutritious foods.

Joining North Square Farmers Market
Information for Farmers, Artists, and Potential Vendors interested in our market.
North Square Farmers Market, established in its present location in 2008, was started as a collaboration between farmers, community-minded business people, and dedicated volunteers. It was the fruition of a dream–to create a place where local farmers could gather to market their products and Chambersburg’s community could gather to buy fresh, local produce.
It was decided that ‘local’ meant that vendors would not be living, growing, or producing any further than 50 miles from downtown Chambersburg. We didn’t want our market community to have to question where the produce is grown or if it’s been “trucked in.” For the farmers, it means that there is never any competition with produce grown out-of-state or out-of-country.
It was also planned that this market would be a place for social gatherings; a place where friends gather on Saturday mornings to visit while doing their weekly shopping.
Though we are successfully offering superior quality local foods, artisan crafts, weekly live music and children’s activities–we are continuing to grow our market!
Would you like to join our market?
If so, take a look at our vendor documents. Please read carefully through the market guidelines before filling out your application.
We are governed by a committee that reserves the right to act on behalf of the good of the market. Most staff work is done by volunteers. If you're interested in joining the market as a vendor or volunteer, please contact us.
