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 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...
Parking
​
Metered parking is available on both Hanover and High Streets. There is also a metered lot beside the Post Office on West Louther St., which is free after 4pm. Additionally, there is a parking garage located on Pomfret Street, which is less than a five-minute walk from the market. For information on the Borough's new kiosk payment system for metered parking and more , check out this guide from our partners at the Downtown Carlisle Association.
Hours and Location
​
FOTS is held every Wednesday at the corner of Hanover and High Streets in the heart of Carlisle, PA, on the sidewalk and the grounds of the First Presbyterian Church of Carlisle. From mid-March when Daylight Savings Time ends, through November, the market runs from 3- 7pm, and shortens to 3-6pm from November to March
​
FOTS remains outside all winter, only taking a break between Christmas and New Years (so, no market from December 25 to January 1). You can find us every Wednesday on the Square!
