North Square Farmers Market

At 50 North Main Street in Chambersburg, North Square Farmers Market sets up a Saturday market centered on food, farm goods, and handmade work. The season runs from May to November, giving downtown shoppers a regular stop for produce, meats, baked goods, flowers, and prepared food in one place. The vendor roster stretches beyond standard produce tables: alongside vegetables and eggs, you’ll find mushroom growers, fiber makers working with sheep and alpaca wool, soap makers, artists, and a Jamaican jerk chicken stand. That mix makes this market useful both for stocking a kitchen and for picking up gifts or ready-to-eat breakfast and lunch items.

What you'll find there

The market’s lineup leans broad rather than narrow, with growers, meat producers, bakers, prepared-food vendors, and craft makers all represented. That means a single lap can cover groceries for the week, breakfast or lunch, and a few non-food stalls that change the feel from a produce-only market.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, so that is the detail most likely to change your plan before heading downtown. The market operates on Saturdays from 8am to 12pm during its May-to-November season, which makes it a morning stop rather than an afternoon errand. Restrooms are not available on site. If you’re planning around the vendor mix, North Square posts a weekly “Who’s at market?” update and asks prospective vendors to email first with what they want to sell and how often they hope to attend. One visitor highlighted the chemical-free food and called out the organic and Cheesetown stands as favorites.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at North Square Farmers Market, an important detail if you’re planning a produce or staples run. Payment methods are otherwise clearly presented by the market, which helps when you’re combining farm purchases with prepared food and craft booths in one trip.
