North Square Farmers Market

North Square Farmers Market ties its downtown presence to the Downtown Business Council of Chambersburg, Inc., linking Saturday shopping with a Chambersburg organization that helped launch the market. The market runs on Saturdays from late May to mid-November and frames itself around “local, delicious, healthy,” which fits a vendor mix spanning produce, meats, baked goods, flowers, soaps, fiber, and prepared food. In one stop on North Main Street, shoppers can move from chemical-free vegetables and gourmet mushrooms to grilled jerk chicken, alpaca fiber wearables, and student art.

Why it matters locally

The market’s organizer is the Downtown Business Council of Chambersburg, Inc., giving North Square Farmers Market a direct connection to downtown Chambersburg rather than a stand-alone event. Its vendor roster also stays closely tied to nearby food production and small-scale making: Foot of the Mountain Farm grows chemical-free produce on a one-acre micro-farm in Concord, Pennsylvania, while Freedom Microgreens operates an indoor microgreens farm in Chambersburg. Grace’s Family Farm, established in 1991, brings locally grown pork, beef, chicken, goat, and sheep, and Riley Family Farm adds pasture- and forest-raised poultry, pork, and beef plus eggs. The market also relies on volunteers for Saturday setup and teardown, with named thanks to Jay Eury, Penny, Guy Shaul, and Corrine Haupt.

What you'll find there

North Square’s mix leans broad without losing its farm base: fresh produce, eggs, meats, breads, flowers, and mushrooms share space with prepared foods, body care, fine art, and practical handmade goods. That makes it a market where a grocery run can easily turn into a breakfast stop or a gift-buying pass.

The market also offers a weekly “Who’s at market?” update, and Old Market Day and Applefest affect setup and teardown timing.

Know before you go

No dogs and no restrooms are the two details most likely to shape a Saturday visit. If you are planning around setup or volunteering, setup starts at 7 a.m. and teardown begins at noon, with Old Market Day and Applefest running later for those logistics. The market sits at 50 North Main Street in Chambersburg, which places it directly in the downtown street grid rather than at a rural fairground or separate pavilion. For regular shoppers, the weekly “Who’s at market?” update is part of how the market shares who will be there each week.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at North Square Farmers Market, an important option for shoppers planning to use food assistance benefits on market purchases. The market also presents payment information clearly for visitors, which helps when you are deciding how to pay across different vendors.
