If you like fresh produce then you might want to come by the Gettysburg Farmer’s Market. Right on the square from 7 a.m. to noon from April through October, local farmers offer their fresh cut flowers, fruit, baked breads, and other locally farmed goods. This is not pesticide-drenched supermarket stuff. This is real, fresh out-of-the-garden fruits and vegetables.

But it’s about more than just getting good food. It’s also about good fellowship. Locals show up to socialize and commune with the neighbors over a cup of coffee and enjoy the quiet conversation among friends. If you like that too then the Gettysburg Farmer’s Market might be for you. They do accept visitors.

Among the many awesome goods you’ll find in the square at the farmer’s market in Gettysburg are:

  • Fresh red apples
  • Asparagus
  • Beets (and this beet season, by the way)
  • Carrots
  • Cucumbers
  • Eggplant
  • Green beans
  • Nectarines
  • Onions
  • Peaches and pears
  • Potatoes
  • Radishes
  • Raspberries (from June through August)
  • Sour cherries in July
  • Strawberries (you better hurry for the biggest and the best!)
  • Sweet cherries (now in)
  • Tomatoes
  • Turnips
  • And a whole lot more

This is just a small sampling of the foods and stuff you’ll find at the Gettysburg Farmer’s Market. Available of these items is based on the season, the vendors, and whether or not someone beat you to it! Hope to see you there on the square.
