The Adams County Farmers Market will open its 2024 season this Saturday, April 27, at the Gettysburg Rec Park, 545 Long Lane in Gettysburg. The market, a staple of local agriculture and community bonding, will operate from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through October.
Celebrated for its commitment to providing fresh and nutritious food, the market serves as a vital link between consumers and local farmers. Beyond offering farm-fresh produce, the market fosters an inclusive community space where visitors can discover a variety of regionally produced goods, from homemade crafts to artisan foods.
The market also plays a crucial role as a small business incubator and a community resource, helping to improve food access across Adams County. It supports various food assistance programs, making it easier for income-eligible families to enjoy fresh, healthy food.
As stated in its mission, the Adams County Farmers Market Association focuses on enhancing the community’s connection to agriculture, supporting the local economy, and promoting environmental sustainability.
