The Lancaster Farmers Market runs for 23 weeks on Saturday mornings from May to October, plus our Harvest Market the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Each week our farmers and artisans bring a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, crafts, meat, flowers, eggs, and more.
There’s always a little something extra happening each week – we have a Community Tent where you can meet and learn more about local organizations, there are food trucks who visit, musical entertainment and kids’ activities from time to time. Check our schedule to see what fun is in store for your visit!
The market takes place rain or shine. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but should be on a leash. Parking is available on-street and in select parking lots nearby.
Most of our vendors accept credit and debit cards. Some accept Ohio Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program and WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons.
Our market also now accepts SNAP/EBT payments! Learn how you can get twice the dollar value for your SNAP purchase with Produce Perks! Visit the Market Tent for more info or to get started.
The Lancaster Farmers Market is managed by Lancaster Fresh Market, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non profit organization that also operates the Keller Market House, an indoor, year round marketplace in downtown Lancaster.
