Hi Everybody,

The Carlisle Farmers Market begins in FOUR WEEKS! Starting on Saturday, May 30 and running through October 24, 2026 (21 Weeks Total!)

Many of US are just coming off the heels of OUR 3nd Winter-Indoor Carlisle Farmers Market. A BIG Thank YOU to Joanne Mendenhall for running the Market and ALL YOU wonderful vendors who participated! WE setup in a new venue and it worked out great!

WE will pretty much have the same rules and regulations as last season (see attachment). The market will run from 8:30-11:30 AM Saturday mornings located at Wyckoff Heating & Cooling here in Carlisle at 95 Highway 5. The Market Fee will be $5 each day you set-up OR $85, if YOU want to pay ahead for the whole season. Market insurance will again cost $400.00 this year, thus the reasoning for OUR market fee.

2025 Highlights: WE had an average of 22 vendors per market and 3,632 customers checked us out-give or take a few. The FOOD TRUCKS, again, truly helped in bringing in the customers, and as always, they are a wonderful addition to OUR Market! Our wonderful regular vendors were back with new vendors, too. There were 21 consecutive markets with a Kids Day at the Market, Christmas in July with a real live Santa, Give-A-Ways; National Farmers Market Day, and Customer Appreciation Day, too. WE participated with the Carlisle Alumnae Association for Carlisle Pickers/Car Show/Farmers Market all-inone and the Carlisle Chamber of Commerce’s PumpkinFest to close out OUR season. WE had music & live music, most week’s, a Kid’s Corner of activities each week, and a canopy for guests to sit under to chat, eat and enjoy when the weather permitted! AND, for the first time, WE participated in the rebirth of the Chamber’s “Light Up Carlisle” in December, that turned out absolutely, wonderful!

2026 Plans: WE have many more new vendors interested in OUR market! Yay & Welcome all! We will be continuing all activities as last year, and possibly add new events like Cribbage games, more Scavenger Hunts and any other things to bring people into OUR Market! Do YOU have any ideas? Please share!

So, let us know YOUR plans of vending and attending this year OR if YOU would like your name removed from OUR list! Please let us know either way YOU’re thinking! We’re working on cleaning up the email list and YOUR help is greatly appreciated! Also, if YOU will be vending with US, please fill out and return the YEARLY Vendor Waiver Form (coming soon). See attached list of those who have already let us know their intentions! If YOUR name is not on the list and you have responded please forgive and let us know ASAP! Thank YOU all in advance!!!

Then what? Please spread the word about OUR market, and get ready for Saturday, May 30th!!!
