Our Story

The Adams-Ricci Farmers Market was originally established in 2012 as Farmers on Walnut, in Camp Hill, a seasonal, producer's only farmers market. In 2015 the market relocated to Adams-Ricci Park East and was renamed Adams-Ricci Farmers Market.

 

The mission of ARFM is to provide access to fresh, local food choices, to support local farmers, to improve health & nutrition education, to serve as a community gathering place and to further the economic development of our community.

To fulfill our mission we operate a seasonal farmers market that offers fresh and nutritious meat, cheese, dairy, fruit, vegetables, bread and other items to the local community, provides access to Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits, and engages in educational activities including collaborative educational events with other local nonprofits. We encourage area nonprofits to contact the market if interested in participating in a market date or event. The Market also seeks to collaborate with East Pennsboro Township and the local small business community to create synergy and mutually beneficial economic development programs.

At ARFM you will find the seasons' best of local vegetables, fruits, pasture raised meats, poultry, eggs, honey, wines, made from scratched baked goods, homemade prepared foods and hand crafted products.

Our market is on Thursday which starts the third Thursday of May to the last Thursday in October, located at 100 East Penn Drive in the East parking lot. The market opens at 3 pm and runs to 7 pm.
