We need your help to stay paywall free

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Held on the first and third Sundays of each month from April to October, the market operates from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is located behind Battleview Market at 5331 Sharpsburg Pike, providing a convenient and picturesque setting for both vendors and visitors.

The variety of vendors at the Sharpsburg Farmers Market is diverse, catering to a wide range of interests and needs. Shoppers can find fresh produce, handmade crafts, works by local authors, and even enjoy a petting zoo. This eclectic mix has contributed to the market’s growing popularity and community support.

One notable highlight occurred recently, when the market saw its largest turnout to date. The overwhelming number of visitors led to people parking on the street and walking to the market. To accommodate the crowd, organizers have now relocated vendors further back into the field, allowing for additional parking space.

This surge in attendance is a testament to the market’s increasing reputation as a vibrant community hub. The Facebook page for the Sharpsburg Farmers Market reflects this growing interest, now boasting over 1,000 followers, a number that continues to rise.
