The market is in its seventh season with 20 producers, offering a wide variety of local and seasonal produce and products including all types of fruits and vegetables as well as bison, chicken, goats' milk cheeses, pastries, pies, breads and flowers. the market is more than just a place to buy local, high quality, organic produce; it is also a place to meet friends, neighbors and family. Each Sunday shoppers will be treated to the sounds of love music and activities, and have the opportunity to stop at one of our local community booths to get information, sign up as a volunteer, or offer other kinds of support. The mission of the market is to provide the Emmaus community with a source of safe, locally produced, highly nutritious produce while educating the public, including farmers, on the benefits of supporting local agriculture in order to preserve farmland in the surrounding area, improve individual health and strengthen community. The Friends of the Emmaus Farmers’ Market help to organize cooking demonstrations, musical performances, community organization participation, as well as coordinating advertising and promotions for the market. The Friends operate as a volunteer committee under the Emmaus Farmers’ Market, Inc., an organization that has applied for nonprofit 501c3 status.

The
Friends of the Emmaus Farmers' Market took form at a break out
session of the Emmaus Visioning Project. In 2003, the market opened
with the Emmaus Main Street Program serving as administrator,
treasurer and on-site manager. After two years, an Emmaus Farmers
Market Board of Directors was formed and by-laws written and
adopted. With much pride in the market's success, the EMSP turned
the market over to the newly developed group and the Emmaus Farms
Market grew to what we know today.
