The Fresh Market is a combination farmer's market located in the heart of Hershey, Pennsylvania. You'll find it at the Hershey Towne Square. There's free parking in the parking garage. You will then enter the building. The Fresh Market is on the bottom floor. The second floor houses a small food court along with other businesses on the second and third floors.
Inside the Fresh Market you'll find a wide variety of local vendors. You can shop for fresh meat and cheeses, fresh produce, bakery items (regular and gluten-free), candy and chocolates, honey, gourmet olive oils and vinegars, handmade paper art products (greeting cards, stationary, artwork, etc.), all kinds of different nuts, items for your dogs, etc.
On the day that we visited we picked up two bags of chocolate covered pretzels and a bag of sesame sticks from Weaver Nuts, Sweets and Snacks. They're prices are really good for delicious sweet treats!!! I picked up 2 packs of cheese and some meat along with a few cupcakes from the one bakery for the grandkids. Oh, we couldn't forget our grand-dog so we did pick up some homemade dog treats too!
We visited the Fresh Market on a Friday afternoon and they weren't crowded at all. We were able to take our leisurely time through the farmer's market. This is an indoor market with over 40 locally-owned small businesses. They're open year-round but only on certain days of the week. You'll want to visit their website for their hours of operation.
To see everything that the Fresh Market and the Food Court has to offer you'll want to check out their vendor listings before you go. Looking to become a vendor? You can read their requirments and fill out the application right on the Fresh Market's website.
