Schuylkill County’s oldest continuous downtown open-air farm market will launch its 2018 season June 29 at the southeast corner of Main and Centre streets near the more than 100-year-old former Bolich & Burke building.
As in past years, the market will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Tuesdays and Fridays through the summer and fall.
Mark Bernardyn, who has chaired the Greater Shenandoah Area Chamber of Commerce Farm Market Committe
e for 22 years, touted the 2018 market in a press release. He thanked the community and visitors for patronizing the market, which features fruits, vegetables, plants and at times even Amish-style baked goods by local growers and sellers.

The market was started in the 1970s as the brainchild of the late chamber Director Samuel Schutawie as a way to increase pedestrian traffic downtown. Since then, the market has become a staple for local residents and visitors seeking fresh produce, plants and other items.
