The Farm Market at NCC returns on Wednesday, June 4, for its 2025 season! We plan to run every Wednesday through Oct. 29.

We are located in the Quad on NCC's Bethlehem campus, 3835 Green Pond Rd. The Quad is located in the area between College Center and Kopecek Hall. Follow our signs!

PARKING: Enter campus at the Green Pond entrance, and drive straight ahead to the Student Enrollment Center. To your left you'll see a gated lot (Lot F).

Enter the lot and park. Follow the signs to our market, and ask us for a parking voucher that you can use to exit the lot.

We're pleased to bring another great assortment of local farmers and producers who will be selling at our market. The line-up will likely be different each week, so you'll want to follow our weekly alerts (above) and social posts on Facebook and Instagram.

Providing the bulk of our produce offerings will be Farmer Lauren Hahn from Hahn Acre Bushel & Bloom, located in Bath. Lauren is talented in both growing and cooking, so she'll be glad to answer your questions about both when you meet her at the market!

And Farmer Steph Beaudry of Beau Flower Farm will be sharing her beautiful blooms with us again. She'll be offering artfully-designed bouquets - so plan to treat yourself!

Also on tap: baked goods from Bub's Breads, a new SouthSide-based bake shop that we know you're going to love! Baker Michael Joyce focuses on locally-sourced grains for his tasty offerings.

You can also buy coffee beans from Monocacy Coffee, enjoy a complimentary cup of their brew, purchase honey from the East 40, and of course we'll have our community info table and good conversation to share!

Unearth the thrill and beauty of nature found in forests, rivers, your local park, and your own backyard!
