Farmers’ Market
Beginning May 19, the Bethlehem Farmers’ Market will be back at Campus Square at Lehigh University to offer fresh produce, prepared meals, baked goods and more to Bethlehem and Lehigh Valley residents! The 2011 Bethlehem Farmers’ Market will run Thursdays, starting May 19, from 11am to 3pm at Campus Square at New and Morton Streets in South Bethlehem.
This year’s market will offer something for everyone amongst our usual wide variety of products, as well as new vendors KYork Moor Farm (fresh eggs and produce) and Around the World in 80 Cakes. Returning vendors are Easton Salsa Co., The Popcorn Pit, A Natural Alternative (soaps and toiletries), Back Door Bakeshop, Humdinger Alpacas (wool products), Tasty Pastry, Lettuce Alone Farm (produce), Bechdolt Orchards (produce) and The Flour Shop Bakery.
Each Thursday will feature a musical performance at Campus Square to enhance the shopping experience. Past favorites including Dave Fry, Dina Hall, Billy Bauer and Scott McKenna will perform, as well as new additions Brittany Traunbaugh, Twokulele and Lehigh University’s a capella group, A Whole Step Up.
The market, which will run until October 27, 2011, provides a unique shopping opportunity unequal to what customers typically find at a grocery store. At the Bethlehem Farmers’ Market, customers can sample the goods, develop relationships with the vendors, learn about unique food varieties and cooking tips and also greet their neighbors. The market supports farming and business in the Lehigh Valley and serves both the local and Lehigh University communities.

In late August 2002, The Cup, also known as the Bethlehem Dairy Store, opened its second location in the Campus Square retail area. The original Bethlehem Dairy Store on Linden Street in North Bethlehem has been a favorite of area families looking to enjoy many flavors of homemade ice cream for over 85 years.
With four convenient locations in Bethlehem, Johnny’s Bagels is a great place for breakfast and lunch. We offer the freshest bagels, hand-rolled and prepared in the old-style tradition.
