Since 1985, The Claremont Forum has been a gathering place for the things that matter most - good food, great books, and a community that looks out for one another.

We serve the Claremont community through our Sunday Farmers & Artisans Market, our Bookshop in the Claremont Packing House, and the Prison Library Project — a national program delivering books and educational materials to incarcerated readers across the country.

The Claremont Forum

Books. Food. Community.

Farmers & Artisans Market

A market with a mission. Every Sunday from 8 AM to 1 PM in Claremont Village, you'll find fresh produce, local farms, and handcrafted goods — and every purchase helps fund the Prison Library Project.

Prison Library Project

Every week, more than 500 letters arrive at our Claremont bookshop from incarcerated readers across the country — each one a request for a book. The Prison Library Project has been answering those letters since 1973.
