Welcome, Fall! And welcome, RAIN! Our bodies and our fields are ready for this cooling as we send off summer with the last call for sweet corn and peaches at market this Friday.
If you missed market last week, you can still find some end-of-summer favorites while welcoming beautiful broccoli and broccolini, crisp lettuces, lots of leafy greens, gorgeous green beans, winter squash, and so much more as we return to our normal space and normal easy parking on-site this week! 🙌
A few things to note this week:
- Last chance for sweet corn + all the good things from King's! Dave is wrapping up his market season this Friday. (Reminder: Market continues year-round!)
- Hangry Bear Creamery is popping up again with some fun flavors + last call for a Kennett Brewfest coupon! More below.
- Have pawpaws piqued your curiosity? Stop by to visit Dr. Carol Marsh (yes...the retired pediatrician!) who was inspired to plant these native fruiting trees after tasting them at market many years ago! She'll have pawpaws from her farm as well as info + recipes to share.
- Don't miss once-a-month producer Kennett~B~Turned with their beautiful wood goods.
- Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) + Senior FMNP checks are welcomed by our PA-based produce farms: Full Table, King's Sweet Corn & Produce, Rex Farms Orchard, and Swallow Hill.

We open "our doors" at 3 PM, and we need every minute until then for all vendors to be fully ready. If you arrive early, please wait by the entry signage, and listen for the bell to ring to welcome you in. We truly appreciate your cooperation!
Market closes at 6pm May–October.
We are open year-round, so stay tuned for Winter Season hours!

Market Shopping Tips
- Preorders continue to be helpful for both producers & customers, so take advantage of that option as available to secure exactly what you need for the week.
- BRING CA$H as not all vendors accept cards or have a minimum for card use. (Cash is always appreciated, as the fees for card use add up for small businesses!)
- PA-based produce farms accept Farmers Market Nutrition Program (WIC) + Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks from June–November. Visit Full Table Farm, King's Sweet Corn, Rex Farms Orchard, and Swallow Hill Farm.
- BYO reusable bags to help reduce plastic waste.
- BYO cooler or insulated bag to help keep things fresh and safe on warm days as you travel.
- Feel free to use the red market wagons to help carry your load as you shop — just return when done!
- Stop by the Kennett Collaborative info tent or ask one of the vendors to point out Ros, the Market Manager, if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions!
Market Manners for Dogs
- Well-behaved pups kept on a short, non-retractable leash are welcome at market!
- Please be sure your dog is comfortable walking calmly past people and other pups of all sizes without lunging, barking, or growling. If you are unsure, please be kind to your dog and others by not bringing them to market.
- If your dog becomes stressed or uncomfortable, please quickly step out of the market area.
- Mind your dog's manners while shopping.
- We appreciate your consideration to keep all safe and happy!
