August continues to be incredibly bountiful and delicious — don't miss out on the best of summer fruits and vegetables being harvested directly from our local farms right now!
We have a very full variety of vendors + some special community guests this Friday as we continue our monthly Pollination Celebration Series in collaboration with the Kennett Library. This Friday, we are focusing on beneficial beetles – think fireflies, leatherwings, and lots of other flying things that don't get as much credit as they deserve! Keep reading for more details about special guests + activities.
See you at market this Friday from 3–6pm, rain or shine!

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!
- Masks are not required for vendors or guests, but please wear one as you as you feel most comfortable.
- Bring some cash as not all vendors accept cards.
- In the heat of summer, it's a good idea to throw a cooler with ice packs in the car to keep things fresh until you get home.
- Well-behaved pups on leash are welcome at market.
- We have a few carts at market entry to use as you shop, just return to that location when done!
