Rain or Shine!
We're committed to being a rain or shine market! If there are any changes due to extreme conditions, we will provide updates via email and social media. Check Facebook & Instagram if you're uncertain on market day.
Shopping Hours
We open "our doors" at 3 PM, and we need every minute until then for all vendors to be fully ready. If you arrive before 3 PM, please wait by the entry signage, and listen for the bell to ring to welcome you in. We truly appreciate your cooperation!
We close at 5:30pm in the Winter Season. Closure time is subject to change in case of extreme conditions.
Location & Parking
Find us in the parking area of The Creamery of Kennett Square @ 401 Birch St. The Creamery opens for drinks + dining at 4pm on Fridays.
FREE PARKING is available on the WEST side of 226 Birch St (across the street from Braeloch Brewing) or at the office adjacent to The Creamery @ 455 Birch St. We encourage you to use the lots versus the street to be respectful to residents on Birch.
ACCESSIBILITY: Two designated accessible parking spaces are located at the WEST end of The Creamery building. Please note that the lot is not an entirely smooth paved surface, though it is relatively flat. If you need any assistance to shop, please let us know how we can help!
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!)
- BYO reusable bags to help reduce plastic waste.
- BYO cooler or insulated bag to help keep things fresh and safe on warm days or if you're lingering at The Creamery.
- Feel free to use the red wagons at market entry to help carry your load as you shop — just return when done!
- Stop by the Market 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 at vendor tables.
- We appreciate your consideration to keep all safe and happy!
