Location & Parking
Find us in the parking area of The Creamery of Kennett Square @ 401 Birch St. The Creamery is open starting 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: Three standard parking spaces (not ADA) in the adjacent lot are reserved for customers with limited mobility. 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 CASH as not all vendors accept cards or have a minimum for card use. (And cash is always appreciated, as the fees for card use add up for small businesses!)
- SNAP is now accepted by Flying Plow Farm.
- WIC FMNP & Senior FMNP checks are welcomed by our PA-based farms for produce purchases: Swallow Hill & Rex Farms Orchard.
- Masks are not required for vendors or guests, but please wear one as you as you feel most comfortable.
- Feel free to use the red wagons at market entry to help carry your load as you shop — just return when done!
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 at vendor tables — no jumping up, licking, or sniffing the product, please.
- We appreciate your consideration to keep all safe and happy!
