Seasonal transitions are some of the most beautiful and delicious times of year at the farmers market. As asparagus goes to seed, peas fill out their crunchy pods — this is the moment to enjoy them together in a salad, stir-fry or sauté! While we continue to savor strawberries freshly picked from the field, we await the cherries just starting to ripen on the tree. With spring moving into summer, we'll enjoy a growing variety of local flavors each week.
Come find the rhythm of eating with the seasons as you shop directly with your local farmers, bakers, and makers at market this Friday from 3-6pm.
Other bites of news:
- Remember those full Wastewell buckets... it's compost week!
- Mark your calendars now with a reminder to shop early NEXT FRIDAY (June 13) ⏰ Market hours will be 2:30-4:30 on 6/13 so we can make way for Kennett High's graduation.
- The King's will be back to market next Friday! No sweet corn yet of course – we can expect that towards the end of June or early July.
- Love the market and have some time to share? We're looking for volunteer Market Greeters + Breakdown Crew! Sign up here or stop by the Market Info tent to learn more.
As always, we're open rain-or-shine, and there's plenty of free parking on site at 600 S Broad.

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!
During the main season (May–Oct), market closes at 6 PM.
Location & Parking
Find us in the south end of the parking lot at 600 S. Broad St, Kennett Square, PA.
Plenty of FREE PARKING is available on site!
ACCESSIBILITY: There are a few parking spots near the first entry reserved for those with limited mobility. 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!)
- PA-based produce farms (Full Table, King's, Rex Farms Orchard, Swallow Hill) accept Farmers Market Nutrition Program (WIC) + Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks from June–November.
- 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 + NEW! black shopping baskets to help carry your load as you shop — just return to the Kennett Collaborative tent 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!
