We're excited to be back to normal hours this Friday (3–6pm), and we have a full lineup of local goodness to help you enjoy a delicious Father's Day weekend + beyond!
A few things to note this week:
- Last call for strawberries! Weather shortened the season a bit, and Troy has just a bit left. But blueberries 🫐 and cherries have arrived! Cherry season will be limited due to weather conditions while ripening, so enjoy them while you can. 🍒
- Nutty Novelties is back this week.
- Don't miss stocking up with monthly producers Aaji's + Sundry Mornings!
- Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) + Senior FMNP checks are accepted June–Nov by our PA-based produce farms: Full Table, Rex Farms Orchard, and Swallow Hill.
- Preorders are always welcome with producers who offer the option. It's an easy way to secure what you need for the week, especially if you have limited time to shop!
We'll be there rain-or-shine ☔️-or-☀️, but in case extreme weather conditions pop up, please check Facebook or Instagram for updates.
Find us every Friday at 600 S Broad St with plenty of free parking on site! 🙌

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!
Market closes at 6pm May–October.
Location & Parking
Find us in the south end of the parking lot at 600 S. Broad St, Kennett Square, PA.

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 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!
