We are extremely appreciative of those who were able to get out in the cold rain last week to shop for the first market of of the spring/summer season. THANK YOU for your support, rain-or-shine!
There is chance of spring showers this Friday, but thankfully it will be much warmer than last week. It looks like warmer temperatures are finally going to stick around, which means we can look forward to faster growth of the abundant produce, plants and flowers to come!
Keep reading for who and what you'll find at market THIS Friday, along with how to preorder.
As always, we look forward to celebrating local goodness with you all on Friday from 3–6 PM at The Creamery!

For those new to shopping KSQ: Our market lineup varies a bit week to week. The newsletter lists only those scheduled to be at market the week it is sent, and each listing below notes whether that producer attends every Friday, bi-weekly, or once a month. Plan to shop each week for the most variety!
(We are still in the process of updating the website to list all vendors and their schedules for 2022.)

Rain or Shine!
We're committed to being a rain or shine market! If there are any changes due to extreme winter conditions with ice or snow, we will provide updates via email and social media. Check Facebook & Instagram if you're uncertain on market day.
Location & Parking
Find us in the parking area of The Creamery of Kennett Square @ 401 Birch St. The Creamery is open for drinks & food at 4pm on Fridays.
FREE PARKING is available on the WEST side of 226 East Birch St (across the street from Braeloch Brewing) or at the office adjacent to The Creamery. We encourage you to use the lots versus the street to be respectful to residents on Birch.
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!)
- Masks are not required for vendors or guests, but please wear one as you as you feel most comfortable.
- Well-behaved pups on leash are welcome at market.
- Feel free to use the red carts at market entry to help carry your load as you shop — just return to that location when done!
