Summer may be waning, but local summer produce certainly is not! It's truly at peak in abundance and flavor.
Our farms are harvesting an amazing variety for market each week, and they depend on us to help them lighten the load. They love knowing that their hard work is being enjoyed by those directly in their community...this is why they do what they do!
Shop in the fresh air this Friday to stock up on late summer's local bounty — so many different tomatoes, a variety of peppers, watermelons (all sizes, seedless and seeded!), cantaloupes, peaches, corn, beans...PLUS all the other goodness listed below!
See you there, Kennett Square! 3–6pm – rain or shine.

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!
- Masks are not required for vendors or guests, but please wear one as you as you feel most comfortable.
- Bring some cash as not all vendors accept cards.
- In the heat of summer, it's a good idea to throw a cooler with ice packs in the car to keep things fresh until you get home.
- Well-behaved pups on leash are welcome at market.
- We have a few carts at market entry to use as you shop, just return to that location when done!
