We hope each of you continues to be healthy at home, enjoying these beautiful spring days outdoors when you can.
This Friday (4/10), we are once again offering the "market" through a PREORDER / PREPAY ONLY system with
timed pickup
in the
Kennett Library
parking lot.
Please read through all of the information below if you wish to place orders for pickup—
some deadlines have changed
to help producers manage increased demand.
Any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the Market Manager by replying to this email.
In addition to continuing to practice social distancing, wearing gloves, and sanitizing,
we will be wearing face coverings this week
per the recommendations, and we would appreciate customers doing the same. There are many individuals in the community making fabric masks, so if you need help getting one, let us know.
Let's keep each other healthy, so we can continue to bring you local goodness as we get closer to the weekly, more abundant market season!

PREORDER INSTRUCTIONS:
Only the regular vendors listed below these instructions are offering pickup for PREORDERS in Kennett Square
THIS FRIDAY 4/10
.
- Place your preorders with each vendor as indicated below.
- Note order deadlines for each vendor!
- There will be no extra to purchase on site—you MUST pre-order!
- All orders must be prepaid—no payment will be accepted on site in order to eliminate that point of contact.
PICKUP INSTRUCTIONS:
Please help us in making this work as smoothly as possible by cooperating with the timed pickup schedule and instructions. This will allow us to maintain safe distance while getting everyone in and out quickly.
TIMED PICKUP:
- Does your last name start with A–M? >> Pickup from 3–4pm.
- Does your last name start with N–Z? >> Pickup from 4–5pm.
- Individual vendors may provide customers with more detailed time instructions as necessary, so watch for emails from them.
LOCATION:
- Pickup location is different than our normal market space, as this is not a normal market day—it is simply a pickup for pre-orders only.
- Pickup location is the parking lot just behind the Kennett Library (GPS: 108 Church Alley, Kennett Square, PA 19348)
WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
- Please park anywhere in the open section of the lot or walk down from parking on State St (maintaining 6' from others along the way!)
- The vendor section will be roped off to limit the number of customers at once, and we will instruct you on when to enter in order to manage safe distancing.
- If there is a line to enter, please be patient and keep 6' between each other (we will provide queues to help.)
ACTUAL PICKUP:
- Approach the vendor table & provide your name from the 6' distance marked.
- The vendor will grab your pre-bagged order, and place it on the table.
- Allow them a moment to back up.
- Grab your bag & GO (home!)
- As much as we want to, please do not linger to chat.
- Vendors will practice safe handling on their side with sanitizer & gloves.
