Farmers Fare, Artists Wares and Bakers Treats Create a Summer Vibe

A variety of unique vendors weaves in and out of The Market each summer in West Chester creating an ever-changing experience for shoppers.

The weekly summer Market kicks off Saturday, May 4th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of MidPointe Library West Chester, 9363 Centre Pointe Drive.

Continuously operating for at least 25 years, the local farmers market, first hosted by the Rosselot family at The Feed Barn on Cincinnati Dayton Road, moved to the Union Centre area in 2009.

The offerings of The Market change every week as seasonal produce flows through the growing season. Large local growers of produce and flowers are at The Market each week starting with cold-weather crops and through the season adding some of the best summer crops – corn, tomatoes (all sorts), peppers and so much more.

Local cottage bakers and makers offer everything from salsa to jams/jellies to breads and cookies and organic meats and poultry.

“The Market changes every week offering something special to customers,” said Monica Dexter, West Chester’s Community Outreach Coordinator. “The experience and energy is really amazing.”

Artists with handmade butcher boards, jewelry/beads, pottery and so much more also offer items for sale each week.

The Market is the ultimate showcase of small business in the community. None of the vendors has their own brick-and-mortar business, but all follow state rules for cottage industry and are committed to their dreams.

The Markets also typically feature musical performers and kids' crafts each week.
