The West Chester Farmers Market finishes its outdoor season at MidPointe Library this month and moves indoors to the VOA Lodge at VOA MetroPark in November.

Through October, the market runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, in the MidPointe Library West Chester parking lot at 9363 Centre Pointe Drive. Starting in November, it shifts to 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays inside the VOA Lodge at 7850 VOA Park Drive, according to the West Chester Township market page. The indoor season runs through March.

All vendors grow or produce what they sell. The market also hosts a Holiday Market between Thanksgiving and Christmas at the Muhlhauser Barn.

The vendor roster is full for the 2026–2027 season. Prospective vendors can apply in January 2027 for the next cycle.

Specific weekly dates are posted on the township's online event calendar at westchesteroh.org. Residents can also sign up for free email reminders through the West Chester Township electronic newsletter.
