Farmers' Markets

For the locally grown produce and the beautifully baked treats; for the hand-crafted works of art and the locally created soaps and lotions; for the spirited liquids and that great cup of coffee to enjoy as we take it all in. It’s the loveliest way to wander through the weekend - to shop local and get fresh with the Municipality of Chester.

Please Note: Some conditions may cause the market associations to change locations or close for one weekend, please see the association's Facebook page for confirmation of open days and locations.
