Farmers Market
April through September during Fabulous Fridays.
Thank you for your interest in joining Yew Dell’s season-long celebration of local growers, makers, and sustainable farming.
Our goal is to create a space where neighbors can meet among the inspiring gardens and grounds, share stories, and connect over fresh, locally produced food.
The monthly Market dates will coincide with Yew Dell’s Fabulous Fridays (admission free) garden happy hours that will help to create an inviting and energetic event.

Once all the applications have been reviewed, Yew Dell staff will contact you regarding your participation in the 2026 Farmers Market at Yew Dell. Beginning January 29, 2026, vendors will be contacted regarding their application and contracts for the season will be signed at that time.
