Piqua Community Farmers Market

Piqua Community Farmers Market runs in Downtown Piqua directly in front of the Piqua Public Library, giving the Thursday market a clear civic anchor on High Street. The 2026 season runs from May 28 through October 8, with shopping each Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m.. The market also highlights federal and state nutrition programs, including information tied to USDA’s Food & Nutrition Services, alongside SNAP/EBT and WIC resources. That combination of downtown location, weekday timing, and produce-focused assistance programs shapes a market built for regular local shopping rather than a one-off stop.

Why it matters locally

The market’s nutrition-program setup is one of its strongest local roles. The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program is funded by USDA’s Food & Nutrition Services, administered by the Ohio Department of Aging, and supported locally by Homegrown Benefits. The market also shares Produce Perks Midwest information and highlights SNAP/EBT and WIC alongside senior coupons, pointing shoppers toward multiple ways to use food benefits at the market.

Its downtown placement adds another practical layer. By operating directly in front of the Piqua Public Library on High Street, the market sits in a recognizable public setting rather than on an outlying site. That location, paired with a Thursday afternoon schedule, makes the market part of the weekly rhythm in central Piqua.

What you'll find there

Produce drives this market, with several growers covering the core summer staples while bakers, honey sellers, meat vendors, plant growers, and craft makers round out the tables.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change your plan before heading downtown. The market sets up at Spring and Ash Streets, directly in front of the Piqua Public Library on High Street, so the library is the clearest landmark for finding it fast. Restrooms are not available on site. Shopping happens on Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. during the May 28 to October 8 season, so this is an afternoon market rather than an early-morning stop.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Piqua Community Farmers Market. The market also points shoppers to Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program information, WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program materials, and Produce Perks Midwest resources, showing that food-assistance use is a central part of how the market serves local buying.
