Cheney Farmers Market

Eastern Coffee Roasters appears as a sponsor for the June 13th market, a detail that immediately places Cheney Farmers Market inside a network of small local businesses rather than as a standalone weekly stop. The market runs in Cheney from June through September and uses Veterans Memorial Park for at least its June 13th market, giving it a defined warm-season footprint in town. At 609 2nd Street, the market brings together farm products, prepared goods, and handmade items in one compact downtown address. SNAP/EBT is accepted, which broadens access alongside the seasonal lineup of produce, eggs, meat, flowers, honey, and lavender goods.

Why it matters locally

The Cheney Farmers Market Association is the non-profit behind the market, and it openly invites volunteers, community input, and participation in its meetings. That structure matters because the market is not only a place to buy food; it is also an organized local project with regular association meetings, including one scheduled at 6 pm in the Cheney Rodeo Building at the Bi-Mart Arena.

The vendor rules also keep the market tied to independent production. Vendors must be farmers and/or independently owned small businesses, applications are due one week before each market day, and sellers can choose either a per-market fee or a season fee. Taken together, those details point to a market built around small-scale growers and makers serving Cheney during its June-to-September season.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix leans practical and seasonal: staple foods like eggs, beef cuts, and produce sit alongside flowers, lavender goods, and a few craft-oriented items. Several vendors also cross categories, so a single stop can cover dinner ingredients, starts for the garden, and a small take-home extra.

• -Mfive Farm brings plant starts, eggs, leather earrings, and Lexa's Treats dog treats.
• -Lexa's Treats focuses on dog treats.
• -Pork and Petals offers fresh produce from its farm and a few other local farms, with honey in the fall from its bees.
• -Twin Calves Ranch sells beef cuts, eggs, and honey.
• -Reka's Acres centers its stand on lavender and lavender products.
• -Sullivan Family Farms includes baked goods, farm fresh flowers, beef, and eggs.

The calendar includes more than the regular market setup. A June 13th market is scheduled for 9 am to 1 pm at Veterans Memorial Park, the season also includes a Fall Fest in October, and the association holds monthly Tuesday meetings with an online option as well as an in-person location at the Cheney Rodeo Building in the Bi-Mart Arena.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest visit rules to plan around before you head to 609 2nd Street. If you are arriving as a shopper during the main season, the market operates June through September, and at least one posted market day runs from 9 am to 1 pm at Veterans Memorial Park.

The market is also structured with a firm event-day rhythm behind the scenes: vendors may begin setup at 7:30 am and must be out of the park by 2 pm, with applications due one week before each market day. Restrooms are not available, so longer visits may take a bit more planning. The market also lists a direct email contact for questions tied to participation or logistics: farmersmarketcheney@gmail.com.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Cheney Farmers Market, an important detail if you are planning a grocery-focused visit rather than a browse. The market also clearly presents payment information for shoppers, which helps when you are deciding how to handle produce, meat, eggs, and other seasonal purchases across multiple vendors.
