About Renninger's Farmer's Market, Auction & Flea Market

Nestled in Schuylkill Haven, Renninger’s Farmer’s Market, Auction & Flea Market offers a distinctive experience for those who love a bit of treasure hunting. Open on weekends, it features a variety of vendors, although the atmosphere can feel a bit neglected, with some stalls closed and a few filled with less desirable products. That being said, the market does have its gems, like Carmen’s Smoked Cheese, which consistently receives rave reviews, and Light Waves Apothecary, known for its helpful staff and curated finds.

Visitors can enjoy delightful snacks, particularly the Shepherd’s pie, while exploring the auction aspect of the market. Many appreciate the low prices and the ability to score unique antiques or vintage items among the stalls. However, keep in mind that the market can sometimes feel overwhelming due to an unkempt environment and the occasional musty smell. It’s a cash-only operation, so be prepared before you go.

While some may be put off by the market’s condition, many locals still recommend giving it a shot. If you’re willing to explore and sift through the offerings, you might just find treasures worth the trip. Just check the hours, as it’s only open Saturday and Sunday from morning until mid-afternoon, and plan to discover if the good vendors are open during your visit.
