On Saturday, September 16 at 8 am, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market rings the bell to open at George H. P. Smith Park at Dupont and Johnson Avenues. 35 vendors are at market selling fresh ginger, eggplants, tomatoes, pears, apples, plums, sweet corn, cucumbers, beets, radishes, potatoes, kale, carrots, squash, melons, beef-pork-lamb, artisanal cheeses, baked goods, local honey, freshly-cut flowers, and chicken and duck eggs.
 
The Market provides a Veggie Valet service to help customers carry bags and melons (when they are in season) back to their cars. This service is located right outside the HLFM Information Tent.
 
The Market continued its Annual Free Bike Raffle tradition for the 2017 season and the winner was chosen last Saturday, September 9.  The lucky winner was Sue Montalto of Lewes!
 
At 10 am, Heirloom Executive Chef Matt Kern will be in the demonstration tent.  Chef Kern is sourcing the best seasonal, local ingredients for Heirloom’s menu, and he will be preparing a menu using his hand-picked selection of foods from the market. Heirloom, located in downtown historic Lewes,  is known for its great food, lovely wait staff, wonderful cocktails and delightful ambience. 
 
Children’s Story Time is finished for the season.
 
The Market offers the SNAP (EBT Food Stamps) program at the Market. To help lower economic barriers to local, healthy food, the HLFM matches up to $20 each participant each week with HLFM Bonus Bucks. SNAP participants are encouraged to come to the SNAP tent at the Market to pick up the bonus $20. In addition to SNAP, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market welcomes participants in Delaware's Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. WIC coupons can be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the Market.
 
The Market is open every Saturday from 8 am to noon. Ample parking can be found at the Shields Elementary School and Lewes School Parking lots (intersection of Savannah Road and Sussex Drive), a short walk to the Market.
