JOIN THE HISTORIC LEWES FARMERS MARKET
WE'RE OPEN RAIN OR SHINE
THIS SATURDAY'S MARKET HAS MOVED TO
SHIELDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARKING LOT
(Savannah Road and Sussex Drive)
Customers can find apples, plums, figs, sweet peppers, green beans, sweet corn, mushrooms, tomatoes, and everything else for the dinner table including grass-fed beef, lamb and pork chops. For breakfast there’s Canadian bacon, eggs, croissants, milk, yogurt, jams and honey. And to grace any table beautiful cut flower bouquets.
The market is open rain or shine. In case of inclement weather the Market moves to Shields Elementary School Parking Lot (Savannah Road and Sussex Drive).
The Market continues its SNAP (EBT Food Stamps) program. 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 tokens to use at the Market. 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. Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) coupons are also welcome.
The Market is open every Saturday from 8 am to noon. There’s lots of parking at the Shields Elementary School and Lewes School Parking lots, just off the corner of Savannah Road and Sussex Drive and a short walk to the Market. At the Saturday market, a Veggie Valet service is provided to help customers carry bags back to their cars. This service is located right outside the HLFM Information Tent.
Customers who want to know what is happening at the Market each Saturday should subscribe to the HLFM newsletter sent to customers on Thursdays. Newsletter is free. To be included, customers may send their email address to [email protected].
Consistent with its mission, the HLFM is committed to supporting farmers who grow local fruits and vegetables -- a “real” farmers market that is producer-only.
