Where the Farmers are in the Fall!
October 23, 9 am – noon
Customers looking for fresh local cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, baby kale, and butternut squash will find them all at the fall market. The harvest is coming in and the market farmers are bringing potatoes, Brussel sprouts, winter squashes, sweet potatoes, lettuces, pears, apples, cider, mushrooms, turkey, pork, chicken, beef, crabs, freshly laid eggs, breads, jams and jellies, pastries, milk, yogurt, kombucha, fresh beauty products, and beautiful flower bouquets and wreaths. See the full list of vendors at this week's market by clicking here.
The Fall market is located at Shields Elementary School Parking lot from 9 am to 12 pm. The market will be at Shields each Saturday through November 20. Not only is the Historic Lewes Farmers Market a producer-only, “where the farmers are” market, but it is also a rain or shine market.
Parking is limited at the Market, as the Lewes School parking lot is still fenced off due to construction. Customers are advised to either walk or bike to the market. The Market thanks Beebe Hospital for allowing customers to also park in the outdoor Beebe lot in back of the Hospital. Customers can enter that parking area through the main entrance to the Hospital between Rite Aid and the Hospital.
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. WIC and SFMNP coupons are also accepted at the Market.
The HLFM also continues its partnership with the Epworth United Methodist Church Food Pantry. Market customers who want to help feed the local community may purchase local produce, meats, milk, and other food from growers at the Market to donate to the Epworth program every Saturday. At the end of the Market, the produce and other foods are gathered and given to Epworth. The HLFM thanks its customers for their generosity.
