It’s Halloween at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market!
It’s Halloween at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market on Saturday, October 30. Farmers and volunteers will be decked out in ghoulish attire, and customers are asked to also come in costume for a fun fall market!
Customers looking for fresh local broccoli, spinach, baby kale, cauliflower, butternut squash, ghosts, goblins, and scarecrows will find them all at this Saturday’s fall market. The harvest is in, and 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. Click here to see a complete list of vendors for this week's market.
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. This Saturday is the last Saturday that these coupons can be accepted at the Market in 2021.
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.
