FREE Bike Giveaway — Win an Electra Cruiser Bicycle!
This year the official HLFM bicycle is an Electra Cruiser 1 Step-Thru in bright green. This bike is simplicity at its finest. It has a cushy seat, smooth rolling tires, and no-slip pedals. There is a recycled ocean plastic basket that is perfect for the Market or for the beach. We’ve even added a Chicken Dance ringer bell to announce your arrival!
Tickets for the Giveaway are free, and the winner will be drawn on Labor Day weekend.
In order to enter the contest, come to the HLFM Information Tent to fill out our submission form on your phone through our QR code, or we can assist you in filling out the form on our laptop.
Customers can enter every Saturday, so Market regulars have a better chance of winning. This beautiful cruiser was selected with the help of Lewes Cycle Sports and purchased locally at their store at 526 E. Savannah Road in Lewes. The Historic Lewes Farmers Market sponsors this raffle to encourage everyone who is able, to bike or walk to the Market.
Supporting our Community
HLFM's Food Pantry Purchase Program—
Help Your Favorite Farmers
and Local Food Pantries
HLFM customers who want to help feed the local community with fresh local food may purchase produce, meats, milk, and other food from growers at the Market to donate to the local Food Pantries, including Epworth and Casa San Francisco Food Pantries, every Saturday. It’s so easy--all you have to do is let the vendor know what you want to donate or give $5, $10, $25 to the grower and ask them to put together a selection for the food pantries. The farmer gets your sale, and the food pantry gets the local food. We thank you for your generosity, and if you have any questions, please contact us: [email protected].
SNAP, WIC, SFMNP—
HLFM Matches up to $20 of SNAP

Looking to join in on the HLFM fun? Volunteer!
Do you come to the Market all the time and wonder what those folks in green HLFM aprons do? Well, you can find out by volunteering for the non-profit Historic Lewes Farmers Market, almost totally run by volunteers. We still need additional help at the Market through November. There are two shifts for volunteers, so you only have to commit to a two-hour period.
To volunteer, please contact: [email protected].
