It’s Mother’s Day at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market
 
 
The Historic Lewes Farmers Market will open at George H. P. Smith Park this Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 8 am. The HLFM will celebrate moms at the market with two “Spice Up Mother’s Day” events.
 
At 9 am, at the demonstration tent, the market will show visitors how to create a great Mother’s Day Brunch with local produce and herbs.
 
Then at 10 am, Crystal Giesey and Misty Fields from Masterpiece Flowers, a new vendor at the Market, will demonstrate how to create beautiful bouquets for mom.
 
For those who want to give something special for Mother’s Day there will be lots of strawberries, flower bouquets, plants, and jams. A lot of moms would appreciate 12 perfect eggs or a beautiful bouquet of asparagus with a ribbon.
 
At 9 am, Maureen Miller, children’s librarian from the Lewes Public Library begins Children’s Story Time at the Market by reading The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear by Audrey Wood. Over 8,200 children and their adults have come to Children’s Story Time at the Market since this partnership program between the HLFM and the Lewes Public Library began in 2008.
 
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 will also be accepted 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
 
In case of inclement weather, the Market moves to Shields Elementary School Parking lot.
 
The HLFM Veggie Valet service helps customers carry bags and melons back to their cars. This valet service is located right outside the HLFM Information Tent, so please look for it.
