LEWES, Del. — Saturday, November 5 is Customer Appreciation Day at the Market. Old World Bread brownie bites and Fifer Orchards cider will be free to customers at the HLFM info tent, and there will be customer thank yous from the farmers/producers throughout the Market.
Customers looking for fresh local cauliflower, cabbage, lima beans, acorn squash, leeks, beets, spinach, baby kale, butternut squash, and pumpkin jam will find them all at this Saturday’s Fall Market. The harvest is in, and market farmers are also bringing broccoli, potatoes, Brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, lettuces, pears, apples, apple cider, apple cider donuts, mushrooms, pork, chicken, beef, crabs, freshly laid eggs, fall soups (including veggie crab and Eastern shore cream of crab soups), breads, jams and jellies, pastries, gluten-free desserts, milk, yogurt, butter, kombucha, local roasted coffee and coffee drinks, fresh beauty products, and beautiful flower bouquets and wreaths.
The Fall Market is located at the Lewes Elementary School (LES) parking lot every Saturday from 9 am to 12 pm. The Market will be at LES through November 19. The Historic Lewes Farmers Market is a producer-only, “where the farmers are” market, and we are open rain or shine.
Entrance for walkers and bikers is the driveway into the school off Savannah Rd. Limited parking is available in the school’s bus parking lot off of Sussex Drive–with priority given to handicapped customers–and street parking is available.
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.
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 HLFM Food Pantry Purchase Program every Saturday. At the end of the Market, the produce and other foods are gathered and given to various food pantries including both Epworth and Casa San Francisco. The HLFM thanks its customers for their generosity.
Dogs at the Market must be under control on a tightly held non-retractable leash or their owners will be fed to the biggest goblin.
The Market thanks The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, 2022 HLFM Market Champion, and all other sponsors for their continued support of the Market.
