LEWES, Del. — The Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) announced that The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group has given the Market a gift of $15,000 as Market Champion Sponsor for 2022. The HLFM is an integral part of Lewes’ special character, its sense of place and way of life, providing a family-friendly gathering place that honors and reinforces the region’s sense of community and strong agricultural roots. The Market is a community-based non-profit that serves the City of Lewes and nearby communities through its weekly markets, educational activities, and various programs to increase access to fresh, local food. It supports small family farms by providing a marketplace for a wide array of locally produced organic and sustainably-grown produce, meats, seafood, dairy, and other agricultural products.
Chris Holt, Chief Operating Officer for The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group commented: “The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group is once again honored to serve as the ‘Market Champion’ in support of the many efforts undertaken by the Historic Lewes Famers Market. HLFM, along with their many volunteers, provides an incredibly beneficial resource and attraction for our community with both the Wednesday and Saturday weekly markets. Additionally, they provide incredibly beneficial programs and services for our local farmers and the community at large. The Market’s contribution to Lewes and the surrounding community is profound and far-reaching and so deserving of ongoing community-wide support.”
The Market thanks The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, a part of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services/Gallo Realty, for their strong commitment to the HLFM.
