LEWES, Del. — At 10 am, Market favorite Chef Bill Clifton uses produce from the Market to prepare a great summer dish to celebrate July 4. Chef Clifton has opened several successful restaurants in the beach area, and always has a great demo.

The HLFM Bicycle Giveaway is back! 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. There’s even a Chicken Dance ringer bell.

Entry in the Bicycle Giveaway raffle is free, and the winner will be drawn on Labor Day weekend. In order to enter the contest, customers should come to the HLFM Information Tent to fill out a submission form on their phone through a QR code, or a volunteer can assist in filling out the form on the HLFM 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.

Each week now brings more to the Market, and this Saturday there will be heirloom tomatoes—both slicer and cherry, cherries, blueberries, sweet corn, potatoes, radicchio, summer squashes, kale, Bok Choy, sugar snap peas, snow peas, broccoli, radishes, carrots, Swiss chard, arugula, lettuces, pork sausages, tilapia fish, oysters, live crabs, hand-picked crabmeat, crabcakes, crab salad, grass-fed chicken, beef, honey, mushrooms, eggs, yogurt, milk, butter, ice cream, kombucha, jams, fresh-baked breads, pastries made with fruit from the vendors at the market, herb, veggie, and flower plants, cut-flower bouquets including sunflowers, and more. The Historic Lewes Farmers Market is unique in that it is producer-only—customers are able to buy directly from the farmer who grew the produce. This Market is where the farmers are.

Children’s Storytime at the Market, a partnership with the Lewes Public Library starts at 10am. Library volunteers read books about farming, healthy eating, gardening, and nature at the Yellow Tent near the Historic Lewes Farmers Market Information Tent.

The HLFM Big Raffle has 3 stupendous prizes, each valued at $1,000: Jazz Fest Weekend Tickets and Dinner; the Fabu-Lewes-Feast including 8-$125 restaurant gift cards; and a Private-in-Home 3-Course Chef with Wine Pairing for 10 by Chef Sean Corea. Tickets are on sale at the Market, and the drawing is September 3rd. Winner does not have to be present to win. All proceeds go to support the HLFM.

The market takes place at George H.P. Smith Park. However, in case of inclement weather, the Market moves to Lewes Elementary School Parking lot, 820 Savannah Road.

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 will also be accepted at the market starting in June.

Customers who want to help feed our 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.

The circle in front of the Fred Thomas Building at the foot of Dupont will be open for handicap drop-off and pick-up. Beebe Hospital is generously allowing market customers to park in its outside parking lot. Please go to www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org to see where parking is located and to view Vendor Maps for the Market. The market is a stop on the Lewes Line, a great way to come to the Market.

Visit us at the Wednesday Market at Crooked Hammock Brewery too! Ten great farmers will be selling fresh, beautiful produce, meats, breads, flowers, and more from 8 to 11 am, June through September.

The Market thanks The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, 2022 HLFM Market Champion, and all other sponsors for their continued support of the Market.

More information about the Market is available at www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org. Find them also on Facebook and Instagram.
