LEWES, Del. — At 10 am, the Market celebrates Pollinator Week with a demo by Sumner Crosby and the Lewes Beekeeping Club. This is a great demo for kids and adults alike! Learn about the life cycle of the bee, how beekeepers care for bees and their hives and how honey is harvested. Local honey can be tasted at Stag Run Farm tent.
The Market is supporting the Juneteenth Celebration which begins in the Park at 1pm, after the Market closes at noon. The small parking lot with the porta potties will close to Market customers at 10:30 am, and there will be no parking on Dupont Avenue between Johnson and the circle. Market customers for this one day only may park in the field behind the houses on Dupont Avenue. The entrance to the field is at the end of Dupont Avenue.

WIC and SFMNP coupons will also be accepted at the market starting in June.
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.

The HLFM thanks its customers for their generosity.
