The Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) is a non-profit organization that manages producer-only farmers markets located in Lewes, Delaware. The HLFM provides a family-friendly, community gathering place where consumers may purchase the freshest local foods available. It also provides alternative educational and marketing opportunities for emerging farmers and others to help create local and sustainable food systems that are environmentally sound, economically viable, and socially responsible and which improve the variety, freshness, nutritional value, and distribution of fresh farmland foods to the community. 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. In addition to SNAP, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market welcomes participants in Delaware’s Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. WIC benefits can be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the Market. Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) benefits are also welcome. The HLFM also operates a market at Crooked Hammock Brewery in Lewes on Wednesdays from 8 am – 11:30 am, June 7 through September 6. Additionally, the Fall Market takes place Saturdays from October 7 through November 18 from 9 am – 12 pm at Lewes Elementary School parking lot, 820 Savannah Road. Welcome To Your Market Where Fresh Food is Rooted in Community.

My wife and I have been going every Saturday that we’re in town. Not only do we love going but we have been volunteering for several years. A fantastic group of volunteers, managers and Farmers.
JoEllen Jordan says
We are so fortunate to have such a fruitful, pun intended, farmers market in our area. There are many areas that are not able to get fresh local, grown fruits, and vegetables, and the health benefits, are enormous. Additionally, the SNAP benefits are matched and make it more affordable for those who participate in the program. Thank you our volunteers who helped make this market possible.

The Lewes Farmers market sells producer only goods from knowledgeable and friendly farmers. Their produce, meats, baked goods, and flowers are always fresh. The market also supports the SNAP, WIC, and SFMNP programs to help support those in need.
