Chef Cameron from a(MUSE.) will be at Lewes Farmers Market Aug. 27
Heirloom tomatoes, melons, beets, cabbage, potatoes, squash, basil, eggs, milk, butter, fresh croissants, and much more can be found at the Wednesday and Saturday Historic Lewes Farmers Markets this week.
There are two special programs at the Saturday market Aug. 27. At 9 a.m., Maureen Miller, children's librarian from the Lewes Public Library, will read "Busy in the Garden" by George Shannon. All children and their adults are welcome to come to Children's Story Time, a partnership program between the HLFM and the Lewes Public Library. The Story Time Tent is located near the children's playground at the park.
At 10 a.m., Chef/Owner Hari Cameron from a(MUSE.) and Grandpa(MAC) will demonstrate a very special menu made from the Saturday market's selection of fruit - fresh market fruit ice cream and sorbet.
The Historic Lewes Farmers Market has a second producer-only market Wednesdays at Kings Highway and Crooked Hammock Way from 8 to 11 a.m. The big Saturday HLFM market is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at George H. P. Smith Park, corner of Johnson and Dupont avenues. There's lots of parking for that location at the Shields Elementary School and Lewes School parking lots, just off the corner of Savannah Road and Sussex Drive and a short walk to the market. For customers not able to walk that far there is a drop-off and pick-up entrance in the circle in front of Fred Thomas Building next to the park.
The market offers SNAP (EBT Food Stamps) program at the Saturday market. 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.
