It’s Halloween at Historic Lewes Farmers Market Oct. 29

At the Saturday, Oct. 29, Historic Lewes Farmers Market, not only will customers find Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, garlic, collard greens, Swiss chard, spinach, cauliflower, lettuces and apples, but also their favorite farmers in costume to celebrate Halloween. Customers are invited to come to market in costume. The market has moved to Shields Elementary School (Savannah Road and Sussex Drive) for the fall market season, and is open 9 a.m. to noon through Nov. 19. Convenient parking can be found at the adjacent Lewes School parking lot.

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 now welcomes participants in Delaware's Women, Infants and Children program. WIC coupons can now be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the market.

Consistent with its mission, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market is committed to supporting farmers who grow local fruits, vegetables and produce –a "real" farmers market.
