Lewes farmers market continues with best of fall harvest Oct. 20
The Historic Lewes Farmers Market will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Oct. 20, in the parking lot of Shields Elementary School off Savannah Road at Sussex Drive in Lewes.
A group of 24 vendors will be at the market through Saturday, Nov. 17, the weekend before Thanksgiving, offering all the bounties of fall harvest and more: carrots, fresh ginger, sweet potatoes, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, winter squash including pumpkins, mushrooms, artisanal cheeses, apples, pears, cider, lamb, pork, oysters, freshly laid eggs, breads, jams and jellies, pastries, milk, butter, yogurt and beautiful flowers for the table.
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 can come to the SNAP tent to pick up the bonus $20 in tokens to use at the market.
The Historic Lewes Farmers Market also welcomes participants in Delaware's Women, Infants and Children program. WIC coupons can be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the market. Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons are also welcome.
There’s lots of parking at the Lewes School parking lot directly across from the market. For more information, go to www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org.
