Lewes farmers market to get jazzy Oct. 19

October 16, 2019

Historic Lewes Farmers Market customers can revel in the the sounds of Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival while experiencing the tastes and smells of an autumn farmers market from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 19, at Shields Elementary School parking lot off the corner of Savannah Road and Sussex Drive in Lewes.

Multi-instrumental jazz sax player Everett Spells will be serenading attendees as he roams the grounds.

The fall harvest will be in full swing, and favorite market vendors will offer all the bounties of the harvest including baby kale, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, winter squash, apples, cider, mushrooms, pork, chicken, oysters, freshly-laid eggs, breads, jams and jellies, pastries, milk, yogurt, fall soups, 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 market also accepts welcomes WIC and SFMNP coupons for fresh fruit and vegetable purchases.

Customers can subscribe to the HLFM newsletter for free weekly updates each Thursday. To be included, email info@historiclewesfarmersmarket.org or sign up at www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org.
