The Historic Lewes Farmers Market will be open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, May 9, at George H.P. Smith Park at the corner of Dupont and Johnson Avenues. 

In case of inclement weather, the market moves to the Lewes Elementary School parking lot, 820 Savannah Road.

Customers can find beautiful fresh flower bouquets and sweet treats to help bring a smile to someone special this Mother’s Day. 

The market's 37 local farmers and producers will also bring the best fresh vegetables, fruit, eggs, breads and pastries, jams, honey, cold-pressed juices, kombucha, coffee, beef, pork, chicken, lamb, seafood, mushrooms, plants and much more.

Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats Head Chef Josh Fehr will offer a demonstration at 10 a.m., preparing no-knead naan bread to pair perfectly with dips, jams and other toppings featuring seasonal ingredients from around the market. Fehr will highlight green garlic from Fox Briar Farm and herbs from Herbs, Spice, Everything Nice and Bittersweet Hydroponic Farms.

The HLFM is producer-only, so customers are able to buy directly from the farmers who grow the produce.

Patrons should note that dogs and other pets (except for service animals) are not permitted inside the market area, in order to ensure the safety of customers, vendors and volunteers.

Organizers encourage customers to bike or walk to market if able. The circle in front of the Fred Thomas Building at the foot of DuPont Avenue will be open for accessible drop-off and pickup, with some spots available for handicap-accessible parking only. The best place customers can park is at the main Lewes Elementary lot at 820 Savannah Road, with just a short walk down a path to the park. Beebe Healthcare also allows market customers to park in its outside lot.

For a list of all vendors, their contact information and whether they take preorders, go to historiclewesfarmersmarket.org. Customers will pick up preorders at the vendor tent in the market.

The market processes payments from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and Women, Infants and Children Program benefits, and continues to match SNAP up to $20 per market, per customer. Customers may go to the SNAP tent to process SNAP/EBT.

The HLFM continues its food pantry purchase program. Market customers who want to help feed the local community may purchase local produce, meat and other food from growers at the market to donate to this program every Saturday. At the end of the market, the produce and other foods are gathered and given to local food pantries.

The HLFM Wednesday Market at Crooked Hammock Brewery will begin its season June 3, and customers will find all of their favorites and more as vendors offer produce, meats, eggs, baked goods and flowers.
