Historic Lewes Farmers Market thanks Lee Ann Wilkinson Group

The Historic Lewes Farmers Market recently announced it has received a special donation of $20,000 from the Lee Ann Wilkinson Group in celebration of the market’s 20-year milestone.

With this gift, the Lee Ann Wilkinson Group continues as Saturday Market Champion, as it has done since the start of the HLFM sponsorship program in 2020.

The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group also will sponsor the Historic Lewes Farmers Market’s October event celebrating 20 years. Details will follow.

The HLFM operations are an integral part of Lewes’ special character, its sense of place and way of life, providing a family-friendly gathering place that honors and reinforces the region’s sense of community and strong agricultural roots. The community-based nonprofit has been serving the City of Lewes and nearby communities for the last 20 years through its weekly markets, educational activities and various programs to increase access to fresh, local food. It supports small family farms by providing a marketplace for a wide array of locally produced organic and sustainably grown produce, meats, seafood, dairy and other agricultural products.

Chris Holt, chief operating officer for The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, said, “The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group is so honored and excited to serve as the Market Champion sponsor for the Historic Lewes Farmers Market once again. The HLFM provides such an integral contribution to making the Lewes community a vibrant and wonderful place to live and visit. Further, in addition to the Wednesday and Saturday markets, the HLFM provides incredibly beneficial programs and services for our local farmers and the community at large. We all look forward to celebrating the special 20th anniversary 2025 market season!”

The HLFM thanks The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, a part of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty, for its strong commitment to the market and for celebrating this momentous milestone.
