Lewes recognizes farmers market
The City of Lewes has proclaimed Saturday, May 2, as Historic Lewes Farmers Market Day, the day the market opens for its 21st season.
The Wednesday market will open June 3 at Crooked Hammock.
The proclamation recognizes the market for making fresh, local food available to everyone in the community and lowering barriers to a variety of assistance programs. Mayor Amy Marasco read the proclamation at the April 13 council meeting.
