What's Fresh at the Wednesday Market
Ten farmers/producers will bring beautiful tart cherries, snap peas, spinach, arugula, fresh-cut asparagus, lettuces, radishes, honey, mushrooms, beef, chicken, freshly laid eggs, herb, veggie, and flower plants, fresh-baked breads, pastries made with fruit from the Market, and so much more!

New Wednesday Market vendors include Dream Catcher Homestead from Laurel, Delaware featuring grass fed beef, pasture raised chicken, beef jerky, and farm fresh eggs, and Mayhems Confections from Dagsboro, Delaware with cinnamon rolls, scones, coffee cake, babka, sweet breads, and large stuffed cookies. Old World Breads and the Point Coffee House and Bakery will now be at the Wednesday Market as well, joining the returning Bennett Orchards, Cosmic Dog Farm, Davidson’s Exotic Mushrooms, Dittmar Family Farms, Kalmar Farm, and Stag Run Farm.


The Historic Lewes Farmers Market is unique in that it is producer-only—at this Market, customers buy directly from the farmer who grew the produce. Only vendors who grow, raise, or produce what they sell are allowed in this market. A true farmers market!
Please note that Bennett Orchards is not yet at Market.
Market Demonstration with Chef Ted Deptula
Chef Ted Deptula, Culinary Director of Crooked Hammock Brewery, will be joining the Wednesday Market periodically to show off new recipes and give customers samples of some of the offerings of Crooked Hammock Brewery!
SNAP, WIC, SFMNP—
HLFM Matches up to $20 of SNAP Per Market
The Market will continue to match SNAP benefits up to $20 per market, per customer. You can find the SNAP tent at the HLFM tent with volunteers to process your SNAP/EBT and give you the HLFM tokens that can be used at market all season long. WIC and SFMNP benefits are also welcome at the Market.
Attention Dog Owners:
Please note that dogs and other pets (except for Service Dogs) are not permitted inside the Market. This is to ensure the safety of customers, vendors, and volunteers. This rule applies to both the Saturday and Wednesday Markets.
