8am – 12pmAt the Market this Saturday, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market hosts a very special History Book Festival event. At the demo tent at 10am, Michelle King, the author of Chop Fry Watch Learn: Fu Pei-mei and the Making of Modern Chinese Food, will team up with Bodhi Kitchen to demonstrate how home cooks can integrate the wonderful, fresh Asian ingredients available through local farms into their everyday meals. 
The Market Demonstration will feature Lion Gardner, co-founder of Second Block Hospitality, and Bodhi Kitchen Executive Chef Beau Fazio preparing dumplings with Enoch Farms pork and veggies found at the Market. Don’t miss this special event, presented in partnership with the History Book Festival, and the chance to pick up a signed copy of the featured book.
Thirty-three farmers/producers will bring apples and apple cider, varieties of winter squashes, beans, and potatoes, broccoli, carrots, pumpkins, beets, radishes, eggplant, fresh ginger, garlic, spring onions, plums, pears, kale, stir-fry mix, cucumbers, peppers, paw paws, oysters, live crabs, hand-picked crab meat, crab soup, seasonal soups, honey, jams, mushrooms, chicken, beef, pork, turkey, duck, lamb, freshly laid eggs, locally roasted coffee and coffee drinks, kombucha, cold-pressed juices, fresh-baked breads, cakes, cookies, pies, apple cider donuts, and pastries—including vegan and gluten-free selections—made with fruit from vendors at the Market, herb, veggie, and flower plants, fresh-cut herbs, beautiful cut-flower bouquets, and much more.
The HLFM is unique in that it is producer-only—customers connect directly with the farmer who grew the produce and raised the animals to buy their local fruit, veggies, eggs, dairy, and meats. This Market is where the farmers are—the most farmers in any farmers market in the Delmarva!
Please note that dogs and other pets (except for service animals) are not permitted inside the Market. This is to ensure the safety of customers, vendors, and volunteers. Customers may still walk their dogs around the other paths and parts of George H.P. Smith Park but may not bring them inside the Market area.
This is the final Saturday in George H.P. Smith Park for the 2024 Season. The HLFM Fall Saturday Market will be open 9am to noon from October 5th through November 23rd at the Lewes Elementary School parking lot. The Fall Market celebrates the season with Apple Celebration Day, Jazz Fest, Beebe Healthcare Day, a spooky Halloween Market, Customer Appreciation Day, special Food Drives, and more!

The HLFM continues its Food Pantry Purchase Program. HLFM customers who want to help feed the local community may purchase local produce, meats, milk, 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 food pantries including Epworth and Casa San Francisco. The HLFM thanks its customers for their generosity.
Parking is limited, so customers should walk or bike to the Market if they are able. The circle in front of the Fred Thomas Building at the foot of Dupont will be open for accessible drop-off and pick-up, with some spots available for accessible parking only. With the addition of new sidewalks to George H.P. Smith Park, the best place to park is in the main parking lot at the Lewes Elementary School (where the Market moves if it rains) at 820 Savannah Road. The HLFM asks customers to please drive carefully when parking for the Market and always watch for children, walkers, and bikers.
In case of inclement weather, the Market moves to the Lewes Elementary School parking lot, 820 Savannah Road.
The HLFM thanks The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, 2024 HLFM Market Champion, for their continued support of the Market.
