9 am – 12 pm
Lewes Elementary School parking lot
It’s a very special Holiday Market this Saturday, December 6. Customers can visit the Historic Lewes Farmers Market from 9am to noon at the Lewes Elementary School parking lot to stock up on all of their local favorites for the holiday season including carrots, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, squashes, beets, cabbage, collard greens, kale, radishes, red potatoes, sweet potatoes, lettuces, apples, turnips, mizuna, arugula, spinach, microgreens, kohlrabi, seasonal soups, hand-picked crabmeat, beef, pork (including hams), mushrooms, honey, jams and jellies, freshly-laid eggs, coffee drinks, kombucha, cold-pressed juices, apple cider, fresh-baked breads, pastries and desserts made with ingredients from Market farmers, gluten-free offerings, apple cider donuts, festive wreaths, 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, and meats. This Market is where the farmers are—the most farmers in any farmers market in Delmarva!
To celebrate this final Market of their 20th Market Season, the HLFM will host a special $20 for 20 Years fresh food drive, asking customers at the Market to donate $20 for 
the purchase of fresh produce, meats, bread, and eggs to go into the Food Pantry Purchase Program. HLFM customers who want to help feed the local community may purchase food directly from growers at the Market to donate to this program, or through donations at the HLFM Information tent. At the end of the Market, the produce and other foods are gathered and given to food pantries. The HLFM thanks its customers for their generosity in this special ask to help extend fresh food pantry deliveries a few weeks more.
The HLFM will continue to provide all customers that have a SNAP card $20 of Bonus Bucks tokens to spend at the Market, without the need for SNAP customers to match with their benefits. Customers can find the SNAP tent inside the Market with volunteers to process remaining SNAP/EBT benefits and give the HLFM tokens that can be used at the Market. Customers must present their SNAP card at the SNAP tent to receive the $20 of HLFM Bonus Bucks tokens. Customers can also find a list at the SNAP tent of the names, addresses, phone numbers, and hours for 17 local area food pantries that receive food from small farmers through the HLFM Farm to Community Program for additional assistance.
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.
The HLFM encourages customers that are able to bike or walk to the Market. Entrance for walkers and bikers is off Savannah Road. Parking is available in the school’s bus loop parking lot off of Sussex Drive–with coned off accessible parking spaces in the section closest to the Market. Customers may also use the Fred Thomas Middle School parking lot. Beebe Hospital also generously allows Market customers to park in its outside parking lot, and there is parking available at George H.P. Smith Park, a short walk on the path to Lewes Elementary School.
The HLFM thanks The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group for their continued support of the Market, especially for this special season, as 2025 HLFM Market Champion.
