This dish features yellow squash from Kalmar Farm, curly kale from Dittmar Family Farms, Tuscan kale and purple snow peas from Fox Briar Farm, and fresh garlic from Cosmic Dog Farm. Chef Justin consistently features seasonal ingredients from local farmers to make delicious dishes that celebrate all that shopping local has to offer.

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 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.

The HLFM Market at Crooked Hammock Brewery is open Wednesdays 8 – 11:30 am. Customers are now able to find local fruits veggies, meats, eggs, baked goods, and flowers in Lewes twice a week at both HLFM Markets.

The very popular Children’s Storytime at the Market continues at 10am under the yellow tent each Saturday Market. Volunteers read books about farming, gardening, and healthy eating. All children and their adults are welcome.

The HLFM encourages customers that are able to bike or walk to the Market. 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. The best place customers can park is at the main parking lot at the Lewes Elementary School (where the Market moves if it rains) at 820 Savannah Road, with just a short walk on the sidewalk path to the Market at George H.P. Smith Park. Beebe Hospital also generously allows Market customers to park in its outside parking lot.
