Lewes Oyster House to Highlight What’s Fresh at the Demo Tent!

Summer is in full swing at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market! The HLFM’s 37 local farmers and producers will bring peaches, sweet corn, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, peppers, plums, green beans, eggplant, cucumbers, summer squash, zucchini, carrots, kale, radishes, cabbage, garlic, onions, hydroponic and field lettuces, herbs, microgreens, eggs, coffee, cold-pressed juices, kombucha, beef, pork, chicken, lamb, oysters, crab, mushrooms, freeze-dried local fruits and veggies, cut-flower bouquets, freshly baked breads and pastries, jams and jellies, local honey, and much more!

Visit the Market Demo tent at 10am for a special demonstration by owner and Chef Sean Corea of Lewes Oyster House. Chef Sean will highlight local, seasonal food from Market farmers to bring visitors the best flavors of summer in Delmarva.

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 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!

Save the dates! The Historic Lewes Farmers Market has two exciting events coming up at the Saturday Market at George H. P. Smith Park. On Saturday, August 1, the HLFM will hold its annual Tomato Festival, where everyone can bring their largest home-grown tomatoes for the Biggest Tomato at the Market contest, enter the Guess the Number of Tomatoes in the Jar for a prize for the closest guess, a 10am Demonstration from Lewes Oyster House, and more. On Saturday, August 15, family favorite Kids Day at the Market returns with a special Demonstration and hands-on kid’s activity, games throughout the Market, face painting, and prizes including picture books donated by The Nature Generation.

Don’t miss all of the chances to win at the HLFM Summer Raffle this Market season! Visitors will have the full Raffle season to purchase tickets with a final drawing on September 5th to win a Lewes Oyster House 3-Course Chef’s Tasting with Wine Pairing for 6-8 at the LOH Chef’s Table. Quilt-maker extraordinaire Laurie Sieminski has gifted a beautiful veggie-themed quilt for this season’s Market Raffle. Customers have even more chances to win restaurant gift cards and tickets for local experiences and activities through monthly and daily drawings. Stop by the HLFM Raffle Tent for all of the prize and drawing information. Tickets are $5 each or 6 tickets for $25. All proceeds go to the HLFM farmer support and food access programs.

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 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.

The Market accepts SNAP, WIC, and SFMNP benefits, and continues to match SNAP up to $20 per market, per customer. Please go to the SNAP tent to process SNAP/EBT.

The HLFM continues its Food Pantry Purchase Program. HLFM customers who want to help feed the local community every Saturday may purchase local produce, meat, and other 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 including Epworth and Casa San Francisco. The HLFM thanks its customers for their generosity.

The HLFM thanks The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, 2026 HLFM Market Champion, for their continued support of the Market and shared passion for promoting the businesses of local farmers and making fresh, nutritious food accessible to all in our community.

The Market’s weekly newsletter lists what each vendor is bringing to Market, demos and more. To receive the newsletter customers should email info@historiclewesfarmersmarket.org and ask to be added to the list.

In case of inclement weather, the Market moves to the Lewes Elementary School parking lot, 820 Savannah Road.
