The Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) is a producer-only farmers market located in Lewes, Delaware, "the first town in the first state."
The HLFM provides a family-friendly, community gathering place where consumers may purchase the freshest local foods available. It also provides alternative educational and marketing opportunities for farmers and others to help create local and sustainable food systems that are environmentally sound, economically viable and socially responsible.
PLEASE NOTE: We have an alternative location on June 28, July 12 and August 2 at Shields School near the intersection of Savannah Road and Sussex Drive.
