The market is open every Saturday from 8 am to noon at George H. P. Smith Park, corner of Johnson and Dupont Avenues. There's lots of parking for that location at the Shields Elementary School and Lewes School Parking lots, just off the corner of Savannah Road and Sussex Drive and a short walk to the Market. 

For customers not able to walk that far there is a drop-off and pick-up entrance in the circle in front of Fred Thomas Building next to the park.

SNAP and WIC at the HLFM
The Market offers SNAP (EBT Food Stamps) program at the Saturday market. To help lower economic barriers to local, healthy food, the HLFM matches up to $20 each participant each week with HLFM Bonus Bucks. SNAP participants are encouraged to come to the SNAP tent at the Market to pick up the bonus $20 in tokens to use at the Market.

In addition to SNAP, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market now welcomes participants in Delaware's Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. WIC coupons can now be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the Market.

What's So Special about the Historic Lewes Farmers Market?
Our volunteers help us in all parts of the Market. Did you know that it takes about 1 1/2 hours to set up the Market? We couldn't do it so quickly without the help of the Tentations, a group of volunteers led by Carolyn Jones who help set up the Market every Saturday. Look for them in green Tentations t-shirts early in the morning, and at noon when they help break down the market, and help us thank them for all the work they have done this season. We couldn't have done it without them.
