  Let Us Help You Carry Your Groceries to Your Car
The Market provides a Veggie Valet service to help customers carry bags and melons (when they are in season) back to their cars. Please go the HLFM Information Tent if you need some help getting your bags to your car.
SNAP and WIC at the Market

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