LEWES — The Historic Lewes Farmers Market will open Saturday with lots of potted plants, wreaths, and flowers to help celebrate moms on their special day.

The farmers market will be held George H.P. Smith Park (Johnson and DuPont Avenues) and opens at 8 a.m.

In addition to flowers and plants, the farmers/producers will be bringing freshly cut asparagus, lettuces and greens including mini-romaines, baby kale, arugula, Swiss chard, spinach, salad and stir fry mixes. Customers will also find salad turnips, radishes and potentially the first strawberries of the season.

There is also a selection of eggs, milk, butter, pork, chicken, mushrooms, honey, herbs, jams, heavenly baked goods and more.

The market continues its SNAP (EBT Food Stamps) program. 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. WIC and SFMNP coupons will also be accepted at the market starting in June.

After entering the market, customers may now visit any vendor in the market and walk in any direction in the market. However, everyone in the market must still wear face masks (even those vaccinated) and maintain 6 feet social distancing.

Hand sanitizer and a handwashing station will be located at the entrance to the market in the circle in front of the Fred Thomas Building at the foot of Dupont.

This circle will also be open for handicap drop-off and pick-up. Beebe Hospital is generously allowing market customers to park in its outside parking lots. Parking locations and the vendor maps for the market are available online.

In case of inclement weather, the Market moves to Shields Elementary School parking lot.
