Welcome to the start of the 2022 – 2023 Offseason Delivery/Pickup Service from Hattie’s Garden! We are now taking orders for the Saturday, December 3 service. Our program helps fill in those cold winter months with produce and artisan foods from local vendors, many of whom you may have seen at local farmers markets. Aside from being extremely fresh, this food is simply not available in the supermarket. This is a great way to make it through the winter in style.

How it Works

Every Sunday we will send out an email (which will also be posted in our news section) detailing the items available for the coming Saturday’s order. The deadline to complete the order is 8PM on Tuesday. Orders are filled as they are submitted and some items sell out quickly. The order form will be updated as items sell out for the week. The order form will then be removed on Tuesday after the deadline. The following Sunday, a new order form will be available to begin the weekly cycle again.

What You Need to Do

Please place your order as soon as possible. While the deadline for placing your order is Tuesday at 8PM, we urge you to try to do so well ahead of that time. We fill orders as they are submitted and some items sell out quickly. These items are removed from the order form when sold out.

Once you complete your order, you will receive a confirmation email listing the items you ordered with an estimated total. If you do not receive your confirmation email within one hour after you place your order, please check your SPAM folder first, and if it is not there, please email us.

If you have changes or additions, email us before the Tuesday 8PM deadline. You can also submit another order. Just indicate in the comment box located on the bottom of the form that this is an additional order for the week.

We will send an update on Tuesday morning, indicating any changes to our inventory for that week.

Delivery or Pickup

If you live in Lewes or Rehoboth Beach, we can deliver your order to your home on Saturday mornings for $6.00. Deliveries are made on Saturday mornings before noon. Hattie can give you an idea of time-frame for your location if needed. For the first order of the season, please let us know the best place to leave your order if it is not on your front doorstep. There is a section for special instructions located on the bottom of the form for this purpose, as well as for any other notes, questions or instructions you may have.

To pickup your order, come to the Garden, located at 31341 Kendale Rd in Lewes, anytime on Saturday from 9 to 2, or email Hattie to arrange a separate time. Someone will be there to help you. We will also be open during that timeframe on Saturdays for casual shopping. While we keep most items in our inventory, some items may run out and it is best to purchase through the online order system if you want to be sure to get everything you want.
