Hattie’s Garden Off-Season Delivery/Pickup Service is open for the 2019-2020 season, and you can place your order online now. It is our hope this service helps fill in those cold winter months with lots of produce and artisan foods from the many local vendors you are used to seeing at Historic Lewes Farmers Market and Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market.

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.

December Noteworthy Items

Totem Farms is offering a great selection of custom evergreen wreaths. For a custom wreath, contact Rob directly at 302-930-1840.

Hattie’s farmer friends in Connecticut who own Maple Bank Farm, had a bumper crop of apples this year and we are pleased to offer this Indo/Golden Delicious hybrid introduced in the U.S. in 1948. Mutsu, or Crispin is one of a small number of varieties which really is dual purpose — being both pleasant as a dessert apple and versatile in the kitchen.

This year we are introducing two new vendors. We have pasture raised, free range chicken through Dittmar Family Farms, and an assortment of desserts, hearty soups, hummus with a Mediterranean accent from Nancy’s Cafe.

Jen’s delicious sweet and savory pies from Flying Squirrel Garden are also available in gluten-free options.

Wednesday Noon Deadline

While the deadline for placing your order is Wednesday at noon, 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, and an estimated total.

Important: If you do not receive your confirmation email, we do not have your order. Please email us as soon as possible to remedy.

If you have changes or additions, email us before the Wednesday noon deadline. You can also submit another order. Just indicate in the comment box that this is an additional order for the week.

A final invoice, with instructions how to pay for the order, will be emailed to you Thursday or Friday.

If you need more information on how the service works, please see our Delivery Page.
