Where to go during the winter months

We are recommending Dittmar Family Farms, run by Zach and Jenny Dittmar, as an option to be used during the off-season months for locally produced food. They utilize high tunnels to grow vegetables year-round. Zach and Jenny will be making weekly deliveries in the Lewes and Rehoboth area throughout the winter. There will be a weekly newsletter via email with information on what is being harvested each week so that you can order for pickup in the Lewes area. The pickup location will likely be the Lewes Park and Ride (Next to Lowes). Check out their website and sign up with your email address to receive news and updates.
