Hattie’s Garden will be open this week on Wednesday, October 26 and Thursday, October 27 from 10 to 2 for the sale of produce, meat, eggs, cheese, and fish. We will also be at the Fall Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) at Lewes Elementary School Parking Lot parking lot at 820 Savannah Rd. in Lewes on Saturday from 9 to 12.

Yes, we still have gorgeous young ginger to offer you. Now is the time to freeze this delicacy for the year. Receive $2 off per lb. for purchases of 1 lb. and over.

To freeze ginger, wash well and simply freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag. It will easily keep until next season. Take it out of the freezer and grate it for use in all your ginger friendly dishes. This young ginger need not be peeled and is not stringy or fibrous — simply delicious, bright and mild and sweeter than the brown gnarled roots commonly available at the supermarket.

We will have a small harvest of Swiss chard, dwarf Siberian kale and red radishes for our Wednesday and Thursday customers in addition to our salad ingredients of young lettuce, arugula and microgreens. Don’t forget to pickup some nice butterball potatoes.

In addition to welcoming back 302 Aquaponics last week, this Thursday we will be bringing back Dittmar Farms free-range chicken. We will have available whole birds, half birds and leg/thigh pieces.

What’s Available from Hattie

The following freshly harvested produce is available at Hattie’s Garden on Wednesday, October 26 and Thursday, October 27 from 10 to 2.
