HLFM Wednesday Market
Located by the Crooked Hammock Brewery on King’s Highway near Dartmouth Drive and Rt. 1, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) Wednesday Market, runs every week from 8 to 11, from June through September.
We really enjoyed our first market last week at this location. It was wonderful to see everyone. If you haven’t had a chance to visit this market, we hope to see you there. It’s convenient and easy.
We will be bringing items exclusively harvested and grown at Hattie’s Garden. See below for a list of available produce for this week.
We will also bring a selection of plants to the market and encourage you to also check out Hattie’s Garden on Thursday or Saturday to visit our entire selection of plants.
Specialty cut flowers are just one week away and we will have zinnias, dianthus and cosmos and celosia in beautiful bouquets beginning Wednesday, June 16.
