Connecting Our Community Through Local Food
Nestled in the heart of Delmarva, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) is more than just a gathering spot—it’s a nonprofit mission to cultivate a resilient, equitable, and socially responsible local food system. By uniting farmers, families, and food access programs, HLFM strengthens community bonds, supports emerging growers, and champions the preservation of our region’s farmland.
Why the Historic Lewes Farmers Market Matters

Food Access & Equity
Through SNAP partnerships and donation programs, HLFM works toward an equitable distribution system, reducing food insecurity across Delmarva. -
Education & Stewardship
Workshops, farm tours, and community events teach the importance of preserving local farmland and minimizing food waste.
