Chef Jordan Drew Demos at 10am |
|
At 10 am in the demo tent, Chef Drew from Chesapeake & Maine will be representing the Dogfish family with a great demonstration of their oyster program. He will be presenting three different oysters: Arrowhead, Orchard Point, and one variety from Maine, plus Seaquench Mignonette and a Golden Beet cocktail sauce. It’s Delaware meets Maine! Surely this will be an early fall demo not to be missed with some delicious sampling to boot |
|
Note for dog-owners: Please watch your dog at all times. Dogs must be kept under control on a tightly held, non-retractable leash inside the Market to ensure the safety of all customers. The HLFM asks that dogs not be allowed to interact with other dogs inside the Market. Please also ensure that your dog does not urinate on any signs, trash cans, tents, tables, or safety cones inside and around the Market. Thank you for your help.

PARKING:
We strongly encourage you to bike or walk to the Market if you are able. Parking is very limited. The circle in front of the Fred Thomas Building at the foot of Dupont will be open for accessible drop-off and pick-up. There is additional parking in the Lewes Elementary School main parking lot, right next to George H.P. Smith Park. The entrance to the Park is next to the barn. Please note that there is a short slope at this entrance. Beebe Hospital also generously allows Market customers to park in its outside parking lot (far rear near entrance to the Park.) If you park there, follow the path to the right around the pond and you will reach the Market area.

HLFM's Food Pantry Purchase Program—
Help Your Favorite Farmers
and Local Food Pantries
|
HLFM customers who want to help feed the local community with fresh local food may purchase produce, meats, milk, and other food from growers at the Market to donate to the local Food Pantries, including Epworth and Casa San Francisco Food Pantries, every Saturday. It’s so easy--all you have to do is let the vendor know what you want to donate or give $5, $10, $25 to the grower and ask them to put together a selection for the food pantries. The farmer gets your sale, and the food pantry gets the local food. We thank you for your generosity! |
|
SNAP, WIC, SFMNP—
HLFM Matches up to $20 of SNAP

|
The Market will continue to match SNAP benefits up to $20 per market, per customer. You can find the SNAP tent inside the Market with volunteers to process your SNAP/EBT and give you the HLFM tokens that can be used at market all season long. WIC and SFMNP benefits are also welcome at the Market. |
