It’s June, which means I get to write one of my favorite annual posts about where and when you can shop at Delaware’s farmers markets. I love spotlighting the fact that, despite record numbers of people moving here for lovely new and well-established communities and low taxes, agriculture thrives throughout our state. Regardless of where you live, fresh fruits and vegetables and in many cases fine meats, seafoods and dairy products are just a short drive or walk away.
Here’s a list of where and when to go this summer and early fall. I’ve listed web addresses and Facebook pages for most markets but if you have additional questions you can contact Kathy Jackson at 302 698 4625 and at Kathy.Jackson@delaware.gov.
