Only a few weeks before the Historic Lewes Farmers Market opens for the season. I am so excited they are opening a little earlier this year on May 11, 2013. Last year we had to wait until May 26th for fresh local produce.
One of my favorite events of the year is a benefit to support the Lewes Farmers Market called "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" on May 4th, one week before the Market opens for the season. The evening begins with cocktails at the Inn at Canal Square in downtown. Then, progressive dinner parties will be held at beautiful homes all over Lewes. This will be the third time Bill and I have attended this event and we always have a great time and wonderful food.
We will then get a preview of one of this year's vendors - Black Hog Farmstead - who is hosting the Lewes Chamber of Commerce Mixer at the farm on May 8th, a few days before the Farmers Market opens.
This is the perfect time of year in Lewes and everywhere in Coastal Delaware.
