Definitely, farmers markets are not just for chefs anymore. In come the foodies who have a very discriminating palate. Nothing but the best for them. Getting up close and personal, the farmers love to show off their produce, so please ask questions!!
My friend, Cindi, drove all the way from Ocean City, Maryland, and Brenda Jones is a local. You will find Brenda at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market most every Saturday in the a.m. The market opens at 8 a.m. until Noon.
Historic Lewes Farmers Market is celebrating 10 years in the community.

Celebrate Summer’s Bounty by Growing Local, Buying Local and Eating Local!!
Please open the Historic Lewes Farmers Market website to get some of their delicious recipes…http://www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org/recipes.
Markets are rising in popularity because consumers can get fresh produce directly from the farm. The pick of the day, shall we say.
Learning about ground cherries. Had not seen them before. They have a papery husk, which encloses the small fruit. The fruit is small and orange. Ground cherries are part of the same family as the tomatillos. They are good in pies and they are also good with salsa and in a salad.
Never too early to start your day with fresh shucked oysters!!
Beautiful mushrooms!!
Peach Season and Bennett’s tent was full of beautiful peaches. The long line of customers waited patiently but the line went fast.

There were so many guests gathering for a special celebration, as the Historic Lewes Farmers Market celebrates its 10th year in the community. Buying directly from family farmers and vendors…getting up close and personal with them. Buying local food means it does taste better, it is fresh and therefore, more nutritious, as well. The Historic Lewes Farmers Market will be opening for Season 2015 on Saturday, May 9th, from 8 a.m. until Noon. Location? The Lewes Historical Society Complex. More info? Please visit http://www.historiclewesfarmersmarket.org
Our Progressive Dinner Party in honor of HLFM started with 3 groups divided by color. Our cards indicated the order in which we would visit each home. My group had the color Green!!
3 Star Chefs, 3 Historic Homes….and 10 Years of Being Fresh!! Let the party begin!! Each of these chefs prepared light fare at each house, accompanied by specially selected wines, beers, and champagne. Many of us did not know each other at the beginning of this journey…we were friends by dessert.
240 Second Street is the home of Nancy Staisey and Stan Divorski. We thank them for opening their gorgeous home to all of us. The Featured Chef was Hari Cameron, who is the Executive Chef and Owner of a(MUSE.) in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.
The patio of this home was beautiful and on a cool spring night in Lewes it was just wonderful.
Inside, Chef Hari Cameron was so busy. Hari always has time for his guests. He will stop what he is doing and give you complete attention, explaining everything that he is doing. I hope he takes this as a compliment, because it is.
As he got ready for us we proceeded to get drinks and some appetizers…meats, cheeses, and mustards.
Hari outdid himself with the following:
 
Homemade ricotta cheese, Davidson’s exotic mushrooms, and spring peas.
Beetroot soup, fresh goat cheese, radish, and herbs and spices. I am one of those that love beets, so, for me this was awesome! A little spicy with a lot of flavor.
Housemade carrot pasta, bay scallops, dill and watercress. Have you tried any of Hari’s pastas? I have tried his pumpernickel, and now this carrot one. The flavors are just incredible.
This first round was a total success….check my plate. There was a pickled okra that was so yummy!!
After 45 minutes the bell rang which meant we had to go to our next rotation….
231 Second Street is the home of Jody Ware and Bob Hyberg. Again, we thank the homeowners for opening their home. The Featured Chef was Bill Clifton, who is the Executive Chef of the Henlopen City Oyster House in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.
This home is generally referred to as the Daniel Rodney House. He was a relation to Caesar Rodney, signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was, also, a Governor and U.S. Senator for Delaware. It is a fine example of early Lewes architecture, circa 1800. Some accounts point to the late 1700s. One link is the inference that this house may have been where the body of Camptain James Drew, Commander of HMS DeBraak, laid in state in 1798.
Chef Bill Clifton offered us…
 
Henlopen City Oyster House is known for its oysters. They were the Main Event on this rotation. Chincoteague Island Oysters pack the full salt of the Atlantic. They are skinny and elongated…on ice, of course.
 
Springfield Farms braised lamb bacon, romaine, backyard jams, tomato jelly on brioche.
The Mediterranean Spring Rolls were very interesting…Calliope Farms fava bean hummus, cucumber, dried olives, sprouts and piri piri sauce.
Once again the bell rang and off we went to our next and final rotation.
228 Second Street is the home of John Mini and Robert Perri. Many thanks for opening your home to us. The Featured Chef was Aaron Berg, Executive Chef of The Buttery.
 
This was our last rotation on this very special evening. My Green Group was still going strong…plenty to drink and to eat. The kitchen was getting ready for us.
 
In the meantime, the following is what Chef Aaron Berg had for us…
Chapel Creamery Cheese Board with specialty crackers and sauces.
Shaved asparagus and arugula salad, deviled duck eggs, pickled rasperries and lavender honey. These deviled duck eggs were awesome and my group certainly loved them The pickled rasperry was definitely a most delicious touch.
Braised pork belly, sweet carrot puree, smoked cherry BBQ sauce. It was crispy, perfect addition was the carrot puree…a favorite of the evening.
Enjoying drinks outdoors we did….waiting for the Cake.
It was time to cut the Historic Lewes Farmers Market Anniversary Cake. Each home had a cake. HLFM thanked all of us for making this evening such an unforgettable night.
Funds from this event will help HLFM operate the market so that their local farmers and vendors can grow, support their families, and build the local food movement in Delmarva.
And, until next time….have a good one!!

The timing of the tulip’s appearance is an inexact science and to that end, the committees in charge of the annual Tulip Festival in Lewes, Delaware, decided to expand the time frame of the event to enhance the chances that the tulips will be visible during the event. The event dates span two week-ends, April 9th to April 18th, with special events planned on the first week-end.
Having said that and having visited Lewes, yesterday, Thursday….it might be better to come to see the tulips next week. It is what it is, mother nature does it again. But, if you like to have fun at the beach, by no means come on down.
This is the 6th Annual Tulip Festival. The Lewes Chamber of Commerce continues to partnership with Lewes in Bloom, The Lewes Historical Society, Lewes Parks & Recreation, the Zwaanendael Museum and the Historic Lewes Farmers Market to present this annual celebration.
