Good for You Market, Natural Food Market, Lewes, Delaware, Sangria Recipe
I was coming back from the Division of Motor Vehicles, after spending about 2 1/2 hours there. I was just saying to my friend, Trish, not too long ago, how efficient the DMV has been since they opened their new building in Georgetown, Delaware. She had told me her husband was there for hours; I just did not believe her until it happened to me.
Anyway, I was coming back to Rehoboth on Rt. 9, when I saw Good for You Market. I decided to stop because I had never been there and I had heard good things about it.
Good for You Market is located at 28841 Lewes-Georgetown Highway, Lewes, DE 19958. Tel. 302-684-8330. E-mail Address goodforu@comcast.net. Website www.weknowyum.com.
From Rt. 1, going west, it will only take you about 10 minutes or less. You cannot miss the building since it is very colorful.
Good for You Market began in 2006 as a market garden farm selling directly to restaurants and at area farmers markets. The rest is history and what you will find now is a beautiful food market. It combines everyday items with great gourmet ones as well.
The market has artisan cheeses, organic produce, grass-fed meats, specialty meats and poultry, dried fruits and nuts in bulk, international gourmet foods, organic coffee beans, ethnic specialties, traditional grocery items, and household cleaning and laundry items, as well. There is a Sandwich and Juice Bar.
The store holds cheese classes and the next and last one available until September will be on July 10 at 1:00 p.m. The subject? What Goes Around Becomes a Rind: Exploring the Outside of The Cheese!
“We’re so focused on the inside: we often forget the fascinating outside. This is the time to appreciate what goes into the outer edge of the wheel. Join the Good for You Market Cheesemonger as he explains the makeup of the beautiful outer edges of the cheese. You’ll learn all about washing, rubbing, rolling, bruising, and wrapping. In other words, how the cheese wheel ends up with that nice coating of wine, chocolate, wood ash, herbs, grape leaves, or straw patterns. They will prove that sometimes, “A rind is a terrible thing to waste!” Some rinds are edible and make a flavorful addition to broth, stock, soup, and sauces.”
For more information, please give them a call to the above telephone number.
Following is a Sangria Recipe, courtesy of Good for You Market:
1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
1 Lemon cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges
1 Lime cut into wedges
2 Tbsps sugar
Splash of orange juice or lemonade
2 Shots of gin or triple sec
1 Cup of raspberries or strawberries
1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice)
4 Cups Ginger Ale
Pour wine into a large pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine.
Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds, if possible), pineapple, then add sugar, orange juice and triple sec.
Chill overnight.
Add ginger ale, berries and ice just before serving.
Note: If you would like to serve it right away, then use a chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to really marinate each other.
Enjoy!!
Talk to you later….you know I will….

Thank you for your business and for your review. I am sad to report that Good For You Market is now closed for business. Andy, Owner.
OMG! im so sorry to hear you have closed. I just moved into the area and had planned to visit! Thanks for the business just the same. Warm regards for a valiant effort!
Yeah I really miss this market. I’ll always remember it fondly…
I am sorry about your store closing, however, it looks like other opportunities are unfolding.
I found you by researching organic foods in Georgetown, Delaware, where my mother is living and fighting throat cancer.
I have forwarded your info to my brother, who is living with her, in hopes she will reach out to you.
Thank you for the good you are doing.
All the best, and stay alert to the doors that are opening~ Please let me know if I can be of help.
