Our Programs:
Farmer Scholarship Program
Each year, the HLFM gives scholarships to small farmers in the Delmarva to attend sustainable agriculture conferences. We have given farmers scholarships to attend conferences such as Pasa Sustainable Agriculture conference, the Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference, the Future Harvest CASA Conference, and the Mid-Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Convention. So far, we have donated over $37,000 in scholarships and grants that have enabled farmers to gain new skills and knowledge at these conferences. This program is essential in growing small farms.
SNAP EBT (Food Stamps) at the Market Bonus Bucks Program

One of our proudest achievements came in 2013 when the HLFM introduced SNAP at the market. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is the government program that helps low-income people and families buy the food they need for good health. The HLFM processes SNAP so that SNAP customers can have access to the local, fresh food at the Market. The HLFM matches Bonus Bucks tokens up to $20 for SNAP customers at every Market. Please help to make sure that fresh local food is available to everyone in our community by supporting this program.
WIC and SFMNP Coupons
We also take WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) coupons and SFMNP (Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program) coupons at our markets.
HLFM Food Pantry Purchase Program
Help the HLFM purchase fresh food from our local family farms to give to Delaware families in need! Our small farmers need help and so do the families in our community who use food banks. This unique HLFM program supports both by buying food from family farms and delivering that local food to area food banks. The HLFM will make sure that there is a balance of fresh veggies, fruit, eggs, milk, and bread to be delivered directly to the food banks from the farmers for distribution.
