Delaware Grown Farmers Markets Break Records

The Delaware Department of Agriculture is encouraging everyone to take part in Delaware Grown Week to make 2025 another record-breaking year for Delaware Farmer’s Markets. With sales of $4.5 million, 2024 was the best year yet but we know how much our markets are worth – at least $5 million! Make your visit to Delaware’s famer’s markets even more memorable by being a part of this historic year as our Farmer’s Markets look to top $5 million in annual sales for 2025.

“Delaware Grown expands access to fresh, local food and strengthens our commitment to nutrition and food security,” said Governor Matt Meyer. “Farmers markets and agritourism are about more than supporting small businesses. When you choose food grown in the First State, you connect with your community, reduce food miles, and enjoy fresh, seasonal produce that’s good for you and the local economy.” Governor Meyer has declared May 18 – May 25, 2025 as Delaware Grown Week.
