Farmers Markets near Middletown, DE

New Castle

The New Castle Farmers Market at Airport Plaza has been a feast for the senses since 1954, with over 70 owner-operated shops spanning an indoor-outdoor market voted Best in Delaware. Its Pennsylvania Dutch section brings fresh Lancaster County meats, baked goods, and produce Thursday through Saturday, alongside a weekend flea market, hand-tossed pizza, and Philadelphia-style pretzels.

Delaware City

Open year-round at 86 Clinton St. in Delaware City, this market pairs farm vendors with a gallery space under one roof — an unusual combination for a small-town Delaware market. It was built to give area growers and artisans a place to sell direct and let residents shop, socialize, and support local producers without driving to Wilmington or Dover.

Newark

Run by New Castle County government, this farmers market sets up Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m., starting the first week of May, at Glasgow Park on Pulaski Highway in Newark. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, honey, flowers, and meat, and the market takes cash, debit and credit cards, and EBT.

Smyrna

Smyrna Farmers Market runs seasonally, June through October, at 106 W. Commerce St. in downtown Smyrna. Like most small Kent County markets, it centers on direct-from-the-grower produce and local artisan goods rather than a large vendor roster — check locally for the current week's lineup.

Salem

Salem City's market operates at 203 East Broadway in the seat of Salem County, one of New Jersey's most agricultural corners in the state's southwest. The county's farms run heavy on vegetables, so a summer stand here typically means field tomatoes, peppers, corn, and greens picked nearby. Salem sits close to the Delaware River farmland belt. Confirm the current season and days with the city or market organizers before you go.

Salem

Located at 723 Harmersville-Canton Road outside Salem, this market lies deep in Salem County, the most rural and agricultural corner of South Jersey.

Cecil County Farmers' Market sets up on South Main Street in North East, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., pairing area growers like Carlisle Produce and cheese with local crafters selling homemade goods.

The Bellefonte DE Farmers Market sets up Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., from mid-May through mid-September at 912 Brandywine Boulevard in North Wilmington.

Dover

Dover

Loockerman Way Farmers Market runs spring through fall at the corner of Loockerman and South Bradford streets in downtown Dover.

Confirm current market days directly, since borough markets adjust their schedule each season.
