Farm to Table

From Our Fields to Your Fork

Eating fresh doesn't have to be difficult.

A Note from Delaware Grown

Take the opportunity to stop off at a local farmers’ market or an on-farm market where you can find a variety of fruits and vegetables in season. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with Delaware family farmers who take pride in growing the freshest produce. Many of our farms also offer community-supported agriculture programs where you can purchase a share and get a weekly box of produce, honey, and more. There is nothing like getting sweet corn or a peach picked in the morning and in your hand to eat just a few hours later.

If you can’t make it to the farm or the farmers’ market, look for Delaware Grown in your local grocery’s produce aisle. You might be surprised to find out that almost every lima bean in the frozen aisle was grown right here in Delaware.

Thank you for supporting Delaware’s family farms. More than ninety-nine percent of Delaware’s 2,300 farms are family owned. Our farmers produce a variety of agricultural products on 525,000 acres of farmland, including fruits and vegetables, corn, soybeans, poultry, and livestock. At the end of a hard day’s work, when Delaware farmers sit down to eat with their own family, they take pride in knowing that they helped feed thousands of families just like yours, up and down the Eastern seaboard.

Enjoy a piece of Delaware tradition as you enjoy the bounty our farm families provide.
