BETHANY BEACH FARMERS’ MARKET – June 21, 2026

Celebrating our 20th season

     

Our twentieth year of our Bethany Beach Farmers’ Market has begun beautifully! Our vendors, volunteers, and customers were ready to enjoy.

Reminder – due to where Memorial Day fell on the calendar, we will have 15 Markets this year versus our normal 14…one more week of yummy local goodies. This Report repeats so you a get to know our Vendors.

WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT SUNDAY

We would like to extend a warm welcome to our new vendor: Carey Apiary and Farm which has joined our old favorites from last year. They will bring a new look for honey products, including raw honey, raw pollen, hand and lip salve, dog paw balm, leather conditioner and, of course, beeswax candles. Patrick, who is a Master Beekeeper, operates 50 hives while rapidly growing.

Bennett Orchards – Delicious blueberries are in and sell out  quickly. After we exhaust blueberry season, we have peach season that should go until near the end of the Market season.

Davidson’s Exotic Mushrooms – Expect some of the best from Kennett Square, Pa., (“Mushroom Capital of the World”). Portobello, Shitake, Cremini, Pom-Poms are some of the varieties plus soup mixes, powdered mushrooms, and more.

Nancy James Oysters joined us last year and was a favorite for oyster lovers. It was fun to see customers slurping a breakfast oyster or taking home a plate of shucked oysters prepared with their favorite toppings: lemon, cocktail sauce, horseradish…whatever suits your fancy.

An addition this year is Jordan and Tom are roasting oysters (called Oysters Rehoboth); they are cooked to order on the spot and have grand reviews. They plan to do this each week.
