Delaware is home to many local farms and markets selling locally sourced produce and fresh products ready to go from farm to table. Now, these places need our business more than ever.
In this time of uncertainty for many industries, local farms are being hit hard. Many small farms rely on local restaurants and farmer’s markets for business, which are not operating as usual due to coronavirus restrictions.
As a result, many fresh food businesses are adapting to the times and are offering unique pickup and delivery programs. Instead of waiting in long lines at the grocery store, here’s a list of small local farms to support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
