About this event

Lewes — Delaware's first town, the historic 'First City of the First State' on the Delaware Bay where the Cape Henlopen State Park preserves one of the East Coast's most botanically unique barrier spit ecosystems, where seaside goldenrod, beach plum, rosa rugosa, native salt marsh wildflower, tulip poplar, black locust, and diverse coastal plain flora yield honey varietals of exceptional rarity and terroir — found only in Delaware's narrow coastal zone between the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay — is home to a small but passionate beekeeping community serving both year-round residents and the thousands of visitors who make Lewes one of Delaware's most beloved coastal destinations. This October market at Lewes Beachfront Park celebrates Sussex County's coastal honey heritage through producers from across the Delmarva Peninsula's coastal zone, competitive honey shows featuring Delaware's rare coastal mono-varietals including beach plum, seaside goldenrod, and rosa rugosa classes, guided tastings pairing Cape Henlopen honey with local saltwater taffy and artisan coastal cuisine, educational programs on the challenges and rewards of beekeeping in coastal barrier environments subject to salt spray and periodic flooding, and demonstrations connecting the ecological significance of Cape Henlopen's rare coastal habitats with the extraordinary honey varietals they support.
