Locavores Love Our Marketplace
Are you a local eater?
Do you strive to fill your table with the bounty our region
has to offer?
As a local eater, you are receiving food at its freshest
and most nutritious. You are eating seasonally, capturing
the food at its most delicious. You are also preserving
farmland and choosing an option that is better for the
environment…thanks to the smaller carbon footprint.
You are also supporting your local economy and creating
a community. Did you realize the power of a commitment
to local food?
Become a CSA Member
at Doe Run, coffee from Little Goat Roasting Company,
artisan gelato from Gotta Lotta Gelata and breads from
De La Coeur Café & Boulangerie.
This is just a taste of our lineup.
In addition to the great foods to take home and eat, you can
also eat at the farm every Wednesday from 11 am – 2 pm.
We have partnered with some of the yummiest local
food trucks to offer up lunch and treats until our season
ends in October.
This season, we would like to fortify your role as a
local eater by offering you new edible opportunities.
Visit Coverdale Farm Preserve in Greenville, DE on
Wednesdays, 11 am – 6 pm and Saturdays, 9 am – 2 pm
to shop at our delicious Farm Market. Not only are we working to dress your table in the height of
the current season, we are looking ahead to Thanksgiving.
Since June we have been pasture raising heritage and
traditional breeds of turkeys for your holiday table. We will
be bringing you information later this fall on how you
can crown your Thanksgiving table with a beautiful
Coverdale Farm bird.
In addition to our farm-grown produce and pasture-raised
eggs, we have partnered with many great neighboring
purveyors to bring you Walt’s Swarmbustin’ Honey,
Crisp & Co. Pickled Vegetables, cheeses from The Farm The next time you make your grocery list, consider a stop
at Coverdale as the perfect market for amazing local fare
grown, raised, and crafted just miles from your home.
We look forward to feeding you and your family!
