Gov. Matt Meyer has designated May 17-23 as Delaware Grown Week in the First State.

“Agriculture is Delaware’s number one industry, and our family farms play a vital role in the prosperity of the state’s economy, communities, and environment,” Gov. Meyer said in the proclamation.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to Delaware’s farm families, farm workers, community organizations, and agriculture companies for their hard work, dedication, and vital role in feeding our communities.”

Many First State farmers markets and farm stands are already open for the season. In 2025, registered Delaware farmers markets recorded more than $5 million in sales for the first time.
