Caveat: I actually typed this up before the Spark came out this week. So no, I'm not just copying content from Spark. Their list does have more state-wide markets, so consult the Spark if you're looking for a farmers' market not mentioned here. Actually... I found at least one mistake in their list (the Carousel Park market is definitely on Fridays, not Mondays).
The Wilmington Farmers' Market takes place every Wednesday afternoon, on Rodney Square, 10am-2pm. Now through mid-October.
The Little Italy Farmers' Market takes place every Saturday, 9-1pm, at 4th & Bancroft, now through late September. There is also one in Cool Springs every Thursday from 3-8, but it apparently won't start until mid-July.
The Newark Farmers' Market takes place every Sunday, at the Newark Natural Foods Co-op, 10am-2pm. Now through late November.
The U of D Farmers' Market (including ice cream from the new UD Creamery) takes place every Thursday, next to the Morris Library, 11am - 2pm. Now through end of summer.
The Carousel Park Farmers' Market takes place every Friday (not Monday, as the Spark makes it appear), from 2-6pm, on the Limestone Rd. side of Carousel Park. Now through mid-September. [Ed. note: patronize the Maiale guy. He puts his heart and soul into those sausages. Patronize the produce place on the far right (not the Amish, the other ones) ONLY if they have something you really need. In other words, don't be like me and buy expensive blueberries because you really just want to patronize farmers. Because the rudest little girl I have ever met in three decades on this earth works there. It was a half hour before closing, and her every interaction with us said "You are preventing me from leaving here and going out with my friends". Everything she did from having to bark out the price of the unmarked blueberries, to 'allowing' me to give her my money (after her sister at the cash register walked away from us to do something else), to saying not a word of thanks but angrily yanking my money out of my hands, broadcast that we were putting her out by buying. Never again].
The Kennett Square Farmers' Market takes place every Friday from 2-6pm, at the middle of the main street in Kennett. Now through October.
For beachgoers, there's a farmer's market in Lewes every Saturday from 8-12 (probably the most interesting/scenic in the state, but also one of the most expensive, frankly), and a farmers' market in Rehoboth every Tuesday from noon-4, next to the Commerce building on lower Rehoboth Ave.
