Delancey's has provided local Cape May County residents and visitors to the area with fresh produce, fruit, vegetables, seafood, corn, plants, flowers, and more for almost 80 years.
They closed for the season back on Sept 2, 2025, but when this summer ends, so too will Delancey's Farmer's Market time serving South Jersey customers.
