    Best homemade fried chicken we had. My wife and I were on our way home from Norfolk, VA to…read moreBaltimore and we found this hidden gem (market/deli) through Yelp reviews. Ladies cooking the chicken were moms and grandmas. We got bake apples, coleslaw and potato wedges, along with a 20 piece chicken. Excellent dinner. Plus being a market they had cold A&W diet root beers in bottles for us. They also had other cold beverages available, including beer. Recommend this place for families. A park with picnic tables in nearby, next to post office.

    This review is for the fried chicken ONLY. The rest of the food in the counter looks just fine, but…read moreI've never had it. Hometown Pride, a seemingly modest country store, hides a wonderful secret. This place has, bar none, the best fried chicken you will ever have in your life. Dead serious. I live in Washington DC, but whenever I'm on the Shore visiting the parents I order a 20 piece to take home back with me. I have no idea what those ladies behind the counter do their poultry, but it's pure magic. Salty and crispy and reheats really well in the oven. I've eaten at most of the upscale-country places here in DC and none of them hold a candle to the fried chicken at Hometown Pride. If you're passing through the Shore on 50 and can make a 15 minute detour to East New Market, do yourself a favor and grab some of their chicken. You will not be sorry. Also, for some reason the Yelp map puts this place in Secretary, which is way off. Use Google Maps or something else instead.

    Island Foods punches above its weight in terms of offerings. It's a small store in a small beach…read moretown, but they had a pretty respectable amount of grocery options available. First off, yeah, they know lots of folks are going to want alcohol, and I think half of the aisle endcaps displayed something alcoholic. While they had a lot of classic and domestic products, they do offer a decent amount of local beer, wine, and pre-mixed cocktails (even though the Untappd app said the local beer I was looking for wasn't sold anywhere in a 25 mile radius, Island Foods had it!). We came the week of Pony Penning, and the store makes a couple dozen cakes (see picture) to celebrate the occasion. The produce aisle is small, but they have enough that you could get a decent variety of fruits and vegetables for your stay. There's a pretty decent selection of meats here. I don't remember seeing too much non-frozen seafood, but I imagine it's hard to compete with the fresh catch with specialty fish markets on the island. I was pleasantly surprised to find several Gardein products, which meant vegetarian Child #1 could have some imitation meats and seafood if he wanted a protein similar to what the rest of his omnivorous family would get. Things are pricey. Inflation's here to stay and it's a touristy beach town. Considering that, it's not too bad. The folks at the register were very friendly. Whatever foodstuffs you're looking for, it's a good bet that Island Foods has it.

    Great little grocery store. Had a great selection and found some great things to try. Very…read moreconvenient and nice staff.

    Marvelous Produce (Homestead Market) is a fresh fruit and vegetable market and farm located in…read moreSeaford, DE. They sell amazing products in their retail farm stand and also offer wholesale produce to several grocery stores and restaurants on the Delmarva peninsula. This locally owned and operated business was originally started as a way for founder Shane Marvel to pay for college. Nine short years later it is a way for him to support his family and give back to the community. In business since 2013 they have expanded from a one acre produce production farm  to a 40 acre operation to include 40 acres of grain production in 2022. Their quality produce and unmatched customer service resonates throughout the community! We have been buying produce from them since returning to Delaware in 2020 and are glad there is fresh local produce to buy. We love supporting locally owned and operated businesses. They also have locally sourced products on the shelves from scrapple, sauces, and homemade Smith Island Cakes. So, if you love a good farmers market and love to support local businesses then look no further than Marvelous Produce!

    It is difficult to drive a stretch of highway in Delaware without seeing a produce market. Similar…read moreto Starbucks in the big city. While you see thousands of watermelons, tomatoes, ears of corn and more the true test is the taste, a little hard to do when you passing by market after market. With delivery AND a loyalty card built in - how can you beat that? Having purchased huge peaches and plums, my first thought it was appearance is always better than the taste. Not in this case. I stuffed all the produce in the refrigerator in a bag, as I seem to be a magnet for fruit flies and produce left out on the counter. Two weeks later, TWO WEEKS LATER, in an excursion to the beach, we grabbed the fruit and headed out. It was as it was picked yesterday. I needed multiple napkins for one peach and plum as the juice exploded with every bite. Yes it was that good. Add to this the generosity, cordiality, and hard work you sense coming off the Marvels' when you visit their stand, having experienced the generosity and abundance of the Mums in the Fall season, and Mums that added to the decor of a school Homecoming, you see based on the amount of produce, the quality of the produce, and the service you receive, this is one of the best finds that make the state Delaware. Sounds like a boast that is larger than life and larger than reality, but try out Marvelous Produce once, you will remain in the same category.
