Growing a Delaware Summer

This week’s issue celebrates the people who give the Cape Region its character, from the fields that feed us to the stages that entertain us, the kitchens that inspire us and the boardwalk landmarks that have become part of generations of family vacations.

Our feature story shines a spotlight on the women helping shape the future of Delaware agriculture, proving that innovation and tradition can grow side by side. Marissa Levy fills your calendar with another week of can’t-miss concerts, comedy and community events, while Kadet Kelly says goodbye, for now, to Funland’s original Haunted Mansion before it gets the makeover it’s earned. Hari Cameron reflects on capturing the flavors of the Delaware coast in a single dish inspired by sea rocket, shrimp and the fleeting beauty of summer. Zeke Ottemiller raises a glass to Dogfish Head’s latest collaboration with Middle Aged Dad Jam Band, while Pam George discovers creative coastal twists on one of America’s favorite comfort foods: the soft pretzel.

Ready to get out on the water? Nancy Sakaduski rounds up some of the best ways to experience the Cape Region by boat, whether you’re chasing fish, dolphins, sunsets or pirates. Lana Morelli closes the issue with the story of Pickwicke Salt+Flour, where two friends turned a passion for handcrafted sourdough into one of Lewes’ newest neighborhood favorites.

Whether you’re exploring the countryside, catching a show, hopping aboard a boat or taking one last scream through the Haunted Mansion, we hope this week’s issue inspires you to savor another unforgettable week at the Delaware beaches.
