Harvest Market
Harvest Market was founded in 1995 to provide Hockessin and the surrounding communities with a broad selection of wholesome and nourishing foods, nutritional supplements and related products. Now in our third location, we have expanded to offer one of the region’s best selections of natural foods—or what our great-grandparents simply called “food”. In 2013, we opened the Harvest Market Kitchen which produces a variety of grab-and-go soups, salads, sandwiches, sides, sweets and more—all made from scratch with the same high quality ingredients that we sell in the rest of our store.
Harvest Market’s product guidelines are strict. Like many independently owned natural foods stores we do not sell foods with artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Our emphasis has always been to stock the broadest selection of organically grown foods. Locally produced and Fair Trade products are likewise important to us.

Purpose
We sell and prepare food that is vibrant, delicious and joyful. We promote sustainable products for our bodies and our homes.

We foster a workplace where we treat one another with kindness, respect and an instinct to collaborate and grow.
Vision
Our vision is to be a welcoming place for all people to access healthy food while providing excellent customer service. As a trusted member of the community we have created a place where people can work and shop to be a part of something bigger. We do not just “sell stuff.” We have purpose.
