Harbeson
Harbeson is the epitome of rural charm, with rolling farmland, wide-open skies, and a slower pace of life that appeals to those seeking space and tranquility. Named after Harbeson Hickman, an early settler whose family helped shape the agricultural roots that still define the area today. The area is dotted with family farms, produce stands, and rustic homesteads alongside modern farmhouses and custom estates. Harbeson sits in the heart of Sussex County’s farm belt and is home to one of the region’s largest poultry processing plants, making it a key contributor to Delaware’s agricultural economy. Architecture includes spacious farmhouses, modern new builds, and large lots perfect for customization. Its proximity to both Lewes and Rehoboth makes it a perfect retreat for those who want privacy without sacrificing access to beaches and shopping. Harbeson captures the essence of Southern Delaware’s pastoral beauty. Often called a “gateway town” because it sits at the crossroads between the beaches and the inland farming communities.
