Duffield's Farm Market

Our take

The short version

Duffield’s Farm Market, in Sewell in Gloucester County, is a family-run South Jersey operation that pairs apple picking with an annual Apple and Food Truck Festival — and unlike many orchards in this research, the date for that festival is confirmed directly on the farm’s own site: Saturday, September 12, 2026. Beyond the festival, a corn maze, petting zoo, and fresh cider donuts round out the property’s fall offerings.

A confirmed date, clearly stated

The farm’s apple-and-food-truck-fest page states plainly: “Event Date: Saturday, September 12th, 2026,” with apple picking explicitly included as part of that day. That kind of direct, dated confirmation is genuinely useful for planning — there’s no guessing involved for anyone specifically targeting that Saturday.

What a festival visit costs

Pricing follows a tiered structure built around the hayride out to the orchard: $7.99 for the hayride alone, $20.99 for the hayride plus a small picking bag, or $35.99 for the hayride plus a large bag. That structure lets visitors choose their commitment level up front, rather than paying a flat admission and then separately for fruit — useful for a family deciding in advance how much apple-picking they actually want to do that day.

Regular hours, with a real gap

The farm’s general store keeps hours of Monday through Saturday, 9am to 7pm, closed on Sundays — a detail confirmed directly from the main site. What’s less clear is whether pick-your-own apple access continues on ordinary, non-festival days throughout the fall, or whether September 12 is effectively the headline apple-picking event for the season. The pages read for this record didn’t spell out regular PYO hours or pricing separate from the festival, so anyone hoping for a quieter, non-festival weekday visit should call 856-589-7090 to confirm apples are actually available to pick that day, rather than assuming the festival structure applies to every visit.

Beyond the apples

A corn maze and petting zoo are both confirmed activities at Duffield’s, giving families more to do than a straightforward picking trip. Cider donuts are also confirmed, a reliable draw regardless of what’s happening with the apple crop on any given visit. What isn’t listed in the record is a specific apple variety roster — so if a particular variety is the reason for the trip, that’s worth asking about directly.

Getting there

Duffield’s Farm Market is at 280 Chapel Heights Rd in Sewell, in Gloucester County’s South Jersey region. The coordinates on file are Sewell town-center estimates rather than a geocode of the Chapel Heights Road address.

Bottom line

Duffield’s Farm Market gives visitors something concrete to plan around: a confirmed September 12, 2026 Apple and Food Truck Festival with apple picking built in, tiered hayride-and-bag pricing, and family activities like a corn maze and petting zoo. The open question is what an ordinary weekday visit looks like outside that festival date — worth a quick call before assuming the same experience is available any day of the week.
