A long-established (since 1919) Central Delaware farm running both a full farm market and a separate u-pick program, with one easy-to-miss logistics detail: visitors need to bring their own wagon since the farm doesn't provide one.
Fifer’s (Fifer Orchards) is located at 1919 Allabands Mill Rd in Camden-Wyoming, Kent County, Delaware, with a phone number of (302) 697-2141. The farm store operates Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm, but u-pick hours specifically are posted daily on Facebook rather than fixed on the website. Both u-pick and pre-picked apples are available, along with a cider mill and cider doughnuts. Beyond apples, the operation includes wagon rides, a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, and farm tours. The farm has operated since 1919.
The record describes Fifer’s as running both a full farm market and kitchen, and a separate u-pick program that includes apples alongside its pumpkin patch and corn maze. That structural split — a retail market operating on its own fixed schedule, and a u-pick program with its own daily-posted hours — means a visitor’s experience can differ noticeably depending on whether they’re stopping by the market or specifically heading out to pick. The 1919 founding date makes this one of the longer-established farms in the Delaware set researched here, alongside T.S. Smith and Sons in Bridgeville, which the record describes as over 100 years old as well.
Of everything in this record, the most practically useful detail is also the easiest to overlook: Fifer’s doesn’t supply a wagon for hauling picked apples, so visitors need to bring their own. This is exactly the kind of logistics detail that doesn’t show up in a farm’s marketing photos or general description, but matters directly on the day of a visit — arriving without a wagon or cart could mean carrying a heavy bag of apples a real distance back to the car.
Unlike the farm store’s fixed Monday-Saturday, 10am-5pm schedule, u-pick hours specifically are posted daily on Facebook. That means the farm’s own website isn’t the most current source for whether picking is open on a given day — a visitor planning a same-day or next-day trip should check the farm’s Facebook page directly rather than relying on a general website schedule, since the two aren’t the same thing.
Wagon rides, a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, and farm tours round out the offering here, making Fifer’s read as more of a fall-destination farm than a picking-only stop. That’s a similar profile to Robinette’s Apple Haus in Michigan or other larger agritourism-style orchards researched in this broader project, where apple picking is one part of a bigger day trip rather than the sole activity.
No apple varieties are named, and no pricing — per pound or otherwise — is confirmed anywhere in the record. The only forward-looking statement about 2026 was “Stay tuned for our 2026 schedule!”, not an actual confirmed date, so no season-start or season-end date can be given here.
Fifer’s brings over a century of history and a genuinely full slate of fall activities beyond apple picking, but the record leaves real gaps on varieties, pricing, and firm 2026 dates. The two details worth acting on directly: bring your own wagon, since the farm doesn’t provide one, and check Facebook rather than the website for u-pick hours specifically, since those are posted daily rather than fixed.
Not stated with a firm date — the homepage's only forward-looking note was 'Stay tuned for our 2026 schedule!', not a confirmed opening date.
