Land the Wickham family has worked since 1661, one of the oldest continuously cultivated farms in the country — but this research couldn't reach the farm's own site directly, so treat every detail here as needing a phone confirmation.
Wickham’s Fruit Farm sits at 28700 Main Road (Route 25) in Cutchogue, Suffolk County, on Long Island’s North Fork. Phone is 631-734-6441. This is one of the most historically significant properties in this entire research batch: the family has worked this land continuously since 1661, making it among the oldest continuously cultivated farmland in the country. At roughly 300 acres, it’s also one of the largest fruit operations on the North Fork. Rather than apples alone, U-pick here rotates through a genuine range of crops — strawberries, cherries, blueberries, apples, peaches, and pumpkins — spanning May through October. A farm stand and baked goods round out the offering.
Unlike most other listings in this research, Wickham’s own homepage wasn’t directly fetchable during this research pass. Instead, the details here — including the Monday-through-Saturday, 9am-to-5pm hours, closed Sunday — were pulled from web-search summaries of the farm’s site and from third-party North Fork tourism listings. That’s a meaningfully lower confidence level than a record built by reading the farm’s own page directly. Third-party summaries and tourism listings can lag behind a farm’s actual current schedule, so this record’s hours and other details should be treated as a starting point rather than a locked-in fact, more so than for orchards in this batch where the primary site was read directly.
Because U-pick spans strawberries through pumpkins across a May-to-October window, apples occupy just one part of a much longer rotating season here rather than being the sole focus. That’s worth knowing if you’re specifically chasing apples: the farm’s overall “open” season doesn’t tell you when apples specifically come into their own window. A call ahead to ask what’s currently ripe is a genuinely useful step at a farm like this, more so than at a single-crop apple orchard where the whole season is built around one fruit.
Farming continuously on the same land since 1661 is an extraordinary claim, and it’s presented in the record as a straightforward historical fact about the property rather than a marketing flourish — the kind of detail that gives a visit real context beyond just picking fruit. Combined with its size (roughly 300 acres, one of the largest on the North Fork), Wickham’s reads as an established, serious agricultural operation, which should give some confidence that the farm is well-run even where this record’s specific details are secondhand.
Given that this record’s information wasn’t sourced directly from the farm’s own site, a call to 631-734-6441 before visiting is more important here than at most other orchards covered in this research. Confirm current hours, what’s ripe for picking on your planned visit date, and whether apples specifically are in season, since the broader May-through-October window covers far more than just apples.
Wickham’s Fruit Farm brings genuine historical weight — continuously farmed since 1661 — and real scale to the North Fork, with a rotating multi-crop U-pick season that includes apples alongside several other fruits. Because this record couldn’t be built from the farm’s own site directly, treat every specific here, especially hours, as needing a phone confirmation before you commit to the drive.
