Fifer’s is a local produce farm in Delaware. It is a family owned and run operation spanning multiple generations. We got an inside look at their apple portion of their production. Fifer’s uses camera imaging to sort their apples and then hand packages them. They then ship them to local schools and even to some major stores that want locally grown food like Walmart. We learned that Fifer’s has a Community Supported Agriculture program in which they box up a bunch of local grown produce and ship it all over the state. It was really interesting learning that apple trees are no longer the tall ones from when I went apple picking as a child, they resemble bushes more in my opinion. Fifer’s also has a farmer’s market right on site that anyone can shop at and I gladly took advantage of that to buy some apple cider and cider donuts. Fifer’s was one of my favorite field trips.
