OUR MISSION

The Fifer family has farmed Kent County, Delaware for over 100 years, preserving farmland, orchards, and wildlife habitats. Committed to sustainable practices, we use regenerative agriculture to ensure quality and freshness. As a G.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practices) certified farm, we adhere to high standards for safe, sustainable food production, responsible resource use, and animal welfare. Our efforts focus on environmental preservation and waste reduction to support the long-term success of the farm.

Our farm is honored to grow safe, nutritious fruits & veggies for our family and yours to enjoy. Below are some of our regenerative ag stewardship practices:

Crop Rotation: Prevents nutrient depletion and reduces pests.
Strip Tillage: Conserves soil moisture and reduces carbon release.
Cover Crops: Control erosion and enrich soil.
Drip Irrigation: Reduces water usage and disease.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Combines strategies to control pests with minimal pesticide use.
Sanitation: Keeps growing areas weed-free.
Variety Selection: Chooses strong, suitable plants.
Pest Detection: Monitors and controls pests effectively.
Biological Controls: Uses beneficial insects.
Non-GMO: Uses only non-GMO seeds.
High Tunnels: Extend growing season and reduce disease.
Energy Reduction: Uses fuel-efficient equipment and LED lighting.

Our farm generates 110% of its energy needs from over 2,000 solar panels, providing clean, renewable energy for both the farm and the community.
