Contact / Location

A Brief History

David Duffield's father, Claude, bought the original parcel in 1930 and raised fruits and vegetables that were packed and sold to the market in Philadelphia. David took over after his father died in 1953 and bought more land beside it. When it got harder to support the family, his wife Mary began selling strawberries on the front porch. David then built a small market from four posts and a roof, and through several expansions it grew into the market, bakery and deli of today.

The farm is still family run, with the fifth generation growing up on it. Hayrides, birthday parties and educational field trips were added over the years, in both spring and fall.
