Description: In 1919, a Virginia farmer named Charles F. Fifer fell in love with the land of central Delaware. Upon discovering the moderate climate and hearty soil of this agriculturally rich region, he bought 3 farms - one near Milford, one near Rising Sun, and one a 1/2 mile west of Wyoming - and moved his family to a new home and a new life. Soon, he was growing apples, peaches, pears, and grapes. These were shipped to faraway points from the Wyoming train station.
Today, the farm operation covers 2500 acres, and includes apple, peach, pear, nectarine and plum orchards, sweet corn, asparagus, soybeans, lima beans, peas, pumpkins, tomatoes, cut flowers, green beans and grain crops along with several other crops that are grown exclusively for the Fifer stores.
