Description
Duffield's farm market is owned and operated by Dave and Mary Duffield, their sons David and Dan, their daughter Debbie and daughter-in-laws RuthAnn and Tracy. The farm has been in the Duffield family since the 1930s when Dave's father, Claude, purchased the original parcel. He raised mostly fruits and vegetables which were packed and sold to the market in Philadelphia. He farmed the land until his death in 1953. It was at this time that David Sr. took over the farm and purchased additional land adjacent to his father's farm.
David continued to raise the same produce as his father. However, as it became increasingly difficult for David to support his family, Mary decided to grow strawberries on their front porch. As demand grew, David built a small market out of 4 posts and a roof and began to sell a variety of fruits and vegetables. Through several expansions, Duffield's market has expanded into the large store that it currently is including fresh produce, an in-store bakery and a deli.
The Duffield family still owns the 130 acres, which has now been enrolled in farmland preservation to ensure that it will always remain a farm. The Duffields raise over 35 varieties of vegetables and fruits, including peaches, strawberries, nectarines, and the always-popular Jersey sweet corn and tomatoes. Due to the growth of neighborhoods surrounding the farm, almost all of the produce that the Duffields raise is sold directly through the farm market. The Duffield family has been farming for almost 80 years and hopes to continue to do so for many generations to come!
