EAT LOCAL, TASTE FRESH WITH FAVORITES FROM FIFER ORCHARDS 14 at home with Schell Brothers
Oh, those first signs of summer! Is there a more perfect symbol than the simple, gorgeous strawberry? That small fragrant flower on its dense green leaves gives way to a luscious early summer fruit. When in season, strawberries are abundant at fruit stands and farmers markets, in pies, ice creams, and on local menus. One of the best-known farms for strawberries is Fifer Orchards in Camden-Wyoming.
Over 100 years ago, Charles Frederick Fifer began his farm with 300 acres and a passion for growing vegetables. Today, the fourth generation of Fifers continue to grow a diverse array of fruits and vegetables while supplying grocery chains, farmers markets, and community-supportedagriculture systems (CSAs), along with their own endeavors: a Farm, Country Store and CSA in Camden-Wyoming and Farm Market Cafe in Dewey. At the farm, the Fifer team hosts a variety of family-friendly events, from you-pick strawberries to fall and cider festivals.
