Wickham's
Fruit Farm is located on 28700 Route 25 in Cutchogue,
Long Island, about 90 miles east of New York City. Wickham's fruit is
grown on some of the oldest continually cultivated land in the country,
much of the farm dating from 1661. Wickham's Fruit
Farm is an historic, bicentennial farm, beautiful to behold against the
sparkling waters of Peconic Bay.
It is one of the largest farms on the
North Fork, approximately 300 acres, of which 200 acres are in fruit, all of
which is retailed at the farm. The emphasis is on fruit of the highest
quality, and all fruit sold is guaranteed.
A very large proportion of Wickham farm land has been placed in Suffolk
County's Farmland Preservation program, which means that for generations
to come, this land is "forever agriculture."
Wickham's
Fruit Farm is a family
enterprise which has taken pride in producing and
marketing the choicest of fruit. The retail market is open usually
from May through December from Monday through Saturday. Wickham's is
closed on Sundays, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.
School and private groups can
schedule a tour of the farm to pick fruit in season, enjoy the scenic
beauty of a farm on the water, observe a live working beehive, and when
possible, observe our old historic cider press.
Families may pick their own
strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries, apples, peaches and occasionally
other crops such as pumpkins.
