Frequently asked questions

What's in season right now in Delaware?

It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak mid-May through late May; sweet corn peak early July through mid-August; apples peak mid-August through late September.

When does the market season start in Delaware?

The first local crops (radishes) show up around early April, and the boards fill from there.

Where can I go u-pick in Delaware?

We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Delaware, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
