Local Highlights

Hi, I'm AnneMarie! I'm a lifestyle and family photographer serving Wilmington, Newark, Hockessin, and the Delaware beaches.

What is the best apple orchard near Wilmington, DE to visit this fall? There are indeed many beautiful farms to visit near Wilmington, DE but it all depends on what you’re looking for. The most popular large orchard nearby is probably Linvilla Orchards or Milburn Orchards for all the many fall family festivities that feel more like a carnival and require admission fees. However, if you’re looking for more traditional fall family outing to simply pick your own apples and pumpkins, I recommend the following apple orchard near Wilmington, Delaware.

The Best Pick-Your-Own Orchard near Wilmington, DE to Visit This Fall.

#1 Best Orchard near Wilmington DE is Banard’s Orchard

Barnard’s Orchard located at 1079 Wawaset Road, Kennett Square, PA is a generational family-owned farm that has been around for almost three centuries! Barnards offers pick-your-own pears, apples, peaches, and pumpkins. It also offers zinnias during the summer months. You can read more about the farm’s rich and unique history dating back tot he Revolutionary War here. My favorite variety of apples is honeycrisp, but the farm offers many varieties and different vegetables as well.

Honest photographs to help us remember.

As a mother of three and a Delaware family photographer for nearly two decades, I know how quickly these seasons pass—and how much effort it can feel like to even attempt family photos.

My sessions are guided with intention and designed for real families: kids who move, parents who worry, and moments that don’t need to be fully controlled to be meaningful. I focus on presence over perfection, creating images that reflect how your family actually shows up in this season—energy, noise, and all.
