Our Story

Our Story In Caroline County near the upper reaches of Marshy Hope Creek is the 36-acre Seaberry Farm that is the home of Drs. Richard and Wenfei Uva and their two children, Pearl and Isaac. Both Richard and Wenfei received their doctorate degrees from Cornell University - Richard in horticulture and Wenfei in horticultural business management and marketing. After 16 years of studying and working at Cornell University, conducting research and teaching, we decided to travel south with our two young children and relocated to Federalsburg, Maryland to start a farm in order to apply our horticultural and marketing expertise and do what we love to do.

Over the last several years since Rick planted our first tree in 2006, we have transformed what was formerly a corn and soybean field to a diverse variety of specialty fruit and cut flowers. Today, you can see acres of beach plum heavy with green, orange and purple fruit, hanging from dark red-brown stems in late summer, trees and shrubs with colored stems, berries and flowers cut for floral design use, scrumptious peaches and plums harvested throughout the summer, and beautiful annual and perennial flowers that Wenfei uses to make exquisite bouquets for our retail markets.

When you come to visit, you might even see Isaac on his little green tractor or Pearl catching butterflies around the farm.
