Back at blueberry picking! Go prepared and bring a flat and white bag to stack your fruit…read more We went at peak blueberry season again this year. This time we brought our one and a half year-old daughter. Blueberries are her favorite food and we figured she'd have the time of her life. And learn about where blueberries come from... It seems like blueberries were slightly less abundant this year. We came in very peak season. Some bushes tasted better than others, which is probably true anywhere. We picked mostly in the blueberry bushes towards the back of the field. If you do that, the grass is very tall. We were climbing through 1 foot to 2 foot tall grass between the bushes (luckily, no ticks!) This year we also picked sunflowers. They were only $2 / stem. They are the giant sunflowers, though, so there's a lot of pollen, a lot of bugs, and they grow to be a massive size. I brought home 10 and they wilted very fast in the car. If you are planning to take some flowers home with you, think about bringing a bucket with water for the car ride. Overall, another fun experience. Will probably be back next year!

What isn't here? This farm has something for everyone!…read more We visited for a friend's kid's birthday party, but we've also been here before for strawberry picking. On a nice summer day, it's a great place to spend a few hours with family. If you have kids, they'll absolutely love it. There are pony rides, horse rides, wagon rides, bounce houses, and lots of farm animals like chickens, roosters, sheep, cows, horses, alpacas, and more. You'll also find tractors, haystacks, and all the little farm-themed things that make the place fun. Just remember--it's a farm, not a theme park! Depending on the season, you can pick strawberries, apples, berries, and other fresh produce. There's also live music, and the food options are surprisingly good. One thing I noticed was that they host a lot of private events. During our visit, I saw several birthday parties, a baby shower, and other family gatherings. They have spaces that you can rent for different occasions. Parking: Plenty of parking is available. It's not paved, but there's lots of space on grass and gravel, and we had no trouble finding a spot. Overall, this is a wonderful family-friendly farm with plenty to do. Whether you're visiting for fruit picking, a special event, or just a fun day outdoors, it's definitely worth a visit.

Denville rocks! It has fantastic food choices and friendly people. One of our favorite places after…read morechurch is the farmers market. Plenty of locally grown produce. Excellent prices. Great variety too. They also have cheese, meat, soup, honey, mushrooms, pickle and cake vendors too. If you get hungry, you can get a cooked snack a grab seat at the picnic table. Parking in the lot is looney. The lines aren't clear and traffic flow is ad lib. We park on the street since we have see close calls in the lot. Love fresh foods and want to support local businesses? This is a good way to get that done.

We started coming to this Farmer's Market because it can be a little more convenient for us than…read morethe one in Morristown...and both are on Sundays so sometimes it's a matter of 'ummm, we need corn on the cob NOW!!!'. I love fresh produce and just about everything I buy here I can cook on the grill (I pride myself on ecellent grilling skills!)...from peppers to corn to green beans to asparagus-all are better grilled. Stop for some fresh fish, beef, chicken, etc and I have a perfect summer meal. The Denville market is a bit smaller than the Morristown one, but they still have great vendors a number of which are not over at Morristown. The location for this market is very convenient with lots of parking-and it's an easy in and out. Can't wait til June!

With lots of local bakers, farmers, cheese makers, coffee vendors, lotion or soap bar, Popsicle stands, protein suppliers and more, you'll find everything you need and more here. I was even surprised to find a distiller here and it's fantastic! Bought me a bottle of whiskey as a souvenir! Street parking is available. And come early on the hot days. Enjoy!

People must be starved for severely-overpriced artisanal cheese and baked goods, because the crowd…read morehere on this rainy Sunday was off the hook. Parking is a nightmare; try getting a street spot a couple of blocks away, as the muni lot nearby is a demolition derby waiting to happen. I would expect to pay more than supermarket prices for the cheese, bread and veggies here, but these vendors are just gouging with their prices, like $15 for s medium loaf of bread, $24 for a modest wedge of gouda, and $15 for one crab cake. If they picked up their tents from upscale Summit, and dropped them into a town like Roselle Park, I guarantee these astronomical prices would drop like rocks. Try Scotch Plains farmers market on Saturdays instead.

When you first see Ashley Farms, you have an intuition that this is a great find. The sign outside…read moresurrounded by Black Eyed Susan's is just beautiful. We've passed this place often, but my wife and I finally had an opportunity to stop in this week. Being naturally drawn to sweets, the pies and the cakes were the first things we looked at. What an amazing selection! If you like pies, that alone is enough reason to come here. Since it's almost Fall, we bought a pumpkin cream cheese roll. It was absolutely amazing! We also picked up a couple of apple cinnamon scones for breakfast the next morning. We have friends who say the tomatoes here are the best around, and that's saying something since we know all the places with great NJ tomatoes! Now that we've been here, Ashley Farms will be a regular stop for us! Give it a try!

For Thanksgiving this year we decided to get a fresh turkey from here and some of their "homemade"…read morepies. Turkey was good, but the pies (Pecan and Pumpkin) were absolutely the worst pies I've ever eaten. Actually, we couldn't even eat them they were so inedible. The pecan had zero taste and was wrapped in plastic which means they probably buy them cheap and sell for a huge profit. Pumpkin pie had a very rubbery texture and again zero taste. We were so embarrassed as no one ate the pies. We threw them in the ditch next to our house. Totally, totally disgusting. Save yourself a ton of money and get yourself a $2.99 Mrs. Smith's pie from the grocery store and a pumpkin pie from Costco. A fraction of the price and at least they're edible!

He explained that the farm is certified organic which was great to hear, and to our surprise, their prices were super affordable! I even picked up a bar of lemongrass & lavender soap while I was there. Ruth rang us up and answered any other questions that we had, and an itemized receipt was then emailed to me. We expect to return very soon to restock on our seasonal goods. They are open every day (M-F 2pm-6pm, S-S 10a-4p). Bring a tote bag, or you can purchase one there.
