Fortunately I didn't have a place to keep them so I bought a couple of pounds but they had so little or no meat in them so they weren't good for anything except chicken soup or broth but otherwise high quality stuff. They had an awful lot of them so I maybe should have seen it coming.

This cute little farm stand is family owned and operated. It's self serve and based on the honors system. Cash and venmo are accepted and instructions on how to pay are right on the table. No lie. I wasn't ready for the freshness! As soon as we got home we snacked on the crunchiest snap peas EVER. The radish were crispy and spicy. Broccolini risotto exploded with flavor (we cooked this at home). The colorful heirloom tomatoes had so much juice and flavor. Like a REAL tomato. Absolutely in love with this organic farm stand and how fresh everything is. Expect to come in and not find the exact things you got last time since they pick what's seasonal and ready. Love the variety and the burst of flavor from everything that's grown here. A new favorite gem!

Phenomenal experience. I went on a weekday in August and it was not at all crowded. Everyone I…read morespoke to was extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful with directions and any questions I asked. I was there for the peaches. They provided a box or bag for the fruit which is all priced by the pound. There was no additional fee for the box. I picked 10 peaches, which came out to $22. On entry you purchase a $5 voucher which can be redeemed towards any purchase which I think is great. After picking peaches I enjoyed sitting on the spacious patio with an ice cream and a walk up to see the farm animals. If you're going for an animal encounter I will say these animals seemed to enjoy distance, but were still lovely.

Upon arrival each person pays a $10 cover charge that you receive a ticket for use in the country store in the amount of $10, so technically you get your money back as long as you buy something. Honestly the visiting experience was only okay, I am not sure I'd go back or recommend it BUT this is tempered by the fact that I did buy the biggest, prettiest mum and I may go back again for another one next year. I definitely have the nicest mum in all of Jersey City. I think it was around $20 for my huge mum and I was going to buy some apple cider donuts, but when I saw they were charging $18 for 12 donuts I put the package back on the shelf.

When I did our tour, I received replies and confirmations immediately. Upon arriving, you are greeted by the farm owners/tour guides, Steve and Leda. They are both knowledgeable, cordial, funny, and the entire tour was educational, fun, and wonderful. Aside from alpacas, you'll also be introduced to their horses and donkeys. After the tour, we went through their gift shop, which had everything alpaca. From socks, to hats, and even ribbons of their award winning alpacas. As the pictures and videos will show, I highly recommend this tour and know that you will be thoroughly impressed.

If you're in the mood to take a little road trip out of the city and you love alpacas (and who…read moredoesn't), this is a fun activity! It's a little family farm that offers farm tours for $15/person which you need to arrange beforehand. Leda and Steve, who run the farm, are the absolute nicest and you can tell they really love and care for their alpacas (as well as their two Icelandic horses). They have so much beautiful land to run around on and they're like part of the family, it seems. We were able to go into the girls pen and say hello. The alpacas are friendly and curious but don't necessarily like to be touched so they're very clear about how to approach them. After spending a good amount of time in there learning about them, we went into their farm store where they sell the yarn from the alpacas and various alpaca fleece items. It's a really fun and wholesome experience and, if you have other things to do out in that area, totally worth the time and the drive!

It's a small family run place that carries various farm products, homemade baked goods, and they have a great selection of made-to-order lunch items, that they will kindly customize to your liking. On Fridays, they usually have fried chicken sandwiches and no joke, their fried chicken patties are the best I've ever had. I always get mine with American cheese and bacon and it's perfect. There's always a weekly special, which is often quite good. The chicken, bacon, ranch panini is always solid. My son loves the chicken quesadilla. My other kiddo loves the breakfast burger. We've tried probably everything on the menu and it's all solid. They also have fries and sweet potato fries (which come included with many of the items) which are plentiful. I like the sweet potato fries a bit better. The items that don't come with fries come with your choice of potato salad or coleslaw. I'm not a fan of either so I've never tried them here. As for drinks, they carry beer, Jaritos, coffee, Iced Tea, and some others. The desserts that we've tried have been quite good. Obviously if we make it a point to come here weekly, we're big fans of Homestead Marketplace.

As I have been to two other similar farms, I thought I knew what to expect. This farm experience was completely different than any I had ever experienced previously. Although the animals were beautiful in appearance, they seemed to only respond to the owner when she plied them with treats. They didn't seem to be trained to walk along with strangers, namely people they were not familiar with. I was especially disappointed as I had booked a private as opposed to a group hike. I will say that the owner was accommodating when the weather was not conducive to hiking; she allowed us to change our reservation to another day.
