Very cute spot for apple picking! I went rather late in the season so many apple trees were picked…read morethrough, but they do a good job of noting which trees are done for the season and including bins of apple varieties that are pre-picked. There's a hay bale ride constantly cycling through the farm so you can hop on and off whenever you want, but the orchard is pretty walkable as well. Overall, the apples were sweet and the farm made it a fun and easy experience though I wish they also provided sticks for reaching apples higher up in trees. The corn maze was pretty fun and they have a few sheep to pet. They have several food options including vegan selections and their hard cider was pretty good.

We brought home a few things to prepare for the weekend. Open Daily 8AM to 6PM Thank you! *no dogs allowed*

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!

I visited in early fall (first week of October) on a Saturday and the farm was packed! They have a…read moregood system for parking, pretty well organized over all, and this is key. 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.

Honestly best apple cider donuts I've ever had + freshly baked , not stale at all and very soft and fluffy (but you have to buy it in a dozen, you can't buy individual) Lots of apples to choose from ~5-8 kinds from evercrisp to snapdragon to gold rush. Gold rush & pink lady were my favorite. Atmosphere: Loved for fall! There's was live music, plenty of apples and pumpkins to pick from, plenty of benches and seating indoors and outdoors for eating, and areas for children to play Dogs allowed! Service: friendly everywhere!! Price: cheap for entry, food is $$. You have to pay a $10 fee but it goes towards anything you buy. For apple cider & cider donuts I would say worth the price. Apple picking is charged by the pound

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.

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.

There is also a very nice gift shop to check out while you wait if you want to head over early. You get to pick your own alpacas and set off on the trek.

Much like the staff, the alpacas all have fun and diverse personalities.
