When one thinks of the words 'rural' and 'farmland,' these are not terms one hears a lot in Bergen…read moreCounty, NJ, one of the most heavily populated counties to surround New York City. Yet the county has a rich history in farming and agriculture from the late 1600s up into the 1970s. The small farms in north Jersey do more than just provide fruits and vegetables for our tables. They are open-air classrooms to our agricultural past, places to buy fresh produce and baked goods to support local family farm stores, and places for interesting special events and outings for families. Being the first Saturday after Labor Day, my partner and I got a head start on the apple cider donuts made fresh daily, just oozing with apple cidery goodness and never hot. Since 1973, located on Airmont Avenue in Mahwah, Secor Farms is a reminder of Bergen County's rural past and one of the last farms left in the area, passed down through three generations. Upon arrival in the afternoon, parking was not an issue with only a handful of vehicles. However, the farm comes alive starting Sept 15 with a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and a petting zoo where reservations are required, with all sorts of activities. Their outside garden centers had pumpkins, gourds, fall decorations, and mums for purchase. We went inside their marketplace full of produce and managed to get a bag of mixed apple cider donuts and a quart of apple cider. These baked donuts have the sweet tartness of apple cider with a coating of cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar. They were soft, moist, tender, and tastefully delicious. The price was reasonable. The staff was friendly. We can recommend this place.

There's stacks of them, either of the glazed or cinnamon sugar variety, and they are still warm from the oven usually. A fresh cider doughnut is a beautiful thing, and I personally purchase lots of them to buy the affection of my wife and children. They've also got all kinds of other confections as well, including apple fritters if you want to round out your fried apple pastry selection. I picked up one of those, but have yet to sample the pies, breads, sauces, cinnamon rolls, ice cream, cookies, honey, and more...but there's always next week. Outside, they've got all the pumpkins, gourds, flowers, and fresh produce you'd want. The owners are CLEARLY dog people, and I can get behind their plea for all of us to be the people that our dogs think we are.

Having tried mochi donuts from other several places, Sopoong remains my favorite in this area. My friends and family also agree - it's hard to beat the delicious flavors, perfectly chewy texture and the freshness of their donuts. These mochi donuts have become a stable for many of my celebrations. The owner truly goes above and beyond to ensure every order is perfect. On one occasion, I was delayed by traffic and couldn't pick up my order before closing time, she waited for me to show up even though the store was already closed. Just absolutely the best customer service ever. Their flavors switch up every week which keeps things exciting and if you have a special request, they are happy to accommodate with advanced notice. If you are on the hunt for delicious mochi donuts, look no further, you're in for a treat :)

It's easy to see why they sell out so quickly. If you're craving a sweet treat--or just want to try their baked goods--make sure to come early! You can truly tell that everything is baked with passion and lots of love. Definitely worth the visit!

They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

While the dessert was good, the staff is not aware of allergens in desserts. All three people at…read morethe front, although they were very nice, assured me there were no nuts in "Spring" dessert. They said there could be cross contamination. Cross contamination is no issue for me, as I informed them, but I need to know if there are nuts actually inside as an ingredient. One person said only one item on their dessert menu contained nuts, and when I mentioned that many contained hazelnut they seemed surprised to learn that hazelnut is in fact a tree nut. Lo and behold, the chocolate dacquoise inside the Spring dessert contained nuts and I got an anaphylactic reaction as a result and needed to take my EpiPen. The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.

I ordered asked for an apple cider donut, and while she was grabbing that I was looking at what else to get, I ended up getting a Boston Creme donut and a cinnamon bun. Later on the trail when I opened bag to eat the goods, I saw that instead of an apple cider donut I'd been given some sort of chocolate donut? I guess that's my bad for not checking, but it's hard to imagine how apple cider donut gets misheard. As it turns out, the chocolate donut and the cinnamon bun were inedible. They were so dry and stale. The chocolate donut was so dry it literally fell apart into crumbs. I was eating these at noon, so it's not like they were end of day goods. The Boston Creme did taste fresh and it was okay, but 1 out of 3 is pretty bad odds.
