Cute farm for families! We've visited several times and love that it's never overly crowded, and…read morethe prices are very reasonable. The kids always have a great time exploring the different play areas, visiting the animals, and enjoying the pick your own activities. The staff is consistently friendly, and they also sell a variety of homemade items, which is a nice bonus. One tip: bring cash if you'd like to buy feed for the animals. It's a great place to spend a day outdoors with the kids without breaking the bank. There are plenty of places to sit, relax, and enjoy snacks or lunch while the kids play. We always have a wonderful time and look forward to coming back.

From start to finish it was such a fun adventure! You're able to grab a bucket and literally walk the endless rows of beautiful tulips and pick as many as you'd like to your hearts desire. I had no idea there were so many different types of tulips. My bf and I really enjoyed learning this and also learning how to properly "pick" a tulip in order to transport them home without there being any wilting or withering. The weather actually made the experience that much more memorable in my opinion and provided quite a beautiful back drop given the contrasting colors to the grey and white sky. There were a nice selection of food trucks there as well so we grabbed empanadas and lemonade before round two of picking flowers and admiring mother natures beauty. Once we got the tulips home we followed instructions on how to properly clip and keep them watered and within minutes the tulips began to blossom :) The two vases we filled brightened our space and made us begin to plan our next visit ... with a plan on how we'd be more strategic in picking groups of colors and different heights lol. Highly recommend visiting them!

I've always wanted to go visit the famous lavender farm in Long Island but I never got the chance…read more Yesterday someone asked if I wanted to go to a lavender farm in NJ and I jumped at the chance. When you first pull up, it looked kind of small, but in actuality, they have four patches of lavender so it was pretty substantial. It was $21 to pick a bunch that would fit around the plastic tie they gave you. Picking is hard work in 90 degree heat so we wound up only picking one bunch and sharing the lavender. They said to dry it upside down to keep the color and shape. Highly recommend! Pro tip: go find a real restroom before you arrive because there are no restrooms. Only a porta potty but it did not smell bad. But what if someone has an accident over there one of these days? Just saying.

Hallock's was such a hit! I'm honestly sad to say I've lived in Jersey my entire life and never…read moreeven knew this place existed. We went on a Tuesday morning, and from the moment we pulled in, it was a great experience. When you arrive, they ask how many bags you want, give you big plastic bags, and then you're off to pick your own produce. We decided to pick collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, sweet potatoes, and a few peppers. Some items were out of season, so we bought those inside the market instead. Inside, we grabbed garlic, tomatoes, scallions, apples, onions, and a bottle of peach cider which I highly recommend! Everything was fresh and flavorful. The workers were all friendly, helpful, and welcoming. You can drive around the farm, park your car to the side, and pick whatever you need. When you're done, you stop at the booth, unload your items to be weighed, and pay there. They accept both cash and all major credit cards. A few tips: wear old clothes and shoes, and definitely don't get your car washed before going because everything gets dusty! I also saw a few people using scissors or knives to cut their vegetables, which is a smart idea, though we picked ours by hand. After getting home, cleaning everything, and cooking up the greens for dinner, I have to say they were the best greens I've ever had in my life. Farm-to-table food truly hits different. The prices were very fair and much cheaper than the supermarket & the quality was unbeatable. I highly recommend visiting this farm for some fresh, nutritious produce to feed your family.

"We are a real working farm; we have activities that I used to do when I was a child. This is not…read morea fall festival." This above statement couldn't be any more factual. This place is a REAL farm, operating since 1860, and is simply magical. You will find only the most wonderfully friendly staff, the most sincere pumpkin patch that Linus would be proud of, and a memorable day outside in the beauty of nature and what makes farm life, farm life. For $5 per person, you are covered for a hay ride to and from the pumpkin patch. A REAL pumpkin patch; not just pumpkin purchased and thrown in a field with straw. Like, maybe bring a small knife to cut these babies free to take home with you! The ride around was super cute with how they decorated the property (I won't completely spoil it for you!) and allowed you to take in the little changes in fall foliage peeking out. For $8 per person, you get access to pick your own flowers for $1 per sunflower and $0.50 per other flower variations, as well as a corn pit, tractor tire tower, obstacle course, basketball hoops, slides, and more. Our 4 year old absolutely had a BALL in the corn kernel pit and the slides really tested his bravery. You could tell the vibe was less about posing for the most perfect photo and more about just being together with family and friends. The two food trucks on location had responsibly prices pork rolls, hot dogs, apple cider donuts and drinks, whereas if you wanted to splurge and be a foodie, they had a BBQ food truck as well. Again, wonderfully friendly staff and the hot dogs have been approved by my toddler. Cash is much appreciated here, even though they do accept credit cards. This is OUR farm now and I can't wait to come back before the end of the season!

The kids had a blast with all the activities, there was bowling, basketball, 3 corn mazes, a few playgrounds for the kids to climb on and a bunch of corn pits. Make sure to check out the pumpkin patch and pick a pumpkin, the ride is so nice and it's great to go to a patch where you can pick it off the vine. Pro tip- Get the apple cider donuts early the line can get long Pro tip- bring lawn chairs and extra snacks for the brewery next door

Nothing fancy. No store. No entry fee. No music. No pies. No veggies. Just fruit. Which is good, because the fruit is the reason to go. The peaches we picked in early August were the best we've ever had. We brought home about 20 pounds and ate every single juicy one. If their apples are anything like the peaches, come for that too. There are plenty of orchards in New Jersey, but if you want a quick and easy stop where you can come in, pick what you want, and head out in 20 minutes with an insane fruit situation, this is your spot.
