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.

I also grabbed a few strawberry treats as well while I was there. All year round, Battleview has different picking seasons, so check their website for more info to see what's running. They consistently have amazingly fresh produce and if you love corn, you can't beat it. Also for sale in the country store are plenty of other fresh fruits and veggies, sauces and dressings, dips, and lots of candy too! Apple picking time is also very popular! Their pricing is also very fair for what you're getting. It's always nice to support local farms. They had a tough year already with the devastating crop damage from the freeze this past April.

That said, Giamarese Farm in East Brunswick keeps the pleasure close and the pain at arms distance. The hay ride is rather extensive as is the corn maze and pumpkin patch.

Five stars.

The garlic had roots on it, as it should, and they were huge bulbs. They were out of strawberries that day. She said the cold weather has caused them to lose alot of the strawberries in their field. Today is 6-2-26 and we have approximately 1 more week of strawberries in Season. I'm not sure why they had none, because we went to another farm just 15 minutes away (Von Thun) and they had strawberries coming out of their ears ! They did have some pretty flowers they were selling.

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!

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

Strawberry season is open from Memorial Day weekend to Father's Day weekend. Went for the June 13, 2026 end of season strawberries and most berries were over ripe or dried up. Come earlier.

You can bring your own basket/container or get a free biodegradable paper bucket for picking. We got two quarts which weighed at $15. No fee to enter the field and pick. No bathrooms on premises so be warned. Would return earlier in the season!

From there it was a short walk to the entrance and $5 ticketing. Bring cash as everything is cash only. If not there is an ATM by the port-a-potties (and another by the fruit weight and check-out). To the left of the parking lot is a $7 entry per kid playground. I couldn't drag my 4 yo away but once we did pay we discovered that a lot of the equipment was too hot to use. A short tractor ride leads to the picking fields; there's enough room and it wasn't too buggy but definitely bring a sun hat and apply sun block. There is one port-a-potty at the fields. Before getting on the tractor back you weight and pay for your berries and present a slip to get on. There are picnic tables with umbrellas and several "selfie stations". They sell local honey and some underwhelming burnt burgers and hot dogs. Skip that, and go to the BBQ trailer towards where the playground is, nice guy manning the grill when we visited and they have chicken, beef, and pork with a few sides available. Quick drive from NYC and will be recommending them to friends for a fun outing.

It was $20(Kinda Pricey) for entrance but it includes a good amount of things to do. I added a picture that lists what all is included. When you arrive, there's a hay ride that takes you to the festival from the parking lot! Very kid friendly and lots of photo opportunities. My favorite part was the corn maze and the pumpkin patch. There are a few things that aren't included in the price. I saw a pumpkin cannon launcher that was extra and it was pretty cool to watch! The food isn't amazing and a bit pricey but it's to be expected really at something like this! They had BBQ, lemonade stand, funnel cakes, Playa Bowls and one of the food trucks had seafood. Over all a good experience to visit once a year with larger group on nice fall day, support your local farms and farmers!

However, once we parked and got our tickets, things started moving better. There was more breathing room. This is not a traditional farm where you can pick your own berries. They may have that option, but we went for the activity section that they created. There were corn mazes for all sizes, games, and activities for all ages. There was a fenced kids section for smaller kids that was nice. Food was disappointing. Lines were extremely long and prices high. I would recommend eating before going. While my initial impression of this farm Was stress inducing, I was able to relax once we got into the games and activities it offered. Overall, not what I expected, but a nice experience that I would recommend to others.
