This farm has plenty of nectarines and peaches towards the end of summer! Ambiance - friendly staff - farm is huge! - signs are easy to read and direct you straight to the fruits and veggies you can pick - grounds are well maintained and neat Activities - I went peach and nectarine picking! Since it was the end of the season only a few rows of trees still had peaches and nectarines on them. All of the fruit was huge and very ripe! The small fruit stand at the store also has plenty of seasonal fruit and veggies picked on the farm. There's also an ice cream truck "Sweet n salty" that sells home made ice cream! The peach flavor was so delicious! read more

Crazy rules and poor attitudes are what greet you at the door, and the experience just falls and falls from there.

TLDR: Simple farm for a reasonable price I came at the end of summer to pick some peaches. We paid $3 to get on the farm, which gave us access to all the crops, view of the turkey chicks, and a small playground. We had an easy time following the signs to the back corner of the farm where the peaches were. Even at the end of the season there were still plenty of peaches to pick. There was an ice cream vendor at the front of the farm that sold some interesting flavors of ice cream too. Tip: - you can buy the produce at the farm market, so you don't have to pay the entrance fee. - the only bathrooms are porta-potties with a hose outside to wash your hands read more

I've bought turkeys for Thanksgiving here for the last three years. Their turkeys are humanely raised on-site from one-day old chicks without hormones, antibiotics, or other additives. Every year on Thanksgiving, I have to cook for 20 or more people, and, absurdly, many of them don't even like dark meat, so I'm not going to hassle with cooking and carving whole turkeys. I buy frozen de-boned turkey breasts here, and cook them sous-vide. I vacuum seal them in ziplock bags with a handful of herbs and submerge them in a circulating hot water bath kept at 148.5°F for one hour per pound with my Anova Precision cooker. The turkey is consistently perfectly cooked, incredibly moist, juicy, and flavorful. There is no easier way to make it. There's no waste, and zero mess to clean up, just throw away the plastic bag and dump out the bucket of water. Everyone loves the turkey I make this way. I also bought Fuji apples here the same day for only 99¢ a pound that made a great apple pie, although I need to work on my pie crust-making skills. I will continue to buy turkey and produce here, and recommend. read more

Anyone with disabilities should steer clear of this place. I have a registered service dog that alerts others and paws and licks my face if I pass out. Due to my sugar levels and other medical conditions, I have to travel with a service dog. I arrived at the apple picking farm and was denied entry. I was told my service dog would have to remain in the parking lot. I am contacting the ADA and reporting this. read more

I picked some beautiful eggplants. The farm is beautifully maintained, if you need anything and in the East Windsor area, drive on in and pick something up. It is always important to support our farmers! No farming, no food. No farm, no future. Remember your holiday turkeys too. read more

I enjoyed myself here at their farm. Plenty of selections and free parking. As for entrance, it will cost $2 for their admission card (non-refundable) and with that card you can add 5 more people to it to the car. The only catch is that each person on that card, including yourself will have to pay $5 (per person) but that $5 can be redeem toward veggies that are picked. As for the farm, they had plenty to choose from. From peaches, to eggplants, to zucchini, etc. The farm is also very spacious and easy to walk around and beautiful to look at. The only draw back is you can't bring in backpacks even if you tell them they can look in your backpack when you exit and their bathroom is a porta potty. As for staff, they were friendly. Overall I had fun and I like how this place run their business. Very relaxing atmosphere and the cost of the veggie per pound was very reasonable considering that it's literally farm to home kitchen table. read more

The farm itself seems okay - certainly nothing special, and I have been to much better places. But the female owner is so offputting, rude, and nasty that I will never go there again despite the convenient location to me. In the hour I was there, heard her be absolutely offensively rude to 3 different people (myself included). There are much nicer places close by (Oasis, Kyle, etc) with people that are friendly and kind. I would never speak to another person the way the owner spoke to me and do not plan on giving them any more of my money in the future. read more

Was horrified at the way I was spoken to when they made an error in payment Threatening and disgusting the way they spoke to me and my children Would not go back!!!!! read more

One thing I must mention: they honestly have the best string bean I've ever had. We come here 2-3 times a year for strawberry, apple and pumpkin picking, and last year we got some string beans, and it's just the crunchiest, freshest and sweetest string beans I've ever tasted. So adding that to the list. read more

Nasty workers and environment. Completely spoils there picking experience. Unless you're going there to pick for your restaurant or business, which no one is, go somewhere where you can actually enjoy your time. It's sad because this farm used to be our go to for family trips until the owners decided to go mental. Enjoy your new crabby clientele lee turkey farm!! read more

We have been visiting Lee's Turkey Farm for more than 25 years. Today my wife spoke to Mr. Lee on the phone to ask if they had strawberries in the market. He said they did. I drove a good distance to get then and was told they did not have fresh strawberries in the market. His cashier called and he told her he never said that. I know he is wrong because I overheard the conversation and Mr. Lee's reply. I do not know why Mr. Lee did not recall the conversation correctly, but he lost a longtime customer today amd we will never recommend his farm again. read more

This is me and my family's yearly trip to fruit picking. We love this farm for their diverse fruit and vegetable collections. They also have turkey for sale. The price is a little pricey but it's a great experience. Current price is $2 for a season card (you need to pay this every season), and $5 deposit per a person to go in to pick which would be credit back upon purchasing goods. Late July thru early September is fruit picking season but check their website to see what's in season before going. Oh and btw they have very friendly and helpful staffs :) read more

I had a fun time here with my friends! We were apple to get some veggies and apples. They have a variety of apples that are in season currently. We paid $5 deposit each and $2 lee turkey club card fee for our entire group. I also got a key lime pie. Some of their pies are frozen and have to be thawed, I was expecting actual home-made pies for $15.95. There was plenty of parking in their lot. There's a playground for the kids, and two portapotties if you need the restroom. There's also some live turkeys in the back if you want to purchase some (the smell was overwhelming so I didn't stay for long there) Overall, I had a good time. When u was checking out, I was helped by an older White woman and a black lady. They were both very helpful! I read in the reviews that there was racist encounters but I didn't experience any racism at all (I'm Asian). read more

Not sure how there are any negative reviews for this farm. We've been here on numerous occasions and never once had an issue. Signs are posted on where and what you can pick and the prices. Prices are fair for a u-pick farm. When you purchase the picking membership (I think it was $5 for the family for the year) it includes discounts for each month. You also need to leave a deposit to pick but it gets applied to your purchase. They are very clear when you pay not to lose your receipt. This place is extremely kid friendly. The trees are low enough that they can pick cherries and apples easily. There is also a nice little playground to let the kids burn off some energy. Turkeys are ridiculously good. Sign up for their emails so you don't miss the preorder. I also love that you can pick just about everything here from peppers and snap peas to cherries and pumpkins. Don't let the bad reviews sway you. Every time we have gone everyone is extremely pleasant. read more

The review is partially related to this farm but not entirely. Advice 1: Don't go in to a farm that has discrimination issue. They may not get educated enough or civilized enough. But again, you don't ask people to read more or get out of their little bubble to see the world. (Some fish just belong to the muddy pond) Advice 2: Farm is neutral and so are those turkeys Advice 3: It's 2020 now and we have so many lovely farms who's welcoming and their produce are also tasty . read more

Apples, Peaches, Green Beans, Hot peppers, Broccoli, Tomatoes, and Sweet corn are among the fruits and vegetables offered at Lee Turkey Farm. And the sweet corn sure is sweet! They have a nice pumpkin patch in the fall. The pumpkins are sold by the pound, so our purchase of two pumpkins last year did add up. Lee Turkey Farm seems to have a lot of rules though. They have every family fill out a liability waiver form for $2. This must be completed every year. They also charge each adult picking fruits and vegetables a $5 deposit, which would go towards your purchase if you buy something or serve as credit if you don't. I've picked fruits and veges at other local farms and have not encountered these types of rules. They also have a little market with pre-picked fruits and vegetables, jams, salad dressings etc. I inquired about the dressing; it is basically private labeled, so is not specific to the farm and 1 bottle is priced at about $7. read more

Great tasting turkey. The best I have ever tasted. It was so good, I just wanted to inhale it. Very nice family owns the farm and they work so hard to preserve it. Highly recommend! read more

We have been buying our Thanksgiving turkey from Lee Turkey Farm for many years and have never been disappointed. We go early on the Monday before Thanksgiving and they always have a plentiful selection. The turkeys are cleaned beautifully and the meat is very good quality. I would never go back to store bought turkey when Lee Turkey Farm exists. Plus, I like to support small farms businesses. read more

The said they have plenty of vegetables to pick got there and almost everything was unripe abandoned and rotting on the floor paid 115 for apples . They charge you 25 dollars for a small bag of produce and they charge about a dollar for ONE ear of corn....walked out of there with 115 dollars in apples...and best part is the owners wife if you do some digging in the google reviews youll see that many ppl have said the same thing about her...RUDE as heck....she accused us of stealing because we filled our bag a drop passed the rim of the bag .this fitnessly challenged woman then told my kids shame on your father for stealing..please dont patronize ppl who dont respect paying customers. read more

I would skip this farm as there are others that are more friendly and not as expensive. They have a variety of fruits and veggies. No amenities/food other than a little stand that sells ice. Porta potty for customer only. Fruits are expensive; peaches were like $1 more per lbs than elsewhere and not organic. The price for veggies are a little more reasonable. Weeds are 99cent/lb $5 entry fee per adult which can be apply as credit toward your purchase. Another $2 additional fee per entry /liability waiver card for up to 5 adult. A lot of rules.. ex. mid-size shoulder bag is ok but backpack of the same size is forbidden, as well as food/drink even if sealed. read more

Most of the reviews on yelp and on their google page that state the workers here are racists and nasty are 10000% correct. We used to love driving from Brooklyn about two hours to come here a couple of times each summer until about two summers ago. My parents were spoken to like complete trash and accused of stealing a fu*king zucchini. These morons even searched their car for the zucchini that they never found. If you're paying tolls, wasting gas money and spending 70 dollars on fruit do you honestly think we are out here stealing a single zucchini? What a joke. While we enjoyed the farm itself, we didn't appreciate being treated like criminals so we haven't gone back. There are way too many options in the area to allow this level of disrespect. This place needs to hire people with better customer service skills and less attitudes In response to the owner: Actually they didn't get stopped because they were on the way to their car. They were told at the register that the girl saw a zucchini in my mother's hand and it disappeared. Does that make sense to you? My mother told her that they didn't pick any zucchini's but they insisted that they check the car- which they did and found nothing. Instead of apologizing they gave her dirty looks and kept talking down to her. Instead of worrying about how bothered I am you should go check out the other reviews of the people who agree that the customer service here is subpar to say the least. read more

I needed some fresh turkey for a post Thanksgiving dinner and called Lee Turkey Farm to see what they had. The owner was friendly, easy to work with and basically said come on over to see what they had. Lee Turkey had deboned turkey breast meat which was perfect along with some condensed turkey soup base to make gravy with which was really awesome. The turkey meat tasted great and the soup base was easy to use. I'd definitely come back for fresh turkey meat in the future! read more

What? Low stars on Yelp about Lee Turkey Farm? Are you kidding me!?! - it is a farm - property is big enough for a large variety of picking! - I've never had a problem with parking, the staff, how it is organized, or the cost! Fun place to go apple picking with the kids! Don't believe the negative reviews listed on this site! read more

Best Turkey's I've ever had! The staff is always friendly and helpful, they carry the Turkey for me and pit it in my car. I also buy wonderful fruit and vegetables pre picked. As a person with disabilities its wonderful to be able to get such wonderful fresh foods read more

Damn, I feel that second review, while funny, is pretty harsh. If the owner is very racist, please provide some detail so the rest of us know to stay away. If not, let's keep it moving and bring on the vegetables! You can do so many kinds of vegetable/fruit picking at this farm! The last time I was there they had apples, peppers, tomatoes, green beans, cabbage (who wants to pick cabbage? apparently a lot of people), gourds, corn, and pumpkin picking. They also had brussels sprouts, which were not yet ready for picking, but who ever sees that? Not me! Love those sprouts. The farm is kind of spread out with the pumpkins in one section, corn maze in another, corn picking in another, apple orchard, etc. The apple orchard is not the biggest I've seen (see Riamede Farm in Chester for pretty excellent apple picking), but with the variety of other produce this is pretty fun. I can't imagine little children wanting to walk the entire farm though, so I'm sure families limit themselves to particular sections. If not, you got a lot of walking to do. My boyfriend and I didn't even make it over to the pumpkins. I don't remember the price per pound, but it was not cheap.. not that any pick-your-own farm is anyway. You also have to buy a 'picking pass' that costs two bucks. They also have a small farmer's market type thing, but the selection is pretty small. I bet their turkeys are insanely good. Might have to invest in a fresh bird this year! read more

Great farm. So many things to choose from... all fresh and delicious. Everything is amazing. Be sure to get the corn when in season. We have been coming here for years and always have a great experience. Can't wait to order my turkey for Thanksgiving again this year. read more

Good selection of you pick items. Could do without the political speech from the owner. Not appropriate. read more

Really loved the place.

Had a really nice time here. Went early November so some crops were out of season, but there was still plenty to be picked! Tomatoes were on their last leg but we were able to find some good ones, and they were delicious. Brussel sprouts, eggplant, zucchini, lettuce, apples, corn, and peppers were plentiful. The corn was sooo sweet and delicious. The prices are about right. You pay $5 per person for entry but then get to use that money towards produce at the end. Most crops are around $2.50/lb. corn was 0.60 per ear, brussel sprouts $3 per stalk, and pumpkins $1 for small and $3 for large. They ask you not to eat until you buy, but I sampled some crops! So really in the end the slightly higher price per pound evens out. Wish they served donuts and hot cider, or maybe I came too late in the season. Would come again! read more

Lee Turkey Farm - Pumpkin patch - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - East Windsor, New Jersey

I have been coming here for almost 25 years for my family's Thanksgiving & Christmas turkeys. We took our children here to go apple picking back in 1994 or 1995 and came back to try their turkey. Lee's turkey immediately became a family tradition! It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a Lee turkey! read more

A lady who was working there said we can try the cherry they were selling and when I took two berries instead of one, one for me and another one for my husband who was standing next to me, she started yelling that she allowed to take only one!!! If you don't have enough cherries just don't tell me that I can try it. I would've paid for these two berries, if you told me that that was an option and to tell the truth I would prefer to do it instead of trying it for free. I didn't ask you to let me try the berries, so I didn't like when you pushed me around in front of 10 other people. read more

Don't waste your time here. Staff are unfriendly and rude, NOT kid friendly atall. And not COVID friendly either

This is by far the worst farm we have every gone to. Dont waste your time. Go to Battleview orchards they have great service and a wonderful store where you can get fresh baked pies and preserves. Lee turkey farm was a terrible experience with rude management and not following safety protocols. The staff didn't wear masks or gloves and no social distancing. Never again! Warning: not a safe experience read more

Me and my family come every year for picking of everything Apples Pumpkins Squash Hot peppers Jalapeños Broccoli Peppers Tomatoes Sweet corn Even pie It's is such a great family farm on a nice day in October it is a perfect day for the family to spend outside. Walking through the corn maze picking it right off the stalk and eating delicious sweet corn! About 45 minutes into jersey and so worth the trip!! read more

TL;DR: If you are white, you will more likely have a great experience at Lee Turkey + leave good reviews on Yelp, and if you are not white, you will more likely have a racial profiling experience and will leave negative reviews. Otherwise, it's a beautiful farm, great produce at very good prices, fun to pick. Now the full essay: The produce at Lee Turkey Farm is delicious! And the prices are reasonable and the farm is beautiful. It's super impressive that this farm is over 200 years old! Keeping a family owned business up and running and profitable through market fluctuations and changing society is pretty amazing. That said, I think there are few things the family could do to adapt to their changing community and also improve profit while doing it. I will outline them here in hopes that the family reads this comment and considers these changes. One major change I recommend is eliminating racial profiling when trying to enforce rules. As an example, I am Asian American and was racially profiled during my solo visit - one staff member asked me to "open my fanny pack" to check that I was not sneaking in any plastic bags. The staff member did not check the purse of the white woman behind me in line. If you look at all the Yelp reviews, you'll notice generally that positive reviews of customer service are from white people (see photo or last name), while negative reviews of customer service are from non-white people. As another example, when I went with my fiance, who is white, I was treated much better. And having been to the farm three times, I've witnessed other instances that resembled racial profiling. A more effective strategy to enforce rules (instead of racial profiling) is through effective and positive communication. This includes: (1) Provide large, legible signage in different languages. Include information about card, deposit, bucket policy, pay before eating policy, prices for each produce, etc. (2) Use positive and action-oriented wording in signage. Ie. "pay before eating" instead of "no eating allowed." The former is positive and suggests an action; the latter is negative and suppresses an action. Potentially, work with an editor or graphic designer to work on the signage to make it easy to digest all the information. (3) Since customers come from diverse backgrounds, hire staff who are multi-lingual and can speak some of these different languages. Or offer volunteering opportunities for multi-lingual staff. From what I've seen in three visits, many of the issues just seem to be lost in translation issues. (4) Include non-white people in your Instagram photos. Embrace inclusiveness as part of your branding. A hundred years later, what you do today will be part of the Lee Turkey story on your website. Do you want it to say "in the 2000s, we became suspicious of our customers and lived in suspicion forever afterwards" or do you want it to say "in the 2000s, we welcomed new and diverse customers and our business grew by leaps and bounds." (5) Focus on the positive experience you want to create. It's normal for orchards to charge deposits, so you don't have to explain that the reason for the deposit is to "protect" yourselves from "certain types of people from eating without paying" (this is quoted from your website). When you assign mistakes into the category of "that type of person," you create a barrier to understanding and empathy. Also, if someone does break the rules, kindly tell them "we don't do that here. Please pay, or leave the premises", and forgive them and realize that they can change. We are all trying to do our best, and just as your business is adjusting to the changing environment, your customers are also adjusting to the changing environment. I would also recommend hiring an outside management consultant to conduct a market analysis to improve profit over all. I sense that the staff is stressed from needing to enforce rules because they think it maintains profit. In reality, there could be an alternative solution to maintaining profit that's much easier. Thus, if the main issue of how to create profit is addressed, perhaps there will be less stress from being suspicious of everyone from certain racial backgrounds. Overall, I really like this farm and would like to see it succeed for many more centuries to come. I love that you include a history of the farm on their website, it is very cool to read about. read more

This place is a waste of time not only was the customer service was bad but the manager of the location was completely rude . According to the website they're supposed to be open until 6 o'clock and I got there about 5 o'clock and the manager stated that we close at 450pm. Why would a place advertise online the hours to be closed at 6 o'clock and everybody clocking out at 450 pm .The manager was completely rude and not helpful. She did not even let me purchase after I told her I drive four hours to get to the location. I wasted four hours of my life driving to location just to be disrespected not by the employees but the wife of the owner. I would not advise anyone to go here if you're looking to get great customer service this place is a joke and should be shut down. If I can give this place negative or no stars that would be my choice. read more

Turkey farm that looks like chicken farm. Your days are numbered. Orchards where you can pick, but you have to pay a fee to go and pick. You can pick Apple, broccoli, pear, and Brussels sprout.
