Farming is brutally hard work -- and unless you love your work -- the results will underwhelm…read more Here at Anvil Farms, the farmer and his wife are the real deal - love what they do -- devoting 100% of their energies to growing some beautiful flowers and flavorful veggies for the past 30+ years. The manicured grounds are off the beaten path -- down the road from Bamber Lake. You almost have to know they are tucked away off the main road to find them. I visited while on a bike ride in the area -- going slow enough I guess to spot the modest signage on the highway. At 50mph I would have missed it. In about a month the first greens of the season (escarole and romaine) will be on sale -- followed by all the usual south Jersey suspects -- like garlic and tomatoes and eggplant and potatoes. The farm also carries local apples and other fruit in season -- grown elsewhere. Don't miss this real deal. The farmer will show you around and happily explain how he runs his operation -- from fertilizer -- to seed -- to harvest. I cannot get enough of real Americana. Nice to accidentally find examples of the micro industry that first built this country -- like Anvil Farms -- and admire tradition. Makes my day.

Aside from that it was a fun outing with the family. Only about 40 months from home. Great fall weather and the picking was fun. We finished by going to the market which was a nice treat. We got some fresh, hot apple cider donuts and some other sweets. I'm glad we have this place a try. Typically we drive hours for the same experience. The apple prices were by the pound. I think $1.79 or something like that.

My friend rave about this orchard and recommended this place for peach picking. She was not joking…read morebecause I had an amazing time. We arrived around 1pm and the orchard was not over crowded. Plenty of space to walk around and their peaches/nectarines tasted amazing. It was like nectars from the gods. Lol. There are free parking and entrance and their peaches/nectarines were $1.89 lbs. Very reasonable in my book. It's cash only so make sure you bring plenty of cash. When done, you should also visit their store. There are plenty of baked good and other delicious things to buy and they had a tasting station so that was cool too. Definitely don't leave without buying one of their pies. I brought half of their peach pies and my roommate and I loved it. Would I come back here again. Hell yesssss!!! This will not be my go to spoke going forward. It's only about 1hr-1.5hr from Brooklyn.

Everything was clean, organized, and family-friendly (including the bathrooms, which as parents we definitely appreciate!). The owners and staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. Our kids had an absolute blast picking fresh strawberries, meeting the animals, and riding on the tractor, which ended up being one of the highlights of the day! The market was another pleasant surprise, full of fun snacks, treats, and unique items to browse. This place offers so much more than just fruit picking. It really feels like a full family experience. We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a fun, well-run day outdoors!

Apples, cider, donuts, cute farm animals, hay rides, sunflowers, and it's dog-friendly -- honestly,…read morewhat's not to love? Tip: Buy your entry tickets online -- it's cheaper than getting them at the gate! This place runs on a "park-and-pick" setup, meaning you'll drive to different spots around the farm for each activity. Apple picking is by bag size, not by the pound -- the smallest bag was $7.50 and fit about 10-12 apples. It was hot the day we went, so we stuck to apple picking and cooled off at the marketplace afterward (skipped the maze and sunflowers). The cider and donuts were just okay compared to other farms I've been to, but the apple cider slush? Totally addictive (even if it's $9 -- ouch). Once the sun eased up later in the afternoon, we stopped by to see the goats and chickens and hopped on the hay ride -- the perfect cozy ending to the day.

Very cute place. When we first came to this farm and started looking for parking, I must say, it…read moredidn't look promising. The place was PACKED! 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.

My only issue is how crowded it gets. Even waiting on line for food is insane. The food line is cash only btw. The second time i came i played to smarter. I started off at the pumpkin area and then worked my way towards the sunflowers and food after. Was able to take all the photos i wanted this way. We also did the corn maze both times. It was less crowded at the pumpkin area doing it this way bc most ppl go there towards the end to leave with pumpkins. Would def come back but try a weekday next time even if some of the family friendly activities are closed.

That also included a donut and apple cider after the maze. It was very well organized and they had people directing traffic to park. They had a trailer to buy tickets or present your Groupon, 2 separate lines so it went very quickly. We were given bracelets and were directed to the maze. Before going I read it normally takes about an hour and a half to complete the maze. It was a cool night and many people were arriving to enjoy the maze. We walked around and around for quite a while which is the whole idea. There were some muddy patches since it rained a little in the morning so after I slid in the mud one time I was more careful about where I was stepping. I felt like we were walking in circles and there are no clues or hints to direct you and unfortunately some people pulled down the tapes that mark off the paths so that made it more confusing. After about an hour and a half I was ready to get out of there. Unfortunately we never found the exit but instead made our way back to the entrance. We collected our donuts and cider and called it a night... Not a bad evening and a nice change from the dinner and a movie routine. I just think I'm better suited for the day time maze next time. Staff was very nice and friendly definitely recommend.

It is a cute farm however you cannot touch and or feel almost all of the animals, they are behind cages. Other farms that I frequented for much more interaction. Came for Chol Moed trip and my older boys were extremely bored. If you are coming to pick pumpkins or to stroll around the farm, it is very clean and a nice environment, but if you are coming to entertain kids over the age of seven, it may prove to be difficult. I would wish if they would offer horse rides or a more interactive petting zoo . Again, no complaints about the staff or facilities just a slightly boring experience for our family .
