Went here a couple of months back during their Boo Bash weekend festival. We enjoyed a few hours there to do some pumpkin picking, hay rides, and the rest of the usual activities. They have several food trucks with lots of different choices. They have a nice farmer's market that is nicely decorated and has plenty of items for sale. They have a great selection of pies too. Also, there is an ice cream stand next to the market opened daily, all ice cream is homemade and fresh! Their hot apple cider and cinnamon donut was a great treat! Since finding Ort Farms is not too far from us, we'll be back next year once the crops are back in season. read more

Ort Farms - October event calendar - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Long Valley, New Jersey

I found out about Ort Farms from a billboard I saw driving down 17. I wanted to find a farm that had a pumpkin patch but still had apple picking, and Ort Farms had both - so it was perfect! It was about an hour drive from me, so it wasn't too bad. We came on the last Sunday of September, so the pumpkin patch and hayrides were already open (I believe they open mid-September) but they still had some late varieties of apples. They had some veggies available for picking too - tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. You just need to purchase a bag and you can use it for both. Admission was about $15 per adult, which you have to purchase online. Kids 3 and under are free. We did the 9:30 time slot but didn't get there until 10, which didn't seem to be an issue. It's definitely best to go early so you can avoid as much of the crowd as possible. We spent almost three hours there and it was crowded by the time we left. The good thing about going in September is that most people don't want to go until October, so you get to avoid that mess. But the bad thing is that it's still probably really hot and if you're picking fruits/veggies in hot weather, it's not the most fun. By the time we were done picking apples and veggies, we were all hot and tired by the time we got to the pumpkin patch. So I'd suggest doing all of your photo ops at the pumpkin patch first and then doing all the manual labor. They have a few food trucks in one area and the apple cider slush was nice and refreshing after picking fruit. They also have a farm store with your usual suspects - pies, apple cider donuts, pre-made salads/sandwiches, etc., but we didn't buy anything. I think I found our new go-to farm. It's nice that you can kill two birds with one stone. I saw they have U-cut Christmas trees in December so I'm interested to see if they're doing any Christmas events - I wouldn't mind making the drive back. read more

Wanted to try a new spot for Apple Picking and Ort's did not disappoint. there was ample space to park and traffic was guided by staff so it wasnt chaotic. The farm was beautiful and well maintained. Playground was in perfect condition and even looked new! the kids definitely had so much fun. We went to their orchard and it was very organized however the PYO apples seem pricey for a small bag of $8 or $12. This was a separate purchase from the admission ticket which also included the orchard entrance and their hayride. During our visit (Sept) was also an event so they had vendors and a live band which was neat! there were enough tables/chairs fyi. We also tried their homemade icecream and I absolutely enjoyed their pumpkin patch milkshake and their special caramel apple cider slushie float which included an apple cider donut! it was so good! they also sell apple cider donuts and other homemade breads and pastries inside their well kempt shop! sure enough we had a lovely visit at their farm and would love to revisit again some day soon! read more

I had an amazing time at Ort Farms. They are unique in the fact that they have the monster trucks and even have a cool unique name for one of them. The Web Slinger it was $10 for the ride & it was super fun. The entry was pretty reasonable & things at the farm to do were reasonably priced. They had animal feeding but they didn't wanna eat that much at the time we fed them. They had pumpkins, apples were done. The hayride wasn't as fun as most of them there was not much to see however I had a good read more

I haven't been to Ort in two years, but it's so different that it might has well have been ten years. Am I crazy, or did they change everything?! In the best way though. The farm store is gorgeous and brand new with an amazing selection of snacks, sweets, produce and local goodies. They even had so many fun farm themed toys for the kiddos. Plus a full fledged ice cream shop! That strawberry cheesecake ice cream was pure perfection. Strawberry picking was the main reason for our visit, but there was so much else to check out for my kids like animals, a playground area, a big toy train, a cow train ride and more. There are also food trucks that have the basics like chicken fingers and fries, and the fresh squeezed lemonade is a can't miss. Strawberry picking is a must, and they have an expansive field with so many perfectly ripe strawberries. It's around a five minute tractor ride out to the fields, but the tractors come often and it's a cute experience for the kids. IMO the tractor experience is way better than Alstede, where it's a long wait and a long ride. Strawberry picking will run you $10 per person, plus a dollar upgrade for a bucket vs a carton. And then of course pay for what you pick. I forget what the price per pound is, but we walked away with a massive bucket of strawberries for around 15 bucks. This is a fun place to visit and they keep the calendar full with events like beer fests, car shows, etc. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I stopped by for the home made ice cream today and it was such a great treat! I went with the carrot cake ice cream and the German valley chocolate! First off the carrot cake had real carrots in it. Which I liked! I met Amy, who makes the ice cream, and Denise who does the quality control. They were both very friendly and they gave me a peek at the process of making the ice cream. I highly recommend stopping by and visiting Ort Farms! They also have a produce store, that offers different kinds of quiche. I look forward to trying the bacon and cheddar quiche next time. read more

It's been 8 long years since our last visit, and I'm so happy we got to share my son's first apple picking experience here on Ort Farms. We brought his godfather along, since he was also with us 8 years ago. We had such a wonderful fun time here, and we'll be back before the end of the season for sure! We paid $63 in total for 3 adults, including in that price $24 for two 1/2 peck bags to fill for apple picking. Honestly, not too terrible, and we didn't reserve a time slot online - we just showed up and were taken right away at 11:30AM when we arrived. The parking was still plentiful at this time, so plan accordingly! We did the petting of the farm animals and showed my son the horses, bunnies, cows, a bull, pigs, and more. You can purchase food in addition to feed the animals, but my son was still too shy to try this. The staff was very friendly and everyone had big, bright smiles for us. The farm has a good amount of large picnic tables, so you can bring your family and friends and really make a whole day out of it. There's food trucks to purchase from, and we got chicken tenders and fries for my son ($14) and they had pickles on a stick and other food options! We were happy with the quality of the food and the portions. The apple orchard was a great highlight. I was especially touched when a staff member asked to take a family photo of us, which I hadn't yet been able to achieve. It was so nice to have something so simple be offered and my son smiled for the camera! A wonderful memory! Another wonderful memory was watching my son run up and down the aisles of apple trees all begging to be picked. There was PLENTY of apples to pick - honeycrisp, cortland, and gala - were all hanging in toddler reach and all the way to the tippy tops of the trees; just gorgeous. The apples are marked clearly with red and green flags so you know exactly what you can and cannot pick. The 1/2 peck bag fit about 12 apples, so it's like paying $1 per apple. They were juicy and crisp! Make sure you stop at the farmer's market before you leave to get your apple cider and apple cider donuts! In the words of my son, "More farm"! read more

Cute place to bring kids around the fall time! They had an organized line to get in. They have a monster truck area, apple picking, pumpkin picking, flower fields and flower picking, lots of local food and beer pop ups, and many baked goodies in their shop. They even had gluten free apple cinnamon donuts as well as cookies and brookies! There's also a crazy corn maze if you're up for it! read more

Went to Ort Farms for some fall fun with my family and enjoyed my experience! This farm is dog friendly, with the exception of the hay ride and apple orchard, which was fine by me. There were plenty of activities, such as the pumpkin patch and seeing the farm animals. There were lots of good eats - apple cider slushy and donuts included! The staff was nice and knowledgeable. I would recommend better signage for lines (especially for those purchasing tickets vs. those who prepaid). Overall, it was a lovely time. I'd love to come back for more goodies! read more

Meh. Used to be fun. Apple cannons are great and monster trucks are fun. But at almost $120 for a couple hours, it's gotten a bit out of hand. We did have fried Oreos which were good but the zeppolis were cold. Thanks for the memories though. read more

Such a disappointment. This use to be our favorite place to go. It was all about family and giving back to the community but lately that has seemed to have dramatically changed. The farm store has increased in size but not for the better. Disorganized, no one there to help you, pricing outrageous as well. As a family we will not return until Orts goes back to being the family farm they once were. read more

Objective: strawberry picking with a toddler Why I came here instead of Alstede's: The admission tickets in 30 min increments added pressure, hearing that the strawberry fields are a hay ride away with a line and to budget 30 min, pick your own hours end earlier, more expensive Ort experience: easy to book tickets online. We didn't notice until after a while that there were additional fields - which had waaaay more strawberries. I wish someone directed us to these in the first place. Forgot to use the punchcard for strawberries and the first ice cream cup. Appreciated that it wasn't crazy busy. It was also a Spring fest day and things died down way before 6pm. I liked that the ice cream wasn't super creamy. read more

I think we may have found our new go-to fall farm! I've been living in Jersey City for three years now, which means this is our third fall farm. The first was not quite enough - apple picking was abundant but pumpkin picking and doughnut game was not strong. The second one was too much - we ended up paying about $30 each for a bunch of fall activities that we didn't care to partake in, but the pumpkin selection was A++. This one was just right. We paid for the base ticket, which includes admission, corn maze, and hay rides to the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins and apple picking was an additional cost - 79 cents per pound for pumpkins and $12 per 1/2 bag of apples. They also had apple cider doughnuts and cider for sale. You can pay extra for a punch card or a full access pass for the other fall activities across the street from the store. The corn maze was a real proper corn maze. It was the only corn maze that I've been to where my husband could not see over the corn. They also roped off the sides, so you couldn't cheat and just walk through the corn. We spent a solid 30 minutes in the maze! The pumpkins were legitimately still on the vine and there was a very decent selection of big and small pumpkins. For more novel pumpkins, you got them from the store. Apples were still very much available in early October and we were able to do that in addition to the pumpkin picking. All in all, Ort had everything that we had wanted and the price was right. I do recommend going early. We arrived at 10am and were in the 3rd row of parking. By the time we walked back to the car to drop off our pumpkins around 11:30am, the lot was pretty much all full and there was a long line to get in. read more

We went for pumpkin and apple picking during Columbus Day!! We were grateful that they are open with all the sun activities that they usually have on the weekend!!! It was such a fun experience for our family!! We didn't expect that they grow their own pumpkin!! So if you are looking for giant pumpkin, better bring your own scissor!! Most of the tiny small one are gone, but they do have lots of big ones.. they do have some apple trees, but unfortunately most of them are already picked (or dropped on the ground) but you can borrow a picking stick to reach to the top of the tree.. it could be fun for older kids.. but if you want to go for apple picking you might have to go in September instead of October!! As for the food truck!! Their apple cider slushy is awesome!!! It's sooo good!!! Donut in my opinion is ok... the grilled corn is so good too!!! (This is all from one food truck) they also have other food truck like cheese steak, hamburger, hot dogs, etc!! We bought our ticket online, but the line for those who has ticket is longer than those who didn't get ticket.. kinda funny!! Everyone who works there are very nice and helpful!! Would definitely go back!! read more

We knew we were too late for apple picking. So we picked somewhere with pumpkins also. They actually grow their own pumpkins. There was only a little bit of apple left. The farm is not overwhelming big but has enough to keep everyone happy. There's plenty to do for the kids. We love their apple cider slushy. The roasted corn was so sweet. We bought some apple cider donuts, they were pretty good but we prefer the ones from cider mills. Overall, we had a wonderful time there. read more

I visited Ort Farms for the first time last year and had a great time but unfortunately this year when I returned I was left disappointed. From the parking lot, the path leads you to the ticket area to buy tickets for the PYO apples and corn maze as well as the market. Across the street there are the animals along with some food trucks and activities like pony rides, a children's cow train and the apple cannon which is what brought us to the farm. Last year you had to pay an admission fee to pick apples and do the corn maze but all other activities were separate and pay as you go so we were apple to access the apple cannon easily to only do that. This year however after we already paid $10 to do the just the apple cannon we were told we needed to also get a wrist band to even enter the area which was $13/person so we decided not to do it and got a refund. We did not want to pay almost $40 for two people to just do the apple cannon! We were frustrated because no one told us that before we bought the apple cannon tickets and it's a steep price for admission when you also have to pay to do the apple cannon. We do enjoy the ambiance and feeding the farm animals but unfortunately we probably won't return now read more

Had a wonderful experience at Ort Farm with my dog, friends, and their dogs. We came during Halloween weekend and it was cute seeing other dogs costume. We got to pick out some pumpkins, we weren't able to pick out apples since they were cleaned up for this weekend. The apple cider I purchased tasted so good and fresh! I also purchased a strawberry roll cake and personally was not a fan of it. It was a bit too sweet for my liking and tasted like they used cupcake icing instead of cream. I also purchased apple butter and might try to make a quick and easy small apple pie pocket utilizing it. They had pony rides and farm animals you can check out and feed. I came pretty late, when I checked out the farm animals, they were all pretty full already. There were carrots surrounding the horses and goat and they were done eating for that day but I see that the kids still kept trying to feed and approach the animals, so if you want to give the kids that experience, come earlier when they aren't fed yet. I would also like to advice if you bring your dog, to put booties on them. There were a bunch of these small pointy balls on the ground that would randomly get stuck on my dogs fur (poodle mix) and taking them out of her was difficult since it got blend in with her fur. It was also a bit painful removing them. Overall a great experience! read more

the donuts and ice cream they serve here is so GOOD i love the animals and i love visiting them especially this little black kitty who wanders the farm i love all of the activities you can do here i would very much recommend you get apple cider that's hot as it is amazing the staff here is very kind and they are understandable the whole vibe of this place is fun and free you should definitely try the corn maze I went there twice and could not escape either of those times but still super fun the ride to go get pumpkins was also super fun and the view is so pretty shooting the apples at the car is also very fun and i would recommend definitely a great place for family and friends also they have really really cute merchandise especially the stuffed animals :)))) overall i love ort farms!! read more

Honestly, we were lured in by the promise of their baked goods, not necessarily their activities. The blueberry doughnuts were an interesting change from the usual apple cider doughnuts I see and get. They were tasty, a tad bit dry but with a nice blueberry flavor. We also got a strawberry pie, blackberry pie, and a mini cherry pie. The cherry pie was fantastic, perfectly tart, and by far my favorite. The strawberry pie, on the other hand, was way too syrupy sweet, so I wasn't a fan. I'm not a big blackberry fan, but my friend loved this one the most. I regret that I didn't get any of their bread loaves. They had some interesting flavors like a bacon, egg, and cheese loaf, plus a few other yummy-sounding savory versions. There was also a blueberry lemonade slushee machine, and I'm kicking myself for not getting a cup to try. As for the non-food elements, we mainly saw a bunch of kid-friendly activities, so I'm not sure if child-free adults would have as much fun here, but it's worth stopping by! read more

Visited Ort Farms for their Easter Egg hunt. It was well organized and we enjoyed it. Decided to come do strawberry picking here as well. Wowza! Ordered our tickets online. The walk to the field is not bad. The quality of strawberries blew my mind. We went to a different place last year and Ort blew them out of the water. My daughter just tasted one of the strawberries we picked and exclaimed, "Now this is fresh tasting!" The cost of the tickets, plus the strawberries, plus a big purchase in the store cost us $56. If we went to another place, it would have been $46 for just strawberries and tickets alone. We will continue to come back to Ort year after year. read more

This is one of the only dog friendly farms in NJ which is pretty cool! Dogs are allowed basically everywhere - on weekends and busy times they're not allowed on hay rides. This is a nice farm but it's relatively small. It's much more low key than Alstede Farms which is 5 minutes down the road. I much prefer Alstede but they're very restrictive with dogs. Came here for their fall celebration during Halloween weekend - admission was $10 which included the corn maze and pumpkin patch. Apple picking was done for the season. The pumpkin patch was closed the day we went which was a bummer. The corn maze is pretty small and incredibly easy - especially with a dog. There's a cute market before you leave. The apple cider donuts were mediocre - they didn't taste super fresh. There were food trucks, a petting zoo, a brewery stand and some kid jungle gyms/play areas across the street. There wasn't a lot of seating. The food trucks were fine but incredibly overpriced. There were pony rides, a kids train and an apple canon that I didn't get to look into. As someone that doesn't have a kid, it wasn't very appealing. I left feeling very underwhelmed especially considering all the $10 admission covered was the corn maze. read more

A very cute little farm! My wife took me here when we first started dating years ago, and last year we came with our kid! The parking lot is on 1 side of the road, and the farm fun stuff is on the other side. Do not worry, the cops help stop traffic and help you cross the street! For the fall harvest festival, you can buy tickets ahead online, or wait on line when you get there. We purchased ahead of time. They need to get larger signs to indicate pre-order vs standby... We waited in the wrong line for some time without realizing. For the fall harvest festival, they let you purchase a stamp book for $10 and you get $12 worth of stuff from it. The price you pay is admission only!!! Train rides, apple cannon, etc are all extra and you can use that card! It also works on their snack cart. They sell coffee tea apple cider and single apple cider donuts etc. The local volunteer fire department sells hot food, I was hoping for a tad bit more than burger, dog, pretzel, fries, but 2021 was probably a bit slower, so it was probably better to stay with safer options. When we started packing up and leaving, a ice cream truck rolled in. They had plenty of things to do and see! You can easily spend 3-4 hours here. There are tons of fun things for kids to climb on, great phot ops all over! They also have a trail with all their animals. I would say kids 2ish plus will have the best time here. Up until the age of 8 or so, anything older than that, I do not think that kids that age will really enjoy themselves here. It is mostly for younger kids. This past time my kid was too young to fully enjoy the whole farm but hopefully this year he will! When you are ready to go back, they have a farmers market with pumpkins and tons of cakes, cookies, pies, etc for sale. Farm fresh milk cheese etc. Al the baked goods we purchased were stellar!! All in all a great way to spend an afternoon! Especially for younger kids. read more

PROS: I have to say, despite the front of the place looking a little plain I really liked it. They had concessions, fast check in, fast hay ride pick ups, a good variety of healthy pumpkins, petting zoo, activities for the kids, and they even have monster truck riding. The prices are amazing between admission and charges for pumpkin. The staff here are also very nice. Tons of parking and good amount of space for sitting and eating CONS: Two things, first is that when you buy tickets online for a day, and lets say it rains, they will not give you a rain check or a refund. I feel like one of those is due if you can't come cause of nature. Also the website said sold out for tickets at the particular time my friend group was going. Additional friends wanted to join but since it said sold out they didn't go. Meanwhile they were accepting walk ins which defeated the purpose. OVERALL: Definitely one of the better pumpkin patches I went to and I may go back here at another year. Come early because parking is impossible read more

Came here a few weeks ago with my siblings and nephews. We had ordered the tickets online the day before. I don't think this is necessary if you're coming early, but also I don't think there's any benefit to ordering online if you're coming late because you're still going to have to wait in an extremely long line to pick up your tickets. Anyways moral of the story, come early, before 1:00pm unless you like to wait in lines then you go do you. It's definitely a nice family friendly place to go to. There's rides, food, a petting zoo, orchards and a market. We arrived pretty early around 9:30 and had no issues picking up our tickets. We went to the farmer's market first and bought a couple of things. There's the typical produce and other items that are prepared such as donuts, candied apples and etc. They also have a couple of fridges with local meats which is pretty cool. Here's some pro tips: Pony ride - totally not worth it. I think it was $6 or 7 a person and last all of 2 seconds. It's two circles around. The guides are so fast the Flash didn't even have enough time to attempt to save Hell's Kitchen. Bad joke, but in reality I barely had enough time to take pictures of the kids on the ponies before that ride was over. Monster truck ride - definitely worth checking out for the kids. I think this was $6 per seat. Remember this is per seat so if you have a 2 year old or younger who is sitting on your lap you don't need a ticket. We made that mistake so ended up with an extra ticket. No refunds my friends. Petting zoo - nice assortment of animals, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, mini-cow, horses and a few bunnies. Hay ride - this was basically to and from the orchard. if you really want you can walk it but it's pretty far. Pumpkin orchard - lots of pumpkins to choose from but because I'm all about efficiency I would rather just get the pumpkins at the market since the pricing is the same and I don't need to carry it for so long. Corn maze - we had issues getting the map/instructions from the QR code so we gave up after walking through for about 20 minutes. Got to give up props though, we were able to find 1 marker Food - not sure if this is always there, but there was an area in the middle that had burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, and chili. Nuggets were really good, they had the texture of Mcdonald's nuggets and the flavor of Chinese take out chicken wings. Burger is meh. And the chili, granted I did not eat it myself, but I was told that it was flavorful and hearty. Lastly there's lots of things to accommodate fun picture taking, tractor, buggy and cut outs. Make sure you explore and take lots of pictures all around the grounds. read more

Ort Farms is our go to farm throughout the season for strawberry picking, apple picking, and pumpkin/fall festivities. The strawberries if you go at the perfect time are so big and juicy. We make it a point to come every season! They have so many family friendly activities that are affordable. This year we tried the monster trucks, pony rides, and apple picking which we loved! They usually have food vendors which are pretty good as well. read more

Came here around 12pm on a Sunday with a group of six friends to check out the farm's pumpkin patch. We reserved our tickets in advance in case we couldn't get in on the day of! When we first got there I had the impression that it wouldn't be too crowded since we had reservations, but when we pulled up it was a bit overwhelming to see the number of people by the market area and parking lots. Social distancing in that area was kind of difficult. We lined up to take the hay ride to the patch and wow..it was the roughest ride I've taken. To the patch and back we were thrown around and felt each rock, bump and turn. I guess it made the ride more interesting, but be prepared. Dogs are allowed on the patch but it's a bit of a walk from the entrance to the patch as dogs are not allowed on the hay ride. The patch itself looked unkept but you could really pick some huge pumpkins here! And it was cool to see where they grew! There were quite a few of bugs and the pumpkins were fairly dispersed so if you came for a photoshoot you'd have to look for patches or move the pumpkins together. They have other activities on the farm, including pony rides, apple cannon and a corn maze. We didn't get to go check it out but these activities would be fun for families! We stopped by the market to pick up some apple cider and apple cider donuts. The apple cider was very refreshing and not overly sweet. The apple cider donuts are a must--they were super spongey and moist with a flecks of cinnamon sugar in the donut while having the subtle apple taste. Overall, the farm was okay, but don't think I'd be back, unless for the donuts! read more

This pick your own (apples or pumpkins) farm was a superb experience. This location allows you to bring your pups with you so they can pick their own as well! I came with a group of friends and we all brought our dogs and it was super fun for them. The area is huge with plenty to check out! From farm animals, to corn mazes, to pony rides and so much more. They have tons of food trucks and options there which was super convenient. They also have free parking which was a great freebie. The area was nice and the scenic view of all the changes trees in the background was phenomenal. They also sell apple or pumpkin treats! I bought some apple cider juice as well as donuts and they were both delicious. The apple cider was incredible. The area was packed with people but it had enough room to accommodate well, you can easily lose multiple hours just exploring the entire area! Overall was a great experience for my group as well as the dogs. Would definitely recommend if you haven't been to a pick your own farm with your puppy companion. read more

Was looking to check out a different farm this year and Ort Farm was a great option. We went on a Monday during a school holiday and the place was not crowded at all. Typically I like to steer away from "circus like" farms during the fall season that charge you crazy entrance fees. Ort Farm was reasonably priced for what was included. ~$17 for kids/$10 for adults which includes: - Corn maze - Pony ride (kids only) - Train ride (kids only) - Apple Shooting - Hay ride to the Pumpkin patch Surprisingly apple shooting was my favorite and very satisfying. Essentially they have this military like artillery in which you load apples and shoot at targets. Also Ort farm is a legit farm with lots of various crops, melons, tomatoes, eggplant, corn, sunflowers, and lots more. They also just recently planted apple trees but they say it will take another 3-4 years before they start growing fruit. For lunch, they had a food cart serving burgers/hot dogs, but unfortunately around 1:30 they were gone. So we had to find lunch elsewhere. However, they do sell various baked goods, including the obligatory apple cider donuts, which were quite yummy. Overall a very positive experience and was only about 45 mins from me. read more

Such a cute farm. At first sight, I wanted to get back in the car and go home. The shop didn't have fun, fresh home baked goods. It was very generic stuff. Only portable toilets. However, the staff! Guys, you make it! The disabled person with us was welcomed, noticed and included. We had THE best time. We pet baby animals, rode a cow train and played on the bus. I'd go back any day to a place that makes us feel seen. Thank you for training your staff about disabilities and bending over backwards to make us feel welcome. read more

Beautiful farm! My boyfriend and I went yesterday, we had an amazing time! It was Tuesday, so it wasn't crowded which we very much liked.

We had bought tix last week to go Strawberry Picking and the day we decided to go it was raining. We had the option to reschedule but decided to go. It was wet but not rainy and we were dressed for it and the strawberries were great!!! What really annoyed me was that we had tickets (punch cards) for hayrides and pony rides and they were cancelled today.... so they told me we could use the cards for donuts or ice cream. No refunds, fine- but they wouldn't credit the amount to the cost of strawberries and wouldn't let my kids use them for cupcakes or Whoopi pies.... just said we could get 6 ice cream bars per card or whatever it was. We left with 12 donuts and will probably never go back. Just poor service. On a day like today they should be happy anyone was there to pick strawberries. read more

We couldn't ask for a better day than today as both of us were off and the weather cooperated beautifully. Thanking to one of our friends advice and ventured to this awesome farm in Morris county with a small produce market. My partner has been looking for beef steak tomatoes and had them here. They had more activities than the one yesterday at Secor Farms. This was more of a working farm that offered the usually hay ride, corn maze and petting zoo. They also had apple cannon, train rides, hay pyramid, hay tunnel and monster trucks for extra enjoyment. We highly recommend this place and no admission fee. read more

$8 / head (kids and adults) to get the hayride to the pumpkin patch. $0.70 / lb to buy the pumpkins you pick. Arrived at 4pm on Sat Oct 23 which is admittedly late in the season with our 6 year old and 4 year old A couple observations: - it was quite crowded, parking lot about 95% full, and it's a big one. Generally they do a good job managing the crowds but some long lines couldn't be avoided. You don't get the 'peaceful farm' vibe with that many people, but it's not a bad vibe at all. - Hayride is excellent actually. It's about 7 minutes there and 7 minutes back, they have multiple tractors / trailers and so though the line looked pretty long it moved quickly - by the time one trailer was loaded and on its way the next one was already there ready for the guests to disembark and reload. It's extremely scenic with both a (small) portion through a corn field and great views of the surrounding vista of fall foliage throughout. Trailer actually has real bales of hay that you sit on :-) - There are no wheelbarrows or other carrying aides at the pumpkin patch itself so anything you pick you need to be able to carry out on your own. Be aware of this when you come with small children! - Pumpkin patch was quite picked over when we went. In about 20 minutes of searching I could not find a pumpkin that didn't have some sort of mold or misshapen character. I ended up finding two ones that were fine, if a little misshapen, just needed the mud scrubbed off of them when we got home. Others seemed to have better luck so perhaps I am just bad at pumpkin finding - after the hayride, carrying the pumpkins while waiting in line to pay for them is kind of painful. Would be nice if they provided a long table, cart, wheelbarrow, or something while you wait. - while waiting in line there are lots of awesome things in the line: apple butter, apple cider donuts, apple cider, gords, mini pumpkins, etc. However, with no cart and already holding the picked pumpkins it's hard to carry it all while you are waiting in line. The do provide bags once you are in the front of the line, but the pumpkins won't fit in them, only the fun extra stuff. I guarantee if they solved this problem they would sell way more of the 'extra' stuff. - in theory once you pay there are wheelbarrows you can borrow to haul your pumpkins to the parking lot but I never found any available - all in use, so we carried them. - Last hayride leaves for the patch at 5pm. The activities and food trucks across the street start winding down then with the official closing time of 5:30. - The very best thing across the street for kids is the really cool play structures, clearly custom built by someone really skilled and thoughtful about making things for kids. There is a train, a pirate ship, a tractor, a covered wagon, etc - the kids had fun playing on them for an hour, and they are totally free. (would have given 3 stars but added a star for these sweet play structures) - the cash only activities across the street are pretty creative - apple shooting and monster trucks are pretty cool (monster truck does not go over obstacles, but speeds off to the other end of the field, does donuts, and comes back) - did not do these since I was with our young kids but the people doing them looked like they were having fun. The kid one we did do is a cow train pulled in a circle / figure 8s by a tractor. Kids liked it, $3 / kid. read more

Ort Farms - hayride to the pumpkin patch late oct - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Long Valley, New Jersey

Here's the Deal: always respect family businesses who last generations... this is only based off of a fall day weaving through the masses flocking to the farm. 1st) $5.00 to get in (whether u buy anything or not) You apparently can make reservations to avoid certain lines. So some farms charge to park others charge to get in (pick your poison). 2) there is NO APPLE PICKING HERE! (Maybe I didn't read something correctly) 2a) they have a small market area which has seasonal fruit and vegetables also some meats & poultry & baked goods available in the market as well Not sure if any goods are made on premises?? 2b) there is food trucks across the street (like at a carnival) cheese steaks .. sausage & peppers etc They also have monster truck rides which looked pretty cool 3) best suited for younger kids for hay rides & pumpkin picking. Overall nice place. I went with teens & we didn't stay long because it seemed better suited for younger kids. Overall good to see family business surviving However I think I'm partial to farms that allow roaming in apple orchards & places you can throw a blanket down and enjoy some snacks. Enjoy! Social distance not so easy to do there. But it looked like everyone had masks on. Also have hand washing station near the porta-potty read more
