Beautiful farm! Trekked out to NJ with my famiy for their annual Sunflower Festival and let me tell you.. it was so worth the drive from Queens! The farm is huge! And they have a wide selection of products inside their shop. For the festival, there were a lot of local vendors. We also got to the see the farm animals and picked some berries! As for the sunflowers.. absolutely beautiful! We got to pick some Summer flowers and sunflowers for personal bouquets we got to take home. Overall, a fun-filled day on the farm!

Bucket is FULL!

- Friendly staff everywhere, from inside the market place, throughout the picnic areas and food trucks, and into the U-pick patches - Huge farm with plenty of space to roam, play and pick; fun for the whole family - Lots of activities for the littles: multiple bicycle/cart tracks, rubber duck racing, basketball hoops; etc - Went specifically for peach picking this time (8/9): separate entry for peach patches, must purchase bag/bucket prior to entry, yellow and white peach varieties, most were firm and need time to fully ripen/soften - Visited early this year for strawberry picking (6/15): grounds were wet, soggy and muddy due to rain, plenty of plump, juicy strawberries to go around, ground level so tiny children are able to pick their own

Huge farm, lots to do and would probably be beyond busy on the special occasion, festivity days during peak picking times. We ended up visiting this Von Thun location (the other being in South Brunswick) on a super soggy, wet June day just as strawberry picking season was coming to a close and even though the weather wasn't ideal, our family STILL really enjoyed our time here. There were probably only 20-30 other people here at most, but it felt even less considering how large the grounds are here. The lack of folks definitely had to do with the weather as it rained most of the day, but when we arrived the rain had just stopped, so it worked out PERFECTLY. Since it did rain, unfortunately, the farm was a mud slop of a trail and our shoes/sneakers were drenched after picking, but it was great in that there was BARELLLLY anyone here so we had our pick of the farm and didn't have much competition in picking strawberries. Even though the conditions weren't ideal, we picked a massssssive, overflowing bucket of super beautiful and fresh strawberries along with some raspberries too. A lot of strawberries were beat up, but once we got deeper into the strawberry area, we found tons of perfect strawberries. The farm does not allow for eating while picking, but we couldn't help but try a few of the strawberries because they were soooo fresh. AND, we observed plenty of other folks doing the same, so we definitely weren't the only ones. There was also a huge play area too on the farm that we can imagine that if it were busy would be pretty chaotic. Overall, this is a greaaat, greaat farm for picking and we hope to be back on a nice day where we can experience the full offerings of the farm.

We were there on the opening day of 2025 Sunflower Festival and Peach Fest, August 2, Saturday. Gorgeous 1st Day, beautiful weather. Von Thun Farms is a well maintained place with wonderful, knowledgeable, trained and well behaved staffs. You can see for yourself how the festival signage with staffs to guide you on the farm. Lots of portable toilets around the farm and well taken care off. Stunning summer flowers adorn the farm with the Sunflowers as the star of place. Lots of lovely flowers you can pick at reasonable price as well as peach , blackberries and other fruits you can pick too. If you don't like to pick you can get it at their farm market. Second time to visit and definitely not the last. We will be back before summer ends. Von Thun Farms is one of the best farm i was able to visit . Thank you Von Thun Farms for a wonderful, memorable visit.

A wonderful fall experience! Upon arrival it appears much smaller than meets the eye! However there is so much to do! A perfect location for kids, adult kids and families! There is something for everyone, we did their corn maze, apple picking , pumpkin patch picking, hay ride, we went through the berry picking but was told that we weren't allowed in there, they did have delicious raspberries however . There are so many activities such as pulling a tractor to test the skills and strength of the macho and strong minded. A bee nest, petting zoo, shooting range. Very insta worthy with a beautiful background of the mountains! Food is pretty decent as well from beer to burgers to waffles! Highly recommend visiting, it was about $35 per person and $25 for a lathe bag of pick your own apples. Also a beautiful sunflower field makes for cute shots!

Even though the sun wasn't shining today, the sunflowers were so pretty. I had fun meandering through the fields to see all the wildflowers. There are so many great photo ops. There's also a hayride! We also pickedand grabbed lunch from the food trucks, then ended with apple cider donuts. The live music and vendors made it even more fun. Be sure to stop into the market for some yummy treats and beverages.

We usually do these places on a weekend as a family and they're busy but we found ourselves having the place to our self basically on a Wednesday morning as a day date just us 2. It was really beautiful and lots to do. Family friendly. The staff were nice. The peach cider is a must try as are the honey lollipops. Definitely recommend!

A whole lot of family fun. There's a nice little shopping shopping area. Followed by farm animals. Then there's a whole section of games & fun things to do. There's a hay ride that takes you to an area where you can strawberry pick. I really enjoyed myself here & so did my family. Highly recommend. Two thumbs all the way up!

A few friends of mine had visited this farm during the summer and I loved how adorable it looked in pictures, so I got my own small group together to explore the place for myself during Fall Festival weekends. In order to visit the farm, it is strongly recommended to purchase tickets ahead of time to allow for social distancing. The price for general admission is $12.99. For an additional $6, the ticket includes a bag of apples (which was actually tiny, but I managed to fit 8 apples in there). As soon as we arrived, I was excited by the super cute red barn, which housed many fruit, veggie, apple cider donuts, jam, butter, honey, and more options inside. There were orange and white pumpkins, as well as nice flowers all around the entrance. There was also a large red tractor in front of the barn, which made for some good photo opportunities. The first thing we did was apple picking. There were 2 different types of apples, but I wanted to try the apples from the restricted area because they looked soo good! However, I stayed in the sections we were allowed to be in. I picked several large apples, as well as a few small ones. They were all perfectly round, and when I tried them later, tasted delightfully crisp, sweet, and fresh. We then headed to the Sunflower Field, which I was happy to see because I didn't think they were going to have that still up. The sunflowers were lovely, very bright and happy looking. Also by the sunflower field was a pretty life sized blue butterfly, which made for nice pictures. Next, we went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch, which was quite fun and the bales of hay we sat on were much more comfortable than they looked. Along the way, we spotted many Disney character cut outs, which was very charming. There were a bunch of family friendly games, including ring toss, checkers with mini pumpkins, shooting basketball, tug of war. The one we actually tried were the pedal cars, which was great to feel like a kid again! Pony rides were available, but only for children unfortunately. There were a few other animals around for petting, but they were not that lively. Then there was the corn maze and after that, we checked out the field of colorful wildflowers. On display was a life-size pink butterfly, which was even more beautiful than the blue one. The flowers were absolutely aesthetically pleasing, shining like jewels of pink, orange, yellow, red, and deep purple. We ended our time at the farm with visiting the little market store, where I bought apple cider donuts, pumpkin butter, gourmet soap, a rice crispy treat unicorn, and blackberry cider. Mmmm! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, as well as knowledgeable about the place. I would have enjoyed it if there were more fruits (like berries) to pick, but perhaps they are all out of season. There is no hot food of any kind sold on the premises. Also, only portable potties available, which we used only once when we first arrived and at that time, they were still fairly clean. Overall, my friends and I definitely had an enjoyable time!

What a cute, festive farm! We stopped by after a hike for some cider and donuts. The line was long…read morebut it moved very quickly, and the options inside were worth the wait! The gluten free chocolate chip bread is to die for, and same for the cider. I was pleasantly surprised by the cider dog and cider beans as well! The weekend we went there was also a couple small businesses with tents that were extremely cool and had great products

I took my kids and visiting family here on a Thursday when the kids had no school. I hear it can…read moreget crowded on the weekends, but on Thursday when we arrived a little before noon, it wasn't bad. They had a steady stream of newcomers but not too crowded. It was fairly easy to find though going there, my map told me to go down a treacherous gravel road which I wasn't terribly fond of. They have a moderately sized parking lot and you'll see this large, red barn. That's where you get your goodies (there's often a line) and where their store is. We stopped by for a treat first. They sell ice cream, cider floats, and what is a "TikTok famous" coffee float with donut. We got: Cider ($4) - I didn't actually drink this. I got it for my kid with food allergies. He wanted ice cream but they do not know if the ice cream they use contains eggs or not so we played it safe. My kid thought it was okay but finally finished it later. He typically prefers regular apple juice. Cider float with donut - you have a choice of no donut for $2 less. It's like a root beer float but with cider instead of root beer, black and orange sprinkles around the time of the cup, whipped cream, and a powdered cider donut over it all. I shared this with my daughter. That donut was delicious! Warm, tender, and crisp on the outside. The drink was great! I do wish it came with a spoon because it got difficult finishing the last of it. Warning: if you have one of these, the bees are coming for you. They use some sort of caramel-like sauce to get the sprinkles to stick. Overall, quite good. Maple cider donut ($3): my sister got this and she said it was amazing, but she said she thought $3 was a bit much (the unglazed donuts are $1.25 each). She's vegan, so didn't partake in the float, but she also wasn't going to ask if there's milk in the donut. If you're getting only donuts, they are purchased in the store. They have tables and chairs nearby for you to picnic and enjoy your treats. Going through the gates, there was a table but they were busy with other people so we walked right in. There is no entrance fee, which was nice. You go through the apple orchard first. It seems like most of the apples have been picked through, though there are a lot of developing apples. Some of the nicer ones were way too tall for us; they don't provide ladders. We only managed to find one that looked nice. At the end, there used to be a sunflower field and the corn maze. It's epic but you don't know how formidable until you're past the point of return and realize it's not a kids maze. We were in there for a while! Even met other kids that thought they'd be lost forever. The corn stalks are taller than a human and they're pretty dense so you can't look over or through them. It's a true maze and I was impressed. I wish they would provide a paper maze puzzle of the corn maze because I'm so curious how it is from above. Lots of dead ends. What I can say is don't lose hope. You'll get there! (When we finally found the exit, it was almost like a dream because we had been staring at corn for so long.) In hindsight, it was good we ate something first. Once done, we explored the sunflowers and saw the pumpkin patch. As we headed out, we went to pay for our lone apple and we discovered THE CORN MAZE IS NOT FREE. It's $10 per adult and $5 per kid. They charged us $1 for the single apple. I guess they work on the honor system? I didn't mind much because that maze clearly took planning. Before we left, we visited the store full of baked goodies. I got a few cider donuts, a dumpling, and a piece of crumb cake because they just brought out a fresh tray. Plus a lattice harvest pie. The pies with crumble aren't vegan, but the lattice pies are made of vegetable shortening. Restrooms! They have a row of port-a-potties by the parking lot. They're actually the cleanest ones I've been to before. No sinks but they do have a dispenser of antibacterial hand gel. The openings are a bit large so if your kid needs to use the toilets, hold onto them. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and I definitely think everyone should go through a corn maze of this caliber at least once in their life. The apple pickings were sparse but at least you get delicious floats and donuts! Note: they have gluten free goodies in the store but they are nut based (almond flour). They also had one gluten free-vegan item.

There were food truck vendors everywhere, plenty of fun picture cutouts for adorable photos, and we even got to pick our own pumpkins! They also offer the option to pick your own apples and other vegetables, as well as cut your own flowers, for an additional fee. Such a fun way to make the experience even more special! There was so much for the kids to enjoy, from checking out the animals and jumping on the gigantic trampoline to exploring the kid-sized corn maze and playing on the playground! They even had an ice cream shop and a farm store, which were great additions. Overall, it was a wonderful fall outing with something for everyone.

I get that they have maintenance and operating costs, but the pumpkins alone cost 85¢ a pound to pick, and the admission is now over $18 a head. Again, they have expenses. But this year they ruined the entire layout of the farm. It used to be the pick-your-own fields, hay ride, corn maze and store were on one side of the road, and the petting zoo and food trucks were across the road. Now that second field is empty and everything is crammed on one side of the road. They entirely lost the farm feel and it's like being at some town festival with hundreds of people crammed in, all on one half of the farm. Time to find somewhere else. It's a shame, they ruined a great layout.

This is a New Jersey Buffalo Ranch that sells at farmers markets. I'm up for trying something new and although I don't eat meat very often I love cheese.

He told me about other farmers markets where they sell. You can find Riverine at these markets:Union Square- Wed/SatInwood- Saturdays79TH & Columbus-SundaysJackson Heights- Sundays East 94 Street and 1st Avenue Sundays I recommend you bring an ice pack and your cooler!

Completely not worth the money. The vendor was pushy, and there were no samples. Honestly, if you're selling an overpriced specialty cheese, why not let people taste it first? Instead, it was essentially, "Buy this overpriced cheese, it's great!" Ugh. No. Let me try it first! This is becoming my personal theory: no samples, no great product. If you're confident in what you're selling, let the product speak for itself. Save your 20 and buy something you can actually taste before committing.
