Very family oriented, fresh to table produce, can join in a farm share and get the best freshest weekly crop pick. Its called CSA. They have a choice in the size depending on how many you are feeding in your household. They are prepared for a fresh pick up once a week during the seasonal months. This working family has been located on this land for over 100 years. They begin there first season in the spring selling the most beautiful selection of herbs, flowers, and plants, hanging baskets or plant your own! As well as the first crop of seasonal vegetables. Pick your own strawberries starts approximately late April to May. Pick your own peaches and nectarines begin approximately July. Pick your own pumpkins and several varieties of apples starts around September through October. During the month of October they also have weekend festivals. You can make s family day trip. They also carry all the trimmings from mums to sugar pumpkins, to fresh baked goods to decorate your home for the holidays and set a beautiful Thanksgiving table. When the winter holidays come you can make a tradition of picking a living tree and cutting it down or choose from one of the pre-cuts. They also sell all the tree trimmings, wreaths, and cemetery blankets. At this time the winter seasonal farm fresh vegetables are available. You will be surprised for every season there are new fruits and vegetables located in there quaint country store such as muffins, pies, old fashioned canned products. They also sell farm fresh honey and dairy products during the seasonal times.The prices are very reasonable! I love the feel of walking in and they treat you like family! These hard working farmers are very generous and donate daily to soup kitchens and many other places.

While this a cute little farm it leaves A LOT to be desired. We came here for my sons class trip this week (10/5). The hayride around the farm was OK. The horses were a little on the thin side but nice and calm. There also were coops with chickens and turkeys inside. Turkeys didnt look too good either. The Farmer brought around a pretty hen for the kids to meet and pet. After the hayride the group was divided to apple and pumpkin pick alternately. The guide for this had very little patience for the children (3 & 4 year olds) and even raised her voice when trying to give directions for picking. This made the teachers as well as a few of the parents uncomfortable. In the future when having large groups the farm should consider having more than 1 guide to lead the groups. And also maybe having assigning this task to somebody with little more patience with small children. I give the farm a 3 star rating because it was nice for the age group that we took, but I will be suggesting to the school that they locate another local farm to attend.

Ugh. Our first real tree and my sons first trip to a Christmas tree farm had been such a good experience until...we were overcharged $15 on the tree. A 5 ft. tree thats $9/ft. (plus tax) shouldnt cost $63. Simple math, but we were distracted by the cashier talking to my son. Then she gave no receipt and handed the change back to me instead of my husband who had paid. Then we waited 15 min in the cold while a guy (who said he had never done it before) put new plastic netting onto the tree baling thing. On the way back we realized the overcharge and called them. My husband made the 20 min trip back where they refunded the overcharge and gave him some cider and a tree disposal bag (which was nice). Im not entirely clear if this was a genuine mistake or a "mistake," but if you go here, make sure to watch and get an itemized receipt. The selection of trees was good, but the hassle with the payment left a bad taste in my mouth.

Its a nice and different experience doing this. We didnt have a lot of luck because we went on Sunday middle afternoon. There were not a lot of ripe strawberries, but enough to pick up 2 lb for me and my wife. You wont find a nice looking strawberry or cheaper that Costco, for example, but you are paying for the experience of picking up your own fruit. There were a lot of kids and I think that they enjoy their time in the farm. Their country store was nice and small, with a small selection of fruit and vegetables, but again, youll find better prices in other places. You are paying for supporting local farmers.

Trees were pruned to the point of almost being bare. A quarter to half of the tree was bald. $7.00-$10.00 per foot was quoted it should be more like $.07-$.10 a foot. Very disappointed. You drive up to a few workers standing around playing Christmas music on a $20.00 radio. Very classy establishment. If your looking for an oversized, overpriced Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.....this is the place to go!

We went there for Apple picking last Sunday, if was a good experience. The staff is friendly and helpful. We went there for Pick Your Own Apples and considering the fact that it was PYO the prices shouldve been quite lower. If you are trying to save some money to get fresh apples I would say its better to go to your local grocery stores.

Compared to other farms weve been to this one was smaller, but the variety was very good, they have a hey ride, corn maze, vegetables, pumpkin picking, apple and peach picking and the smaller size means I dont have to walk around all day. This will be our third time going here.

Its nice, they have some apple picking, hay rides and a small one maze. I think itnis great for a fun day around halloween. For Apple picking I have to been some in NY and I thought those were better. Overall a nice day out just a bit pricey.

Close by why go anywhere... My family love that Rutgers scarlet strawberry, their corn is sweet and nice size too. Looking forward for apple picking. While summer is here I will enjoy what they have nice stuff they have. Will be right back.
