About
We are excited for you to join us for a hayride. In case you have never been to our farm for a hayride, here is what you can expect.
Our hayride will take you on a scenic ride of the farm, where you will pass by our pond, willow trees and fall decorations. Once you make it out to the field, feel free to explore the corn maze and pick a pumpkin.
Upon your return from your hayride, visit the animals at our petting zoo. Get your cameras ready for pictures in front of “How Tall this Fall” and the many other face cut outs scattered around the farm. Younger children will also have fun working their way through our hay maze.
In addition to pumpkins, we carry a large selection of gourds, mums, corn stalks and Halloween decorations. Be sure to check out our farm stand, which carries a variety of New York State apples, fresh pressed apple cider, home made apple cider donuts, fresh baked pies, and so much more.
Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Smaller Crowds
Weekdays and early mornings offer a quieter experience with easier access to the best pumpkins and photo spots.
Wear Sturdy Footwear
Paths can be uneven and muddy in the fall, so durable shoes or boots will keep you comfortable throughout the day.
Bring Cash or Card
The farm stand accepts both, but having exact change can speed up transactions during busy periods.
Stay Hydrated and Dress in Layers
Fall weather in New Jersey can be unpredictable; wear layers to adjust throughout the day and bring water to stay refreshed.
