About
Keep your eyes peeled for gray treefrogs, eastern tiger salamanders, bald eagles, northern diamondback terrapin, and so much more on this leisurely morning paddle down the Tuckahoe River. Our public paddles are appropriate for paddlers of all levels, but children must be able to paddle adequately on their own in their own kayak.
After your paddle, head back to the homestead to tour the farm and enjoy a late lunch. After lunch, collect eggs from our organically fed free-range hens and hand-select six stems per person from our flower gardens. While you relax with the monarchs and hummingbirds, we will wash and package your eggs and arrange your flowers for you to take home.
This package does not include food. If you’re interested in a locally-sourced picnic lunch basket, you can add a “Nosh” upgrade at check-out for each guest. Nosh upgrades will include the best tastes of the Pinelands: think local cheese, artisanal seeded honey, seasonal fruits and veggies, local bread, etc. Vegan and vegetarian baskets are available upon request. Guests are also welcome to bring their own lunch. We can keep any perishable items cold for you while you paddle.
