    Brewery on site!!!

    So many things to do with family or on a cute date. I came with my family and friends to do apple picking with the kids. We had a large group but everyone was able to enjoy themselves and pick plenty of apples. They also had other produce available such as peppers, squash, egg plants etc. Thst was also a great experience. Live music and a simple option to eat if hungry. You will have a good time

    We came here to celebrate fall festivities. The farm is in a beautiful area of New Jersey, and the farm itself is beautiful. When we pulled in, it was very busy but we had no trouble finding parking. There is a main area, which is free to enter. They sell food and drinks here, which is where I purchased the caramel apple nachos. These were a great idea. They're way less sticky and messy than regular caramel apples because you can eat them with a fork. They layer the caramel and apples so you get just enough caramel in each bite. The apples also come with a topping (M&Ms, sprinkles, etc.) but I preferred mine plain. The main area also has a produce stand, a small petting zoo, a place to buy pumpkins and corn, and a live band. Overall the farm is great and we had a lot of fun. I am knocking off a few starts because there is another part of the farm that you have to wait in line for and purchase a pass for. This part of the farm is for apple picking, pumpkin picking, produce picking, and hayrides. Having to wait on a line and purchase a pass ruined the vibe a bit. Most places let you ride the hay ride for free and you can still explore the picking areas without paying extra, and then choose if you want to purchase anything. Here, you are completely blocked off from accessing the fields unless you pay a hefty price for a pass.

    We had a great time picking blueberries, raspberries and sour cherries, during the Blueberry Festival.

    Nice place to spend time with the family. The farm is well maintained and organized. We went during Blueberry Festival and they had kids' fun activities, live music and tasty ice-cream. It was very hot, I wish they had more shady places to sit down and relax.

    The peaches made the whole thing worth it

    Two Manhattanites seeking a true American summer experience hit the jackpot with Alstede Farms. We did Pick-Your-Own and left with a bounty: peaches, sweet corn, peppers, eggplant, and wildflowers, plus a renewed sense of seasonal joy. We skipped the tractor shuttle and walked the whole way, which added to the charm under perfect skies. Inside the farm store, we shared two scoops of on-site made ice cream, cherry pistachio and peach; and both were unforgettable. These flavors deserve distribution in NYC. We stocked up on F.R.O.G. jam (fig, raspberry, orange, ginger), strawberry rhubarb preserves, peach mango salsa, and tortilla chips so fresh they belong in high-end Mexican restaurants. The sourdough bread was bakery-quality, and the fudge, while not quite Mackinac or Shore-style, was still delicious. The staff across the board, from the ticket booth to the fields to the market, were friendly, helpful, and clearly proud of what they do. The crowd was a healthy mix: families, couples, and people of all ages, each taking in the country air. Facilities were clean, and everything felt well-run. We'd absolutely go back, and recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic summer day trip. It's not cheap, but it's not overpriced either, and you get what you pay for, real food, fresh air, and an unforgettable farm experience. Some light staff training could elevate the entire visit from excellent to extraordinary, but even as-is, this is a 5-star gem.

    Man what a drive from the city to get to a farm! Came out here in late October and it's such a cute farm! Unlike most other farms, you don't have to pay to park and you don't have to pay to get to the farm. You only just buy what you wanna take home if you wanna go Apple picking and do the activities you can buy a wristband for that as well, but to come and hang out listen to music eat some good food And enjoy the animals won't break the bank. Family friendly. My kids had a great time and so did my in-laws. The town itself is super cute. If you have a chance to go check it out it's a small little Main Street, but it has a lot of charm to it. The lines get pretty big for food. The farm stand itself is pretty good. Had a lot of fresh vegetables. It's definitely busy on the weekend so be prepared to stand in line prices are reasonable.

    Wow, what a great place with awesome food and PLENTY of things to do with kids. My 3 year old had such a great time. The deserts and food were so good!!! Can't wait to go back next year !!!

    PROS: nice hayride and corn maze, pumpkin patch was good, whole set up was nice with a band, food, bonfire with s'mores CONS: some of the staff was mean. Including the young man at the checkout counter for pumpkins on the right side on the night of 10/18. Also, they're overpriced and the cost of the hayride doesn't include the pumpkin (so I snuck one out) OVERALL: it's a great experience with loads to do. But they really need to work on their pricing

    Peaches
    Tiffanie S.

    This is a really beautiful massive working farm with so many different pick your own fruits depending on the season (I was there for peaches). Be ready to drop some serious $$$, this place is expensive (the sticker shock from the farm store, $10 for a pint of strawberries although they did look delicious). I regretfully got their freezer burnt and tasteless Italian ice instead of their ice cream.

    Playful times

    Great farm!! Plenty of pets to see, feed, and touch. We bought a few beers and walked around petting all the animals. It's a Pretty big farm. It was so much fun. We bought a few pumpkins and apple cider to bring home. Overall it was a great visit. Nice seeing a lot of happy people having a good time with their families. I encourage all to stop in and take a moment to enjoy yourself.

    Alstede is probably the biggest and most popular public access farm in NJ. Gets super crowded during the weekends, so better to early and purchase tickets online to save time. They do have to lots of parking attendances to maintain the flow of cars, including one way entrance and exits. The center part of the location has ice cream stall, henhouse which is their restaurant, hot and cold coffee shop, tents for sitting area. The birthday party area, wagon wheel, animal feed, pony ride and bounce house all those things are within walkable distance. Live music is performed around the this place as well. The food served here is decent but very high prices. To pick your own fruits/vegetables/pumpkins you have to take wagon ride. Most of those roads are not paved, so lots of bumps and dust. I didn't bring any face cover but really wish I had one. The farm area is huge, lots of apple trees, huge pumpkin field, peaches, corn and variety of vegetables picking fields available. Despite all the good things there are some major inconveniences I felt during my visit. At peak time, to get any kind of food or drink it takes more than 30 minutes of wait time. The bathroom stalls are placed in main area and around the picking fields but they are not maintained throughout the day. The foot pump operated water stations run out of soup and water by 2pm. Kids have major problems using these. I hope the farm works towards improving visitor experience.

    10/10! Everyone who knows us, knows this is our favorite farm. 1.5 hour drive from home and you'll find us spending a whole summer day here picking fruits and vegetables, enjoying hot corn and our FAVORITE blueberry ice cream (top fav is the one mixed with peach), and relaxing with the live band, wine tastings and farm animals. Be prepared to walk a-lot, bring a hat, a large Stanley of water and some sunscreen. Only downside is that it can be a little pricey. Buy tickets ahead of time online and get there early as it can get a bit crowded

    Alstede is an absolutely gorgeous farm. The grounds are extensive and you can find absolutely everything here. There's an ice cream shop, a farm store, U-pick fruits, multiple food stands, hard cider, live music, hay rides, hay mazes, animals to pet and feed, pony rides, an evergreen tree maze, photo opportunities and so much more. Parking is easy, bathrooms are a level above porta potties and there's even a baby changing area. I'd consider this the 'Disney World' of local farms, and because of that it can definitely get packed out. Especially on a fall weekend. We came for strawberry picking and it was lovely. There was an abundance of fresh strawberries and they were ripe, sweet and juicy perfection. Just a few things to note. To pick the strawberries you'll need to wait for a hay ride up into the fields. There are only two tractors, so the wait is around 20-30 minutes each way, plus a 15 minute ride to the fields. Factor in at least an extra hour with this. If I had known I wouldn't have done it with little kids, and probably would have went to Ort up the street. They have much more accessible picking. But... the views from the hayride are gorgeous and obviously it's a fun experience. The only downside to all of this amazingness is the hefty price tag. Strawberry picking is 30.00 with tax. This is STEEEEEP. This does include filling the quart with strawberries (thank god) but still wildly expensive. And for that price, I think the farm could probably afford adding in a few more tractors into the rotation and making sure that both have sun covers (only one did, and if you got stuck on that tractor it was just too hot). Overall it's a gorgeous farm, there is so much to do and it's a great place to go for a fun family outing.

    Came here on the Sunday before Indigenous People's Day and boy was it busy! Everyone we encountered working here was so friendly! We were looking for a game to come pick our pumpkins and for our child to enjoy his time with kid friendly activities. Alstede Farms has a corn and evergreen trail that come with your fall ticket as well as a huge haystack "mountain" the kids will love. The bounce house, pony ride and other activities are at an extra cost and we already paid a steep $112 for 3 people so we did not experience those extras but our child did enjoy the evergreen trail and haystack mountain, he enjoys farms period so we naturally got lucky there. :) They had live music, a hot food stand, homemade ice cream, candy apples, a store and a hard cider area for 21+ It was very busy so expect to wait in line for ice cream and hot food for at least 30 min. We tried the apple cider donut sandwich which was pretty good. I would've loved the donut to be warm and have the option to get other ice cream flavors not just vanilla or chocolate but I'm glad I tried it! My son enjoyed his maple créeme milk shake with an apple cider donut on top! And my husband enjoyed his apple cider slush as well. The farm is so big, you can take the tractors to several of the stops they have along the way (apples, pumpkins, sunflower field, corn maze and vegetable picking OR you can get your steps and exercise in walking to these stops, too. We did a little bit of both and it was a nice sunny fall day so it was enjoyable. Pay for your ticket online in advance so you don't have to wait in the line day of--it was pretty long. Wear comfy shoes you don't care getting dusty from the dirt too and stay hydrated especially on a sunny warm day. We'd definitely come back here! I'd love to try a weekday where there may be less people. It was a nice experience for sure and somewhere you can spend all day at if you like to pick your own pumpkins, apples, in season veggies, etc.

    Green Valley Farms - Peanut butter cup ice cream in a waffle cone

    We love the ice cream from this farm, and became familiar with it via the Sussex…read moreCounty fair. It is always incredible. We were up in the Sussex area, so we decided to go to the actual farm to experience the real thing. The ice cream was incredible, as usual. My wife was thrilled. However, there simply isn't much here. their farmer's market left much to be desired. Maybe it was an off day, but the meat selection (despite copious advertising outside) was small and outlandishly priced. The rest of the farm stand was also very small and low on stock. We frequent Abma's Farm often, who do the same sort of thing and their market is constantly stocked to the brim and their prices are significantly lower for similar quality meat and produce. Service was kind and courteous. The land here is absolutely gorgeous. Just go with reasonable expectations.

I was shocked by how good the ice cream was here. I got the peanut butter cup, which was filled with gooey gobs of peanut butter. It tasted fresh, like the peanut butter had been hand-whipped into the luscious vanilla base. The cone was fresh too, a tasty waffle cone that would pair nicely with many of their flavors. Beyond that, the women working the stand were all nice, and the prices were very reasonable. I got corn which was also quite good, and was a standard price so I didn't feel like I needed to buy a bunch just to get a bulk discount. I did also try the green valley farms labeled black cherry soda - that was probably the only 3/4 star experience for me, but would be perfect for someone who likes the flavor of black cherry soda without the carbonation of a brand like Stewart's.
