Came out for their light up Halloween event. It was certainly crowded but the line moved quickly to get in. Their walk path for the event they said is about a half mile long and it was quite unique. We had a good time. Ofcourse we had to get the fresh made apple cider donuts! They were delicious, and not bad at $9 for a 6 pack. read more

What a fun Fall Festival! There are so many fun things to do. The food was good and the coffee was tasty. If I lived in NJ, I would have bought pumpkins, but unfortunately I am just visiting the area. My sister said she would go back with her family. read more

Argos Farm is a working farm that makes for a great family outing all season long, with plenty to explore during the growing months. The farm opens into a wide, open layout filled with photo-friendly backdrops--sunflower fields, classic farm equipment, swinging benches, and even old vehicles that capture a rustic charm. Kids especially will find no shortage of things to do, from the playground and tug-of-war to the trampoline area, potato sack slide, corn-house corn playbox, and a small petting zoo with a pony ride. Throughout the season, Argos hosts special events that add to the experience. The Sunflower Festival is a standout, offering beautiful fields in bloom, a corn maze, and plenty of picture-perfect spots. A beer garden and the Zenden with live acoustic music give adults a relaxing space, while children can loop back through the many activities without running out of energy. Food and treats are simple but enjoyable, with kettle corn, personal pan pizzas, pulled pork, and barbecue available, along with a general store for farm goods. Between its regular seasonal offerings and its special festivals, Argos Farm delivers a wholesome, family-friendly experience that's easy to return to again and again. read more

Thought the selection of sunflowers was pretty good considering it was the last day of the sunflower festival. However, there is room for improvement. *We arrived right at 3pm-at the start of the session- and there were no buckets available. *Not much signage-it's not clear where to go to pick the zinnias or get water for the flowers so they won't wilt while walking around. Don't understand buying the tickets for the sunflowers ahead of time. I would prefer it to be like Apple picking or similar-you pay for what you pick upon leaving. *Spigot by zinnias not turned on so had to go inside market to get water from inside the market to put in the mason jar that you must buy to put the zinnias in. *tip-bring your own bucket with water for the sunflowers Overall, a fun experience, but can't help Feeling like we were price gouged. read more

Decided to do the Sunflower Festival again this year. We went on the 3rd day of opening and there were literally no sunflowers. Most were cut by customers or the sunflowers were stepped on. What happened Argos??? read more

Last night we came here to check out their Jacks and Lights event! They have a great farm here with lots to do. Delicious apple cider, donuts, coffee, hayrides, pumpkins picking, and more. The store was spacious and had some cute homemade honey, pickles, and jams. Lots of parking and I thought they were very organized running this event. There was a little pizza stand open too but most of the activities were closed at night understandably. The jack and lights were cool to see all the different jack o lanterns and how creative they were. Tickets were purchased online and a little too pricy for what you get but it was a nice fall night to walk outside and get in the mood for Halloween! Great if you have kids! read more

Only went for JACKS & LIGHTS after 6pm- There were a few cute photo opportunities before it got too dark to take pictures. Corn maze wasn't nothing but still just a corn maze.. 1 really long line to get coffee/tea. But the pumpkin lights walk was so underwhelming :/ I've been to others that I wasn't walking in complete darkness to get to the next set of pumpkins. And the fact that most were not real pumpkins was also kind of disappointing in comparison to those I've seen. Really not worth the price we paid to be there, sorry I won't be back. :/ read more

Went with friends and my sister in law and niece . We had a wonderful time . Taking pictures, eating great food . Buying a few things then resting then going to pick ate sunflowers which we all did for the first time . They lasted long . Will be back next year . read more

Went to the farm for their Sunflower Festival on a Sunday afternoon. Great open layout of everything and not too busy! Got checked in very quickly! Bought tickets online which you receive a discounted price if you do, and check in is a breeze. Lots of fun activities for the kids like a zip line, giant slide, horse rides, tractor ride, basketball football tire toss. Some delicious treats like their apple cider donuts, blueberry lemonade and even a nice on site coffee shop. Plenty of picture opportunities set up all over the farm. If you want a fun but also relaxing day out with the kids, try them out! read more

Not. Zero stars. 17.00 each may work for a small child's entertainment but not for anyone else. Boring and sparse would be good adjectives. Completed walk around in 15 minutes. Pumpkins from Walmart at a premium price. 5.00 or a lemons aid and 8.00 for pop corn. read more

I haven't been to this farm in years so I decided to take my fiancé and his son there. They have definitely upgraded since I last took my own son and niece. I love how they expanded and have the activities spaced out. The little one had a blast and was not ready to leave when it was time to go. I was upset because the line was so long for the Hot apple cider and doughnuts so I was unable to indulge in those treats. read more

Paid for my family and I to go to the Festival 4th of July. No one was there! The music turned out to be a guy playing a guitar! We had something to eat, played a couple games and left. What a waste of money!!! Will not go back. read more

Over priced for adults 29.95 with nothing at all for an adult to do. This place is a scam. The food was horrible. What a let down. We could not even get a beer because they had no one working the beer tent. We left and went to the LaRita winery and had a fantastic day. read more

One of the best places fo bring kids and have a great day. They have all sorts of things to do here and everything is immaculate. They also have a market that sells all sorts of treats. The crumb cake and apple cider donuts are a must try. They also have different playgrounds for the kids which the kids seem to love. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in what they do. Overall, you can't go wrong visiting Argos farms for a fun day out with the family. Check it out! read more

So I love the fall and going to Argos Farm for the beast Apple Cider Donuts around we'll just went over to the farm for some donuts etc and you now have to pay an admission fee to get into the place I have no young ones nor do I want to play in the mazes at my age so because I don't want to pay the admission fee of $30.00 I can't visit the store to buy donuts or pies that's what the young girl at the ticket window told me Bad marketing strategy if you ask me very disappointed read more

This needs a revamp before next season or the price needs to be cut in half! I was just there and I can see big families are coming but I can't imagine they would return in future years. A family or 4 cost 100 bucks and then they had things like a 10$ pony ride inside. The corn maze was NOTHING like the picture shows. Food options were donuts popcorn or a 8$ slice of pizza. Just disappointed read more

Loved this place 5 years ago, much worse experience this time. Nice pumpkin selection, but $30 admission to even enter the farmer's market to look around is insane. Used to love the bakery. read more

to come up with a better plan for the tickets, the line was outrageously long. They should allow everyone in and sell tickets separately for each event instead of having a two hour line to get in. and if you just want to shop at the market, you can just go up there, the way it's situated. I'm not sure I will be back next year. It was tragic. read more

It was a nice beautiful Sunday. Just wish the sunflowers didn't look as dead as it did. Overall the experience was nice, place was beautiful & it was a very relaxing day. read more

I've been going for years and I loved it, it's a little pricey, however the experience is worth it. There's TONS to do! After paying for a ticket, there's go karts (for young kids), a corn box, a corn maze, a HUGE slide, a jumping pad, hay ride, games, zip lining (for kids), animals, a playground and LOTS of photo opps for no extra fees! There are a few things that cost money such as shopping and a few extra things such as pumpkin picking, however there is still a lot to do! And their apple cider donuts are amazing! You need to try them! (I recently went here in an Argos cosplay lol) anyway I love this place, it's my go to place for pumpkins! read more

Biked past this intriguing farm yesterday -- while in Lacey Twp for an obligatory monthly grooming extravaganza with my dogs. Sits across the road from a really nice Ocean County forest preserve -- loaded with wild mushrooms -- an easy draw for an old fungi forager like me. ;) From the road -- Argos Farm looks well kept -- and the Marine Corps flag flying high above it made my drop in almost obligatory. I really like obscure farms off the beaten path that sell pastured pork, fowl, free range eggs and all sorts of organic produce appropriate to the harvest season -- so I went to check it out after my loop. Douglas and Emily are second generation owners of this rather large and well maintained farm -- albeit a bit thin on the kind of produce and pastured goodies I expected in their market. Housed in a massive warehouse-style building that was once an equestrian center -- the farm seems to be in transition -- seeking reinvention as something more upscale and trendy while remaining family friendly. Nice heirloom tomatoes for sale -- but Jersey is flush with that sort of thing down here this time of year. Most of the other produce was reserved for subscribing local customers that pay a fee for a weekly bushel of whatever the farmers choose and bag for them. Aside from some beans and zucchini -- the pickings were slim and the produce itself was steeply priced and not as robust as I would have liked. For example -- three tiny sprigs of leek were $3 and the bok choy (one of my favorite veggies) looked more like an anemic stalk of celery -- also $3. If I cooked all that they had for sale -- not sure I'd get one meal out of it. A few potatoes, some greens, and broccoli rabe that looked more like leaves than anything else rounded out what was available for the "non-subscribers". The obligatory fudge, pie and ice cream counters were dwarfed by the overall size of this place -- and I understand from the owners that they have a CIA trained chef on staff to handle a little cafe in the back with specialty catering experience -- for which this large building probably comes in handy. Emily said they have plans for a restaurant down the road -- part of the Argos family tradition started by her dad who owned this farm and a couple of area restaurants -- back in the day. Turns out Argos doesn't butcher any of their meat or poultry on site due to the high cost involved in complying with USDA regulations -- so the pork goes to Pennsylvania for slaughter and comes back vacuum packed and frozen. The chickens go to Goffle Farms in Wyckoff for the same treatment. Disappointing -- since "farm to table" by way of a distant slaughter house loses it's authenticity for me -- even though I completely understand the economics of this choice. Ironically enough -- Goffle Farms is just down the road from where I live -- so fresh kill poultry is always available in our house. Argos Farm is about to open its pumpkin patch for picking and hayrides this weekend -- and I suspect this is one of their high seasons -- along with their blueberry patches in June/July and traditional winter activities like Christmas trees, wreaths, etc. in December. I wanted to like Argos Farms more -- and were it not for the warmth and hospitality of the young owners and the pretty vistas -- it would have been a 2 star experience for me -- because of the limited quantity and quality of food for sale. Still -- I took home a nice sized chicken to roast and a bag full of their heirloom tomatoes -- both of which were delicious -- and that made the stop worthwhile. BTW -- they do accept credit cards. I'm not sure this farm warrants a special trip if you are out of town -- but for those in the area when Argos is in season with their marquee crops -- or when your kids need a hay ride or a "one on one" with their friendly livestock -- check it out. Yasou! read more

WhAt a huge disappointment and waste of money this place is . Cost me $60 just to get in for 4 people. Corn maze was alright ...that's About it . You had to buy food to feed the animals , you had to buy apples to do the shooting game etc...never going back nor would I recommend this place !!! read more

This rating is for the baked goods. We picked up a fruit pie and I tried the crumb cake. I was angling for the apple pie but wife won. This is perhaps the best pie crust in history. I mean ever. Back to my grandmother from Switzerland. To any bakery you have had. The pie was fantastic. Definitely cannot stop thinking about how good the apple is, and I'd be kidding myself to think I won't be back to find out. Recently had a bad experience in Bradley Beach at Del Ponte's. They have high ratings, was driving by and stopped in. Cheese danish sucked. Crumb cake sucked. Not sure what this has to do with Argos except the two crumb cake tries were within two weeks of each other so fresh in mind. Argos blew Del Ponte's away. I mean BLEW IT AWAY. Now, a farm shouldn't be making better baked goods than a bakery that charges $66 bucks for a Cassatta Cake but here it is. Whoever is baking at Argos Farm knows the shit cold. I mean stone cold pro. read more

We heard that Argos Farm no longer permits walk in traffic for their market and gift shop. We read some reviews here and on Google that confirmed it. This is the first time I've ever heard of a gift shop with a cover charge. We don't have children and have no interest in the fun and games, but we still always enjoyed popping into the gift shop to grab donuts and other goodies. Business 101 teaches that it is always cheaper to keep your existing customers than try to get new ones. Unless this policy changes, Argos has lost a customer in us. I understand the strategy of catering to families (who will pay expensive fees for the experience) but it seems penny wise and pound foolish to put all their eggs in one basket and effectively outprice regular customers with money in hand and ready to spend. read more

We were very disappointed that they've decided to charge a $20/pp admission fee just to get to their store. We had our family of six there this weekend to do some shopping for a large upcoming dinner that we're hosting and they expected us to pay $120 just to walk to the store. Haha!! We would have easily spent $120+ in the store, but just to get to the store?! What a joke this place has become. I certainly will not recommend it to local family and friends. It's a shame because it used to be so much better. Now their business model is based solely on greed. Sad read more

The surrounding are wonderful. I have to say people that entered where rude refused to social distance, throwing their garbage everywhere no sense of Citizenship. I feel very sorry for the owner. NO MATTER WHO AND WHAT YOU THINK IT IS FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL. If you see lots vans keep on going until a Sat!!! read more

This place is great. I'm so happy that young mike turned it around and made it a successful business. I just wish they would still let him detail yachts in the parking lot with suction cup suit on read more

Ripoff. 22 bucks to get in and yet the apple or potato shooter was extra. Not worth it at all. Bought pumpkins and when we got home pumpkins rotted in inside and filled with water. Never again. read more

The ticket on the website was very misleading didn't mentioned about you can pick pumpkin without getting the tickets and also We were getting the pies the lady on the register was not nice and felt like I was being rushed I drop one of my whole pie the box was not sealed so the pie fell on the floor the lady didn't even ask us if verything is okay and we have to pay for another pie. read more

Wasn't impressed . 70 cents A pound for a pumpkin was way over priced 3.95$ for small and 2.95 for a mini white one . Three rotten corns were $6.00 a piece the place is a rip off . Most of pumpkins are rotten . You have to pay $15 a head for just walking through . Oh and you can drive all the way around to store if you want . Port a John's are only for paid entrance customers . Just to pick pumpkins is free with slim pickings . Way other nicer places to go ! Don't waste hood time ... read more

Fun place for the family! Just wished I got to try there coffee and donuts lines were too long and they aren't open on weekdays!!

WHAT A RIP OFF!!! This place nickels and dimes you for every single thing. $2.50 plus tax for a tiny tiny pumpkin. I paid $12 for my 2 year old to go in and he wasn't even tall enough for a lot of the stuff to do. Most places like this don't charge for kids under 3 or 4. Or a cheaper rate for small children. Totally unfair. The woman who owns it is rude. The "Cafe" in the back is run so poorly. Overall I'd rather go to a better place where you can actually pick pumpkins, not just select them from a cardboard container. How sad and pathetic. NEVER going back. read more

The farm was great! One price to get in and everything was included! They had enough things for the kids to do! We bought a pie and Apple cider donuts. They were both delicious! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because you had to go on two separate lines to buy the pies. You couldn't get it all in one spot and the lines were crazy long to buy them. There should be two lines for everything. The ice cream and donuts were together while the pies were elsewhere. Over all, really good and would recommend a visit there with the kids! read more

The most expensive "farm" I've ever been too. 30$ a person? WTH is that. Over crowded. Rude. 0/10 do not recommend.

extremely disappointed in their supposed blueberry festival. It was nothing at all as advertised. We paid entry to just walk in a green field. The refreshments and food was a lemonade stand with popcorn and snacks. The solo performer although, it was excellent. The rides were not rides and geared toward three-year-olds. Inside the farmers market, There was nothing with blueberries in it. No blueberry muffins, blueberry pies, blueberry cobbler, etc. An absolute waste of time. My 10-year-old nephew told me the car ride was more fun. We left after less than an hour and went bowling instead. Would never go back there again. An absolute waste of time and money. read more

went here yesterday with my boyfriend and baby cousin and it was a super fun nice time out. the staff was always wearing a mask. my cousin had a lot of fun going down the slide and the zip line for kids. with the price of admission it included almost everything except feeding the animals, horse riding, and apple launching. it was a very fun for a day out for her. the only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because my cousin got pushed by a kid down the hay and there was no staff around and the parent shrugged it off and she got scratched up a lot. and even though the staff was wearing masks it was not in forced for the customers to be wearing a mask. so just be aware of that when you come. read more

This is a review of its presence of a farm stand. It's more of a fall entertainment destination for the kids. Great a couple of times big it's pricey. Would love it if the farm stand was more of and actual farm stand. read more

We had the BEST experience yesterday! We were there for HOURS and we all had a blast! Almost everything was included in the very reasonable price. We all also had a delicious lunch there :) we will DEF be back this season and next!! read more

Argos Farm - Farmers Market Near Me - Forked River, New Jersey

This is the worst "farm" ever. Let's start with when I got there the lady at the front told me my child was FREE....so that's how he clearly got in without a wrist band. Fast forward I see a little boy his age go on a ride and ask my son who barely talks if he wanted to go on, he got all excited. Then the worker said he has to be 36" tall but another lady comes and her daughter is under 36" ohhhh but she can go on cause she had a wrist band mean while she's the same age as my son(I know because I asked the mom) so why wasn't I told at the gate when I walked in that I had to pay for him to do these things because I would've left.... instead of getting to the ride just to be told I was supposed to be charged. (Well in my experience with customer service if you or your workers make a mistake then that's on you "you take the loss") So the worker told me to talk to the owner....let me tell you this lady is a straight up bitch. She gets nasty with me over this ride and tells me that I have to go pay $16 for a ride (one ride) or tell my toddler who is now screaming upset cause he doesn't understand why he can't go on that he's not aloud to go. But when I ask for a refund then she waves her hand at the worker saying "let him go on if that's what's gonna make him happy" in a nasty tone of voice. Like HOW DARE SHE....he's a toddler, she had to make a big deal over a ride when HER worker made a mistake. I feel bad for any child she has because she's a heartless asshole. I can see why she didn't want to give me a refund she clearly needs the money with how empty her "farm" is and all these negative reviews she's getting, clearly losing customers left and right. If you have children PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEM HERE. The owners are money hungry you can see that by the other comment as well. read more

Nice selection of pumpkins and reasonable prices. Lots of activities for kids. Great apple pie from the farmers market
