We had a memorial service today for my cousin who left us to soon. She would have loved it though, always going to the farm to pick her own vegetables. It was in a renovated barn with a small shop in front with candles, jams, different types of meats, etc. read more

Apples, cider, donuts, cute farm animals, hay rides, sunflowers, and it's dog-friendly -- honestly, what's not to love? Tip: Buy your entry tickets online -- it's cheaper than getting them at the gate! This place runs on a "park-and-pick" setup, meaning you'll drive to different spots around the farm for each activity. Apple picking is by bag size, not by the pound -- the smallest bag was $7.50 and fit about 10-12 apples. It was hot the day we went, so we stuck to apple picking and cooled off at the marketplace afterward (skipped the maze and sunflowers). The cider and donuts were just okay compared to other farms I've been to, but the apple cider slush? Totally addictive (even if it's $9 -- ouch). Once the sun eased up later in the afternoon, we stopped by to see the goats and chickens and hopped on the hay ride -- the perfect cozy ending to the day. read more

First time coming here in NJ for strawberry picking on last weekend in May. We opted for the combo ticket with access to farm and playground. My one-year-old got charged for an adult ticket without asking me how old he was at the entry. Longer than usual hayride without staff to explain to you what is going on. We ended up circling that strawberry fields; we were excited to pick strawberries but there wasn't much to pick. They were so small and majority was sour. Maybe we got our hopes up. The English peas picking part was more than the strawberries, but when we got home to cook them, they were so high in fiber that you can barely chew it to shallow them. We ended up throwing it all away. Maybe we went on a bad weekend; try another place next time. read more

How scenic! And a farm FULL of activities! Upon arrival there's benches with umbrellas by the store. Clear markings for the bathroom on the right. The farm can also double as a rental for a wedding reception. Further driving in on the left are the strawberry and radish fields. We picked them in May. Ripe red strawberries were EVERYWHERE. On the right side of the farm has peaches and apples. The owner shared about his piglets and how he trained them. If you clap your hands on the hayride, the herd might appear and follow you. Kid friendly, dog friendly, playground, sand box, and a goat zoo with picturesque views of the fields. Theres so much to do and see! Can't wait to come again. read more

What a fantastic family day out! From the moment we arrived, everything was easy and welcoming. Parking was simple, the property is absolutely beautiful, and you can tell how much care goes into maintaining it. Everything was clean, organized, and family-friendly (including the bathrooms, which as parents we definitely appreciate!). The owners and staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. Our kids had an absolute blast picking fresh strawberries, meeting the animals, and riding on the tractor, which ended up being one of the highlights of the day! The market was another pleasant surprise, full of fun snacks, treats, and unique items to browse. This place offers so much more than just fruit picking. It really feels like a full family experience. We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a fun, well-run day outdoors! read more

Johnson's Locust Hall Farm - Pick your own strawberries! - Attraction Farms Near Me - Jobstown, New Jersey

The minus on points are on prices. Visited on a Friday at the end of the season and entry was $7.50/person; only 2 people it's ok but I can imagine how crazy expensive it could get at peak time if you're a big family with kids. This is all before spending on picking, market, wine and possibly grill. The grill wasn't available but the things we did get at the market were good. The ice cream, donuts and meat were good. But chocolate covered the pretzels were not. Got 5 bag of chocolate covered pretzels were $5+, almost $6 a bag for 3 inside. Which I would be ok paying if it was good but it was not. And the unfortunate part is that they were being gifted and I only found out that they ware stale from the recipients. I have no complaints on the staff encountered, they were all fairly nice. Would probably visit again simply because they are dog friendly. I just know what to buy/not buy next time around. read more

We came to Johnson's for a Holiday event and we also went there once before for a 5 course dinner. Both events were catered by Tuscanos and the food was tasty and creative! The staff at Johnson's is very friendly and the Holiday event had a Santa who was looked amazing and was taking pictures with everyone!! They always do an amazing job decorating. Its worth checking online the details of the events because each one is unique. They have more expensive events that would be perfect for a date night or valentines day and they have cheaper options for the family to go to as well. read more

Great time, strawberries were fresh and ripe. will happily come back for another date next strawberry season. Apple cider donuts were also mind blowing. Definitely a must. read more

It's a nice farm, and we enjoyed visiting here. They have a nice setup. We started by going apple picking, walking through sunflowers, pumpkin fields, flower fields, and a nice hayride--all for one flat entrance fee. The restaurant/farm store was nice. They had many crafts and foods. They had singers singing nice country music. It was in late September before the rush of the October crowd, so it was manageable. We enjoyed taking our time going through each part of the farm. I would return, maybe even next September. I strongly recommend bringing a family and spending a day here if you want something to do in the fall. read more

This was my first time at this farm. Visited with my child and his school for a field trip (chaperone duty so no time for pictures, but very scenic). A little under an hour outside of Philly, but worth it in my opinion. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Not nearly as crowded as some of the other farms. Especially for a Friday in October. Wagon ride to the orchard. Plenty of apples (we didn't need to search for rows and rows). Wagon ride to the pumpkin patch. We picked the pumpkins straight off the vine (a first for me). Goats, chickens , and plenty of play for the kiddos. Although the restaurant wasn't open (they were preparing for a wedding so I understood), the sugar cookies were soft and delicious. Plenty of tables for eating. A definite revisit with the rest of my family. read more

This was our first time at Johnson Locust Hall farm and it was hands down our favorite place we have gone to over the years. The only thing I wished they had more of was games for kids to play and stay occupied like some other farms offer. However they do offer a lot and everything is very well organized and not overcrowded. Everything seemed very clean and well maintained. They are also pet friendly and allow leashes dogs! We started off with the apple picking and then pumpkin and sunflowers. They do have a maze at the pumpkin patch. After we paid for everything we headed over to the market. The market was the best spot! There were food trucks, a winery with tastings, fresh pies and baked goods and decor. The apple cider donuts were not "hot" as advertised.. they said they make them in the AM all at the same time so if you don't go in the morning they won't be hot. Prices were very reasonable compared to other similar places we have been too. They offer outside seating picnic table style and have umbrellas outside as well. They also offer a hayride and petting zoo with a few animals. Overall I would give it a 4 out of 5 for a couple reasons. 1) being not a lot of games or attractions for kids, 2.) I asked for a small cup of milk for my infant and they charged me for a cup of coffee $5.. even a gallon of milk doesn't cost $5, 3) When they have events they don't allow usage of the restroom which especially if I'm paying for tickets which we did I should be able to use a real restroom especially with children. read more

Tonight I had tickets for live music, wine, food and to walk the trails and pick a crop. This week was sunflowers so one would think the fee covered the sunflower you pick or at least that was the way I read it. No, the $15 fee was for you to just hang out. It didn't cover anything else at all, not even a ride to the sunflowers. Food, wine, sunflowers/crops were all extra. Not to mention no one told us anything at all. No one said where the sunflowers were, where the farm animals were or anything unless you asked. Even the food wasn't from the farm, it was catered. The cheese and charcuterie we had came with 5 crackers. The board intended for 2 was really just 1. I expected more for $15 than just to sit at a farm. I could easily go to a winery and have a better experience. Save yourself the $$ and just go when it's free. I write this review so other consumers can be better aware of what to expect. read more

I stopped by over the weekend and had one of the best times with my family. This farm has apple picking, pumpkin picking, corn fields and sunflower fields. There's a shop on the farm, food stands, animal farm and a winery. We really loved the apple picking. The trees are unlike any I've seen before. They are not tall and filed from top to bottom with delicious apples. We got a half bag that as under $9. They even told us to fill it all the way to the top and not be shy. They were all so sweet. We took some wonderful pictures in the sunflower field. You can purchase the flowers, but we passed on that. We were more interested in the seeds. These flowers have not yet developed to be eaten. The store was great. Had wonderful fall decor. I grabbed a vase for my house. They also had local honey, apple cider donuts (They were HEAVENLY), beautiful scented soaps and more! The food stand had great food too. The pulled pork nachos were my favorite. The hotdog was delicious as well. We made reservations for the wine tasting ahead of time. Glad we did. It was sold out for the day. We had a choice of five wines for under $8. Total steal. The wine was okay. The Halloween brew was my favorite. Grabbed two bottles. Can be served cold or hot which really caught my interest. Had a great spicy kick to it. Nothing overpowering. Sadly, my favorite, Cabernet was not tasteful. The hard apple ciders were good. Overall I'd do a tasting again for the cost. They had a live band playing which I really enjoyed. There is also a hall for wedding. We got to see a wedding going on and it looked absolutely breathtaking. My family really enjoyed this trip. Definitely will come back next fall! read more

first of all $18 a person to get in over 2yr. no kid pricing like most other farms. So family of four spends $72 just to get in. Then we picked a 1/4 peck apples which was about 8 apples for 7.50. So not great not horrible. BUT although online it says picking 4 kinds, they only let us pick either empire or fuji. You have to drive to The different fields which sucked if you have kids. In the car seat, out the car seat repeat. Then we sat down at the wine area and of course the Kids wanted to go play and see the animals, thats also another ticket. You can't feed/pet them. They have a sandbox and 2 slides. Main plus was they have lots of photo ops and good wine. We got blueberry crumb $12 was great. All in all to spend $100 for some Apples was alot to me. read more

Was a huge fan of this farm for fall activities. You must purchase/reserve tickets on their website which is about $11 per person and you are able to take whichever time slot fits your convenience. With that being said when you are actually at the farm it is super organized! You check in first with your ticket and they give you two slips. One that gives you all the pricing and explains all the fields. The second slip is to record everything you are purchasing for checkout later. You park then pick, first is the apples, then pumpkins, sunflowers and corn maze, and last is the market/checkout. Due to limited tickets and all the fields being spread out there are not many people which allows social distancing. Masks are only required at the tents and marketplace/parking lot so many people were out in the fields not wearing a mask. Personally my boyfriend and I had ours on the whole time to be considerate of others. But especially in the apple fields a majority were maskless. It was a fun afternoon and will be returning next year read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. In light of Covid instead of hayrides the farm is doing 4 stops but you drive to each in your own car. There's apple picking, pumpkin, sunflowers, corn maze and then you end up at the farm which had live music in the evening. All four stops were only $10 and then pay for whatever you pick. Def make reservations online for this and then the time by the barn with music is free. The hot cider was amazinggg as were the donuts that I brought home. Perfect socially distanced fall day. read more

Great local farm doing "Night at the Farm." Live music, catered food, ice cream, bottles of wine for sale. We decided to come out for our 4th Anniversary and it was perfect. We picked some corn and peaches, got a bottle of wine, had some ice cream. Lots of people on dates and people with kids just enjoying the night and farm. We will definitely be back. Had a great time. read more

Went to their bourbon food pairing on Friday night and it could not have been any better. From the moment we stepped out of our drivers car to the moment we got back in, our group were totally blown away with everything. From the ambiance, to the service and food quality(and of course the bourbon), we could not have been more wowed. We all would recommend this venue for any special event you would do if looking for 5 Star results. Job well done by the entire Johnson staff! Thank you for a wonderful night out and we all will certainly be back again soon. read more

This is a very nice family friendly activity and bonus they welcome dogs on leashes. We did the apple picking, sun flowers picking, lunch on the benches with live music and some delicious donuts for dessert. read more

The BEST farm in South Jersey!!! I have been going to the original Johnson's Farm since I was a toddler and was always such a huge fan of the family environment that they create, but in recent years the old Johnson's Farm lost some of its charm to become more commercialized. I'm so happy to report that Locust Hall is FULL of charm and brings you back to how farms like this used to be! At Locust Hall, you really get what you see. The prices are more than fair on everything from baked goods to whatever you pick in the fields, and when you go out to the fields you really are in the thick of where those products grow! Some other places pick the pumpkins for you and arrange them in a field so you can pretend you picked it yourself, but I was pleasantly surprised to have to actually cut my pumpkin off of its vine! It was incredible. There's also wine tastings from Tomasello Winery at a super reasonable price ($5 for 5 tastings and we got to keep the glass!) or you can buy a bottle and enjoy it right there in the shade. There's live music, snacks, board games and so many activities for kids and adults alike. My favorite part is that the farm is so dog friendly! I'm always trying to find somewhere that I can bring my German Shepherd mix, and this was the perfect place! Dogs are allowed everywhere except for inside the store and on certain hayride wagons, but as long as your dog is on a leash they get to experience everything at Locust Hall with you! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and seemed to share our love for the rustic charm of the property. I went two weekends in a row because I loved it so much! And being able to bring home freshly picked pumpkins, apples, and sunflowers was such a huge highlight. I will recommend this place to everyone I know. It was such a pleasure visiting and I will be back soon! Oh, and if you're looking for a stunning wedding venue, look here! I toured the grounds out of curiosity and was blown away by the charm, beauty, and detail of the wedding venue areas. I just beg everyone who visits to be respectful, make sure your dog is well behaved, and help keep this place quaint and charming for years to come! read more

We found this place on accident!!! What a great accident. I loved this farm and the rustic look. This place is amazing, fun and family oriented. They had a visiting winery in which my wife got to try. I enjoyed all their goodies, delicious coffee and those wonderful apple cider donuts.

We somehow ended up here when we were visiting new jersey from nyc. We really enjoy the farm. The hayride was fun. We picked some apples and some sunflowers. We took some Instagram shoots.

In total we spend about 2+ hours here. read more

A great local farm for all seasons. Flowers (zinnias and sunflowers), fruits and veggies for picking in the summer, and pumpkins and more sunflowers in the fall. They take you on a hayride to the picking fields. Some weekends they allow dogs to come. Always lots of crops fresh and ready for picking. Prices are reasonable too. Back at the farm building they have a small petting zoo area, grilled lunch on some weekends and live music. Nice outdoor seating available. In the market they have James, meat, dairy and desserts. There's also a local winery pop up inside that does tastings and sells wine by the bottle. Definitely a cute spot and I like that it doesn't get as crowded as some of the other local farms (for now...!) read more

What an amazing holiday! We spent the Fourth of July picking peaches in the field! The staff in the field told us the best way to pick peaches with a smile behind the mask! We were so impressed by the spread out timing so no one was on top of each other with these circumstances! It was such an amazing experience driving up to the picking area and getting this amazing experience. After our picking time, we went to the tomasello wine tasting. Another exceptional experience! We tasted 5 wines while sitting on the patio. The staff was also masked and extremely attentive. They made sure that everything's was sanitary. You had to be served outside and they will bring your picks to you. It was so enjoyable and a perfect way to spend our holiday! It was truly the hidden gem to our day! read more

I would go back! $10 admissions fee, total spent was nearly $75. The staff were friendly except for the girl in the bakery/market. She was extremely rude.

We visited this farm for the first time a few weekends ago, and we absolutely loved your farm. Your staff is pleasant and your whole farm has a wonderful vibe. We will be returning. **Although**, I wanted to bring up one thing that was disappointing. We bought a lot of your delicious smelling apple cider donuts and many bags of cookies. After feasting on some treats, I started reading the back of the donut bag and was very surprised by the ingredient list. The apple cider we were smelling in the car on the way home wasn't apple cider at all, it was artificial flavoring. It was a let down after we were all going crazy about having found "real" apple cider donuts. After all, I read somewhere that you are famous for your "Apple Cider Donuts"--but they're not Apple Cider at all! Even all the cookies we bought were artificial as well, and contain mono- and diglycerides, among other unnatural ingredients that one would never expect to be in foods made at a historic farm. We were willing to pay extra for these baked items because we assumed they would be high quality and made with natural ingredients, but the ingredients are no better than Krispy Kreme. I hope you consider making your baked goods more healthful especially since most of your visitors are children. We will be back, but won't be buying your treats. read more

I don't think I've ever left a 5 star review but this place gets 5. Someone here complained about the $4.50 tractor ride - that didn't bother us at all and on Mondays it's free for moms and children. As someone who is always looking for dog events to attend with her dog, I found their event on Facebook called peaches and puppies. I love fruit picking and hayrides but since I work so much, the weekends are for bonding with with my dog. Other fruit picking places (that I know of) don't allow dogs so rarely will I do something without her on a weekend and thus miss out on fruit picking. I learned that the event is something they offer two weeks out of the year. I wish they would offer it more as July is hot for dogs to be outside long. Had it not been so hot, we would have stayed for the live music which sounded great, got something to eat and enjoyed the wine. Instead, we took the tractor ride and picked some beautiful and tasty blackberries and peaches. I have to especially compliment the team on how well organized everything was. They were super on point with everything: multiple water stations for dogs and humans, poo poo bags for dogs, clean indoor bathrooms but also porto potties out in the field, a clean well stocked store, and plenty of staff to assist. We picked up two pies, peaches, berries, cookies, honey, and donuts. I also toured the event space and it's stunning - perfect for a rustic wedding, or unique baby shower, bridal shower or birthday and I need an excuse to rent their space. We would love to bring my grandmother there as she can't walk far and the tractor ride that takes you to the field would be helpful. Once we got to the felid, there was a water station, awnings with picnic tables, and bags for picking. The drive to and from the field is also very peaceful with great views. We drove an hour to get there form where we live and I would totally go back multiple times a year if they allowed pets more. Pets or not, you should totally check it out. Thanks for the friendly, organized staff for a great experience and family day out! read more
