I'm excited to bring my son here for his first pumpkin picking experience in a few months! Year round, they have the best apple cider donuts.

When one thinks of the words 'rural' and 'farmland,' these are not terms one hears a lot in Bergen…read moreCounty, NJ, one of the most heavily populated counties to surround New York City. Yet the county has a rich history in farming and agriculture from the late 1600s up into the 1970s. The small farms in north Jersey do more than just provide fruits and vegetables for our tables. They are open-air classrooms to our agricultural past, places to buy fresh produce and baked goods to support local family farm stores, and places for interesting special events and outings for families. Being the first Saturday after Labor Day, my partner and I got a head start on the apple cider donuts made fresh daily, just oozing with apple cidery goodness and never hot. Since 1973, located on Airmont Avenue in Mahwah, Secor Farms is a reminder of Bergen County's rural past and one of the last farms left in the area, passed down through three generations. Upon arrival in the afternoon, parking was not an issue with only a handful of vehicles. However, the farm comes alive starting Sept 15 with a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and a petting zoo where reservations are required, with all sorts of activities. Their outside garden centers had pumpkins, gourds, fall decorations, and mums for purchase. We went inside their marketplace full of produce and managed to get a bag of mixed apple cider donuts and a quart of apple cider. These baked donuts have the sweet tartness of apple cider with a coating of cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar. They were soft, moist, tender, and tastefully delicious. The price was reasonable. The staff was friendly. We can recommend this place.

If you're looking for something to do on a Sunday, it is a pleasant walk around the tents but there are limited produce, bread and food tents (vegan, kebabs, dumplings).

There's parking on the opposite side of the train tracks and someone always at the crosswalks to help people cross.

There's stacks of them, either of the glazed or cinnamon sugar variety, and they are still warm from the oven usually. A fresh cider doughnut is a beautiful thing, and I personally purchase lots of them to buy the affection of my wife and children. They've also got all kinds of other confections as well, including apple fritters if you want to round out your fried apple pastry selection. I picked up one of those, but have yet to sample the pies, breads, sauces, cinnamon rolls, ice cream, cookies, honey, and more...but there's always next week. Outside, they've got all the pumpkins, gourds, flowers, and fresh produce you'd want. The owners are CLEARLY dog people, and I can get behind their plea for all of us to be the people that our dogs think we are.

Highly recommend!

Parking is limited, but once you arrive, the property is absolutely adorable with its farm setting and beautiful flowers. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. The restaurant prides itself on using fresh, locally grown ingredients, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, almost every dish we ordered was incredibly salty. I love well seasoned food, but this was just too much. They definitely need to ease up on the salt because it overpowered the fresh ingredients. I would recommend to the chef - calm down on the salt please!!! The standout dish for our group was the hot honey pizza--it was absolutely delicious and the one item I'd happily order again. One small downside that caught me off guard was the bathroom. It was so dark that it was difficult to see anything. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with great service and a charming atmosphere!

But, you'll likely walk around and find specimens that wow you enough to pay a bit more for them. I bought a mandevilla, some annuals, veggies and herbs on my last visit. And, I've probably bought stuff here twice per year, every year, for the last 20 years. Sign up for their mailing list and you'll get coupons in Spring and Fall. If you want something for your yard, they likely have it. If you don't see it or aren't sure, just ask. They sell shrubs, trees, veggies, herbs, annuals, perennials, mulch, topsoil, pots and planters and they even have chicken and duck eggs in refrigerators in the main building. Parking is a little funny here. I suggest going on weekdays or off hours. Otherwise, there's some right on the main road and the overflow is off the side street. Happy gardening - it's good for you!

In the Spring, their garden center simply can't be beat. I purchase flats of vegetables for my garden here, and the plants always do incredibly well. Healthy, good producers, and for a great price. There also offer many varieties I can't find elsewhere. The market truly shines here. Fresh baked goods are incredible. Donuts, pies, cakes, etc. are all excellent. Fresh milk, vegetables, and eggs are also amazing. However, we LOVE their meats. You can't go wrong with any of them. The petting zoo is great for children and families. It is certainly elaborate and fun. Staff are kind and helpful, always willing to strike up conversation. Prices are reflective of the quality here. We love it. Try it out!

Either way, everyone's a winner. The petting zoo is much larger than others in the area, giving the pets and the customers a lot of space to roam around. You can buy your tickets online, or with the QR code on site, or with cash at the booth located at the zoo entrance at the top of the hill past the upper parking lot. The farmers market provides amazingly fresh produce, fruits, veggies, baked goods, and a pre-made food selection. You can order a fresh sandwich, sides and soup. A delicious bonus. Somethings look out for include sparce parking at the top of the hill where the farmers market is, but plenty further down and towards the greenhouse. Also seating to eat is located in the back past checkout in the playground area that is also lacking a number of tables, but make meeting new people an experience when sharing seating. A fun adventure rolled into one location.
