    Our Fam @ Von Thun Farms Washington
    Chris E.

    Huge farm, lots to do and would probably be beyond busy on the special occasion, festivity days during peak picking times. We ended up visiting this Von Thun location (the other being in South Brunswick) on a super soggy, wet June day just as strawberry picking season was coming to a close and even though the weather wasn't ideal, our family STILL really enjoyed our time here. There were probably only 20-30 other people here at most, but it felt even less considering how large the grounds are here. The lack of folks definitely had to do with the weather as it rained most of the day, but when we arrived the rain had just stopped, so it worked out PERFECTLY. Since it did rain, unfortunately, the farm was a mud slop of a trail and our shoes/sneakers were drenched after picking, but it was great in that there was BARELLLLY anyone here so we had our pick of the farm and didn't have much competition in picking strawberries. Even though the conditions weren't ideal, we picked a massssssive, overflowing bucket of super beautiful and fresh strawberries along with some raspberries too. A lot of strawberries were beat up, but once we got deeper into the strawberry area, we found tons of perfect strawberries. The farm does not allow for eating while picking, but we couldn't help but try a few of the strawberries because they were soooo fresh. AND, we observed plenty of other folks doing the same, so we definitely weren't the only ones. There was also a huge play area too on the farm that we can imagine that if it were busy would be pretty chaotic. Overall, this is a greaaat, greaat farm for picking and we hope to be back on a nice day where we can experience the full offerings of the farm.

    We were there on the opening day of 2025 Sunflower Festival and Peach Fest, August 2, Saturday. Gorgeous 1st Day, beautiful weather. Von Thun Farms is a well maintained place with wonderful, knowledgeable, trained and well behaved staffs. You can see for yourself how the festival signage with staffs to guide you on the farm. Lots of portable toilets around the farm and well taken care off. Stunning summer flowers adorn the farm with the Sunflowers as the star of place. Lots of lovely flowers you can pick at reasonable price as well as peach , blackberries and other fruits you can pick too. If you don't like to pick you can get it at their farm market. Second time to visit and definitely not the last. We will be back before summer ends. Von Thun Farms is one of the best farm i was able to visit . Thank you Von Thun Farms for a wonderful, memorable visit.

    A wonderful fall experience! Upon arrival it appears much smaller than meets the eye! However there is so much to do! A perfect location for kids, adult kids and families! There is something for everyone, we did their corn maze, apple picking , pumpkin patch picking, hay ride, we went through the berry picking but was told that we weren't allowed in there, they did have delicious raspberries however . There are so many activities such as pulling a tractor to test the skills and strength of the macho and strong minded. A bee nest, petting zoo, shooting range. Very insta worthy with a beautiful background of the mountains! Food is pretty decent as well from beer to burgers to waffles! Highly recommend visiting, it was about $35 per person and $25 for a lathe bag of pick your own apples. Also a beautiful sunflower field makes for cute shots!

    Even though the sun wasn't shining today, the sunflowers were so pretty. I had fun meandering through the fields to see all the wildflowers. There are so many great photo ops. There's also a hayride! We also pickedand grabbed lunch from the food trucks, then ended with apple cider donuts. The live music and vendors made it even more fun. Be sure to stop into the market for some yummy treats and beverages.

    We usually do these places on a weekend as a family and they're busy but we found ourselves having the place to our self basically on a Wednesday morning as a day date just us 2. It was really beautiful and lots to do. Family friendly. The staff were nice. The peach cider is a must try as are the honey lollipops. Definitely recommend!

    A whole lot of family fun. There's a nice little shopping shopping area. Followed by farm animals. Then there's a whole section of games & fun things to do. There's a hay ride that takes you to an area where you can strawberry pick. I really enjoyed myself here & so did my family. Highly recommend. Two thumbs all the way up!

    A few friends of mine had visited this farm during the summer and I loved how adorable it looked in pictures, so I got my own small group together to explore the place for myself during Fall Festival weekends. In order to visit the farm, it is strongly recommended to purchase tickets ahead of time to allow for social distancing. The price for general admission is $12.99. For an additional $6, the ticket includes a bag of apples (which was actually tiny, but I managed to fit 8 apples in there). As soon as we arrived, I was excited by the super cute red barn, which housed many fruit, veggie, apple cider donuts, jam, butter, honey, and more options inside. There were orange and white pumpkins, as well as nice flowers all around the entrance. There was also a large red tractor in front of the barn, which made for some good photo opportunities. The first thing we did was apple picking. There were 2 different types of apples, but I wanted to try the apples from the restricted area because they looked soo good! However, I stayed in the sections we were allowed to be in. I picked several large apples, as well as a few small ones. They were all perfectly round, and when I tried them later, tasted delightfully crisp, sweet, and fresh. We then headed to the Sunflower Field, which I was happy to see because I didn't think they were going to have that still up. The sunflowers were lovely, very bright and happy looking. Also by the sunflower field was a pretty life sized blue butterfly, which made for nice pictures. Next, we went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch, which was quite fun and the bales of hay we sat on were much more comfortable than they looked. Along the way, we spotted many Disney character cut outs, which was very charming. There were a bunch of family friendly games, including ring toss, checkers with mini pumpkins, shooting basketball, tug of war. The one we actually tried were the pedal cars, which was great to feel like a kid again! Pony rides were available, but only for children unfortunately. There were a few other animals around for petting, but they were not that lively. Then there was the corn maze and after that, we checked out the field of colorful wildflowers. On display was a life-size pink butterfly, which was even more beautiful than the blue one. The flowers were absolutely aesthetically pleasing, shining like jewels of pink, orange, yellow, red, and deep purple. We ended our time at the farm with visiting the little market store, where I bought apple cider donuts, pumpkin butter, gourmet soap, a rice crispy treat unicorn, and blackberry cider. Mmmm! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, as well as knowledgeable about the place. I would have enjoyed it if there were more fruits (like berries) to pick, but perhaps they are all out of season. There is no hot food of any kind sold on the premises. Also, only portable potties available, which we used only once when we first arrived and at that time, they were still fairly clean. Overall, my friends and I definitely had an enjoyable time!

    I took my kids and visiting family here on a Thursday when the kids had no school. I hear it can…read moreget crowded on the weekends, but on Thursday when we arrived a little before noon, it wasn't bad. They had a steady stream of newcomers but not too crowded. It was fairly easy to find though going there, my map told me to go down a treacherous gravel road which I wasn't terribly fond of. They have a moderately sized parking lot and you'll see this large, red barn. That's where you get your goodies (there's often a line) and where their store is. We stopped by for a treat first. They sell ice cream, cider floats, and what is a "TikTok famous" coffee float with donut. We got: Cider ($4) - I didn't actually drink this. I got it for my kid with food allergies. He wanted ice cream but they do not know if the ice cream they use contains eggs or not so we played it safe. My kid thought it was okay but finally finished it later. He typically prefers regular apple juice. Cider float with donut - you have a choice of no donut for $2 less. It's like a root beer float but with cider instead of root beer, black and orange sprinkles around the time of the cup, whipped cream, and a powdered cider donut over it all. I shared this with my daughter. That donut was delicious! Warm, tender, and crisp on the outside. The drink was great! I do wish it came with a spoon because it got difficult finishing the last of it. Warning: if you have one of these, the bees are coming for you. They use some sort of caramel-like sauce to get the sprinkles to stick. Overall, quite good. Maple cider donut ($3): my sister got this and she said it was amazing, but she said she thought $3 was a bit much (the unglazed donuts are $1.25 each). She's vegan, so didn't partake in the float, but she also wasn't going to ask if there's milk in the donut. If you're getting only donuts, they are purchased in the store. They have tables and chairs nearby for you to picnic and enjoy your treats. Going through the gates, there was a table but they were busy with other people so we walked right in. There is no entrance fee, which was nice. You go through the apple orchard first. It seems like most of the apples have been picked through, though there are a lot of developing apples. Some of the nicer ones were way too tall for us; they don't provide ladders. We only managed to find one that looked nice. At the end, there used to be a sunflower field and the corn maze. It's epic but you don't know how formidable until you're past the point of return and realize it's not a kids maze. We were in there for a while! Even met other kids that thought they'd be lost forever. The corn stalks are taller than a human and they're pretty dense so you can't look over or through them. It's a true maze and I was impressed. I wish they would provide a paper maze puzzle of the corn maze because I'm so curious how it is from above. Lots of dead ends. What I can say is don't lose hope. You'll get there! (When we finally found the exit, it was almost like a dream because we had been staring at corn for so long.) In hindsight, it was good we ate something first. Once done, we explored the sunflowers and saw the pumpkin patch. As we headed out, we went to pay for our lone apple and we discovered THE CORN MAZE IS NOT FREE. It's $10 per adult and $5 per kid. They charged us $1 for the single apple. I guess they work on the honor system? I didn't mind much because that maze clearly took planning. Before we left, we visited the store full of baked goodies. I got a few cider donuts, a dumpling, and a piece of crumb cake because they just brought out a fresh tray. Plus a lattice harvest pie. The pies with crumble aren't vegan, but the lattice pies are made of vegetable shortening. Restrooms! They have a row of port-a-potties by the parking lot. They're actually the cleanest ones I've been to before. No sinks but they do have a dispenser of antibacterial hand gel. The openings are a bit large so if your kid needs to use the toilets, hold onto them. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and I definitely think everyone should go through a corn maze of this caliber at least once in their life. The apple pickings were sparse but at least you get delicious floats and donuts! Note: they have gluten free goodies in the store but they are nut based (almond flour). They also had one gluten free-vegan item.

    My family and I made a trip to come here. It was a bit far of a drive about 2 hours but we wanted…read moreto check it out. There wasnt any pumpkin left in the field to pick and the apples were not event there on the trees. I would definitely have to say hand down to the cute little store - there was a bakery side and oh my gosh the donuts , the cookies and the Tik Tok famous drink was out of this world. So the 2 hour trip was definitely worth the drive. The service was okay the individuals behind the counter to order the Tik Tok drink had a bit of a attitude when I was asking about questions. Just stay patient. Other then that I would highly recommend coming here and trying a piece of all of there different donuts and cookies are soo soo good. They even had a pumpkin cider donut which I never had before. Don't forget to stop by and check them out.

This is a New Jersey Buffalo Ranch that sells at farmers markets. I'm up for trying something new and although I don't eat meat very often I love cheese. I especially love mozzarella and ricotta cheese. This business has both and so much more. I was assisted by a very knowledgeable and friendly man. He told me about other farmers markets where they sell. You can find Riverine at these markets:Union Square- Wed/SatInwood- Saturdays79TH & Columbus-SundaysJackson Heights- Sundays East 94 Street and 1st Avenue Sundays I recommend you bring an ice pack and your cooler!

And this farm uniquely carries water buffalo products. Fresh cheese, freshly cut meat, and you can wander around and gaze at the loving moisture cattle. The retail purchase store itself is quite tiny inside, despite looking big outside - visitors only have access to a cramped space in the front of it. Most of the first floor and all of the second floor - off limits! So get cozy with your neighbors. I got cozy with the cats, at least, but there were like 6 people in there and it felt a little clawstrophobic (see what I did there?) at times. There were too many people to deal with, so she had me rifle through all the meats myself until I finally found a good sirloin. She gave the best to the people before me though. Meat ain't cheap - $12-14 per pound at minimum, up from there for the best cuts. But that's still a bargain compared to the cheese - $10 for what she estimated at 1/3 lb! I can get literally any gourmet cheese from around the world at Wegman's for less. So atmosphere: outside beats inside. Service: the cats were the best part. Food: Delicacy $$. Verdict: I paid a pretty penny to cross this food off my bucket list, but I'm good.

She was knowledgeable of all the animals and patient and made sure all of the children got a turn petting all the animals, feeding and holding the goats.

(don't remember if it was male or female). It was priceless! There was so much that we learned about the animals! It was a great experience. I would highly recommend it and plan to return.

Rose Bridge is a sanctuary and working farm on land once owned by William Penn. Since 2013, the farm has become a 'forever home' for over 300 animals. Many of the animals are rescues from dairy farms, livestock auctions or other scenarios where they were at risk. They have several different activities, we opted for the Farm Fest, which combined several of the activities. The Farm Fest includes a mini farm animal husbandry tour, baby animal cuddling time, hands on craft activity, a beverage bar and an outdoor fire pit. It lasts about 2 hours. There were many parents there with children, but also adults like us by themselves. There are two times - 4-6 and 6:30-8:30. We went on the 4:00 tour. It was great! It was very interesting hearing how the animals came to the farm - it was so heartwarming to hear the stories of saving so many animals. However, I wasn't expecting the 'cuddling time' to be so much fun. We started with the goats - so friendly! They were nuzzling and 'pawing' us - I sat down and several came to me and wanted to be rubbed or held. I even had an opportunity to feed a baby goat its milk bottle! We interacted with pigs, sheep, a beautiful thoroughbred horse and a donkey! It was a very special experience! Afterwards we all went to a large barn and made crafts - specifically little planters we decorated, added dirt and seeds (large selection of flowers and vegetables seeds) to take home as a little souvenir. We had a dinner reservation so we left before the fire pit activity. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be with these farm animals and to support such a worthwhile project.
