Not sure where to 'Pick Your Own?' There are many farms and stands for PYO, but here are 3 of our favorite New Jersey farms that offer year-round family fun, with lots of ripe and ready fruits & veggies:

Alstede Farms (Chester, NJ)

A Mommy Poppins NJ favorite, this sprawling farm has wagon rides out to their vast growing fields, fresh flower picking, barn animals and a wide variety of PYO crops throughout the summer, including strawberries, corn and cantaloupe. Check out the picking schedule here.

Terhune Orchards (Princeton, NJ)

Terhune Orchards is a family friendly farm in the beautiful Princeton suburb that has a loyal following. Check out their on-site winery, bountiful pumpkin patch in the fall and sweet cherries and blueberries come summer. See what's in season here.

Donaldson Farms (Hackettstown, NJ)

A working farm in the Hackettstown area for over 100 years, Donaldson Farms holds festivals and farmers markets all year round, including ‘Summer Nights on the Farm’ with music, a locally-sourced menu and pony rides for kids. Strawberry picking is winding down, but mid summer brings juicy blackberries and raspberries. View their PYO info here.

Happy picking!
