Peach picking in New Jersey is fun for children and offers up one of the great joys of summer: A sweet treat plucked fresh off the tree. The Garden State has pick-your-own peach farms aplenty, so you should be able to find one close by.

The peach picking season in New Jersey really gets going in mid-July and carries on through August and even early September at some farms. Before heading out on a peach-picking family adventure, call ahead or check the farm’s Facebook page to make sure crops are still plentiful and see what other fruits are available on any given day—you might also be able to pick blueberries, which are available at many farms through the end of July.
