One of our favorite things to do with the kids in the fall is to visit different farms around New Jersey. It's become a really sweet tradition and we all love it. This month we visited A. Casola Farm in Holmdel, NJ on the most glorious fall day. It is one of, if not, our favorite farm in New Jersey for more than one reason, keep on reading. On today's post you will find our top five farms to visit during the fall in New Jersey. And if you want to watch our mini vlog from our day at A. Casola Farm, click HERE.
A. Casola
Located in Holmdel, we love the beautiful grounds and size of the farm, it's not too big or small. It has everything from a petting zoo, to hay rides, corn maze, pony rides and a beautiful garden. But my favorite part is the wine tasting! Mom win:) This farm is free to enter and you basically just pay for the activities you plan to do. We went on a weekday this year and it was perfect to avoid the crowds.
Happy Day Farm
One of NJ's most instagrammable farms is also the busiest! Its big in size and has all the amazing and most fun farm activities. From pig races and corn mazes, to the hay rides and the fun slide. The classic tug-o-war and just so many fun games for the entire family. We love that they always have several food trucks lined up. The only down side to this farm besides its popularity (it gets packed!) is that it is also one of the most expensive farms to visit. This year each pass is $27, which includes just some of the activities, not all. Nonetheless, it's worth the visit but I recommend going as soon as they open their doors to avoid the crazy crowds on the weekend.
Alstede Farms
Nestled in the picturesque town of Chester, Alstede Farms is a family-owned gem offering a delightful pick-your-own experience. With over 600 acres of farmland, it's a paradise for fruit and vegetable enthusiasts. You can pick your own strawberries, blueberries, apples, pumpkins, and more, depending on the season. The farm also hosts events, including hayrides, farm animals, and a fantastic farm store.

Terhune Orchards
For an authentic farm experience, Terhune Orchards in Princeton should be on your list. This charming family farm offers apple and pumpkin picking, as well as a fantastic winery. You can explore their orchards, sample local wines, and visit their farm store for fresh produce and homemade baked goods. We visited Terhune Orchards for a birthday party one year and it was so much fun! The kids loved the painting area and it was overall a beautiful farm.

Maple Leaf Farms
Located in Manalapan, NJ we love the train ride that goes all around their beautiful playground and animal farm. This farm has pig races, a nice pumpkin patch and fun hay ride. They also have a beautiful selection of flowers and plants which we always love to shop for. This year they even have a live bull ride and country music and every weekend.
Maple Leaf should be on your list for the holidays too, as they create a magical Christmas Walk Thru where the kids even get to visit and see Santa... my kids love it year after year.
Autumn is my absolute favorite for these traditions, I hope the kids will always remember these memories. This year Sebis is loving everything and I love to watch him explore and be in awe of all the little things that sometimes us adults take for granted. I hope you guys get to visit one of these farms this year, I promise you'll love them just like we do.
