For nine generations the Taylor family has tilled the soil of their family-owned farm. Even after donating 89-acres to the New Jersey Natural Lands trust for a conservation easement, they still work the land growing organic fruits and veggies. They do let you come onto the farm and pick your own but if you’re not into the whole playing farmer thing, there is a farm stand where you can pick up what the Taylors have planted and picked.
The quantities aren’t huge – it is, after all, organic and that requires a lot of attention. But there is a good selection throughout the growing season -- apples, blueberries, cherries, corn, eggplant, melons, peaches, pumpkins, squash and all kinds of other Jersey Fresh produce. No picking the lima beans though -- that is left to the Taylor family.
Whether you pick your own or prefer to let them do the work, take time to wander the farm’s trails. The family installed interpretive markers so you can learn about the farm’s history.
