After 85 years and four generations, Russo Orchard Lane is proud to still be farming.  What started in the early 1900s as a small plot of land and roadside fruit and vegetable stand has expanded into a 250-acre fruit, vegetable, and greenhouse tomato farm.

Today, all of Russo’s farm produce is picked fresh daily and conveniently sold in their farm markets, which are located right on their farm in Allentown and in the Trenton Farmers’ Market.  Open daily from May to December, Russo’s also sells also a fine selection of jams, jellies, cider, wine, holiday decorations, Christmas trees, and floral arrangements.

But there’s so much more to Russo’s than their markets – especially if you have the itch to spend time enjoying the great outdoors and experience first hand the way things grow on a farm.  From June through October, Russo’s offers a wide variety of pick-your-own fruits and vegetables, such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, nectarines, apples, peas and pumpkins.  In December, you can bring the family to choose your Christmas tree.  Just remember to call ahead before you venture to their farm to find out what is available for picking and to make sure that they’re open.

The fun doesn’t stop with the picking!  Russo’s also has a number of other fun outdoor activities and unique attractions.  Depending on the season, kids can race their four giant straw horses, ride the "Pumpkin Patch Express" hay ride, get lost in their funny and challenging corn maze, or bundle up for a Christmas spirit horse and carriage ride.  And if you don’t have a place to celebrate a weekend birthday, Russo’s is the perfect spot – call them at (609) 259-3684 to make reservations.
