Berry Picking Update: June 15, 2025
Pick-Your-Own RASPBERRIES: No picking this weekend. We had a great turnout for picking, so the field needs time to replenish. Please check back to see when the gorgeous Red Raspberries will be available for picking again. Weather and crop conditions permitting, raspberry picking is available Tuesday through Sunday. The raspberry field is closed on Mondays. Please scroll down the page for raspberry picking details.
Pick-Your-Own STRAWBERRIES: Limited picking. Our strawberry season is winding down. Our field is open for picking, but it will take time to find ripe strawberries. It’s always best to call ahead for current crop conditions. This activity is always weather and crop conditions permitting. Again, it is best to call ahead.
Pick-Your-Own activities are available until one hour before the farm market closes. It’s always best to CHECK FOR UPDATES BEFORE YOU VISIT! All information is subject to change. For up-to-the-minute crop and picking conditions, call 908-852-9122 (x1). See you on the farm soon!
