tents in the orchards

Share the bounty of our farm with us! It all starts with a scenic Hayride to our fields and orchards where every child and adult will meet Farmer Sam and learn about the crops and how to pick the ripest and juiciest fruit. Following that, everyone will pick their own fruit and put it in a basket. What better way to learn hands-on farming than going in the field yourself?! Also, add a link to his blogs if possible.

unlimited activity wristbands
This includes unlimited pony rides, moon bounce, corn kingdom, wagon train and hay wagon rides, and admission to Pick Your Own fields. The price is $13 per child (ages 2 – 12). We do not guarantee earlier start or later finishing times for the activities. Please keep those times in mind when purchasing activity wristbands as an add-on to your party.

weather-related cancellation policy
Events are not canceled for weather-related reasons until 3 pm the day before your event. To avoid the stress of rescheduling your event, we recommend waiting until the morning of your event to make that decision. Why? Weather forecasts change hourly and are frequently wrong. Should you decide to cancel/reschedule prior to the 3 pm cut off the day before your event, you will be required to pay a rescheduling fee of $50 and will forfeit your deposit.

Check the weather at www.weather.com the day before your party (no earlier than 3 pm) at the zip code location 07930 and click ‘hour by hour.’ We look at percentages 2 hours prior, during and 2 hours after your event time and determine whether a party should be canceled based on those percentages.

50% + chance of rain
If there is a 50%+ chance of rain starting 2 hours before, during or after your event time you may reschedule your tour with no rescheduling fees. Your deposit will carry over to the rescheduled date.

less than 50% chance of rain
We will mutually discuss and agree to proceed, reschedule or cancel your tour utilizing the fee structure outlined above.
