Value and Pricing

Pros:

• "We got 1/2 peck of apples which came out to 2 dozen apples & we got 20 stems of sunflowers... we only spent $34 the whole day & picked up a pie in the market."
• "Not too expensive either!"
• "They are very reasonably priced, and after having been married there, I would have gladly paid double knowing exactly how much work they put into making our wedding day special."
• "The prices aren’t crazy either and it was a great experience."
• "Each part of it is cheap, except for the pumpkin picking, because they charge by the pound and it adds up fast, so be careful!"
• "You pay an affordable fee to see the Apple field, sunflower field, corn maze and pumpkin field."

Cons:

• "Paid $15.70 online just to park in the apple picking area and then of course pay for the apples picked on top of that."
• "The prices are extremely high for the area, sadly we left the farm without the 2 pumpkins we picked as one alone was $16."
• "Admission price + product prices expensive, but I suppose most farms overcharge in the fall."
• "I'm saddened by not only having been forced to leave behind the most perfect pumpkin carefully picked from the patch, but by the sad reality that so many local families wouldn't have even been able to afford what little we were."
• "I met friends here for apple picking and found it overpriced for the experience."
• "However, the pumpkin picking is EXPENSIVE! It was $16 per person just to go to the pumpkin patch."
• "If you want to overpay for pumpkins and apples definitely come here."

Facilities and Activities

Pros:

• "The farmers market was full of homemade goodies and decorations."
• "Also great romantic trip! They offer seasonal picks, too."
• "Their peaches are amazing and with a little tangy flavor. Great height for picking by young ones."
• "All of our guests mentioned to us and others that ours was a wedding they'd never forget - and we believe its almost entirely because of the venue we chose!"
• "There's a private barn you can rent for special occasions."
• "Stunning farm, it just feels like home."
• "Beautiful farm! My husband and I went to Johnson’s Locust Farm on a date to pick sunflowers and apples."

Cons:

• "The slide hurt my butt oh well."
• "Pony rides are just ok."
• "No other animals to feed."
• "It's $3.75 per every person in the group to feed goats and sheep (you can't even touch them, double fence; lots of big gnats flying around)."
• "The weather caused lots of things to close & the pick your own was closed today too bc of wet muddy fields."
• "The actual picking farm itself is smaller than I expected but well organized."

Location and Accessibility

Pros:

• "This is located at the end of a long driveway."
• "It's fairly easy to get to from the Turnpike and major routes."
• "It's located off Rt 537 easy to spot and a reasonable straight shot from Rt 206 and the Jersey Turnpike and Rt 206 from S. Jersey."

Cons:

• "I don't get why we can't just walk over to the apple farm as its faster to walk than wait for a ride."
