The Farm Field Trip Experience
Plan your New Jersey farm field trip to Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm for educational fun and a hands on farm experience! All spring, summer, and fall farm tours include a hayride, picking of the seasonal crops and containers to take them home. Students can also use our picnic area, enjoy animal feeding and play time in the Animal Farm and an education farming lesson.
Strawberry Picking Hayride
Our first big crop of the season, mouth watering strawberries. This spring farm field trip tour includes a hayride to the strawberry patch where a farmer will share with you how we care for our berries and how to properly pick them. Each person will get to pick 1 quart of strawberries to take home. Select Deluxe option and add on radishes as well! A truly fun and unqiue crop to pick.
Summer Picking Hayride
Our summer harvest offers an assortment of picking options. Select one crop or two for a deluxe picking experience. Blackberries, peaches, and cherry tomatoes are available throughout the warmer months. Picking quantities depend on which crop and whether single or deluxe.
Apple Picking Hayride
Our apple orchard yields thousands of ripe delicious apples each fall, with several varieties. This fall field trip tour includes a hayride to the apple orchard where the apples await you. A farmer will share with you how we care for our apple trees and how to properly pick apples. Each person will get to pick a ¼ peck bag of apples to take home.
Pumpkin Picking
Our fields burst with pumpkins in the middle of September until October 31st. This is our longest running and most popular farm field trip. You enter into a bountiful beauty of color as you pick pumpkins right from the vine.
Deluxe Apple & Pumpkin Picking Hayride
Combine these two crops for a full FALL on the farm experience. If one crop is not enough for your group why not do both? Learn how both grow and how to harvest while everyone enjoys the scenic hayride around the farm.
Deluxe Late Fall Picking Hayride
Instead of pumpkins, trade in your picking basket for ears of popcorn and broccoli! Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm’s late fall hayride lets you pick popcorn, broccoli, or Indian corn after November 1st. This educational adventure includes a glimpse into old-fashioned corn shelling, making it a fun fall outing for all ages.
