Apple and Pumpkin Picking near Toms River!
It’s no surprise that there aren’t a ton of ‘pick your own’ farms in Toms River, so we’ve branched out a bit. For fun seasons like Fall, we’re listing the places we’ve found in Ocean County as well as those a little further out. Hopefully it will be worth the drive during this beautiful time of year. Please be sure to call ahead and make sure they have what you are looking for! Some of these also have hayrides and Halloween fun, but we’ll post another article next month with those included. The hunt is on! Here is a link with all of the farms in the neighboring countys. And here is another link with all of the PYO farms in NJ!
