Gaver Farm

“Gaver Farm is truly one of the best family destinations in the area and a fall tradition for us every year. Tickets are easy to purchase directly from their website, with the convenience of paying by card or Apple Pay. You can choose single-day admission or a season pass—we always opt for the season pass since it allows us to visit several times a week, making it the best value. Children under 24 months are admitted free. And you do not need a ticket to attend a wagon ride and to purchase pumpkins. The farm runs from late August through early November, with ample parking available in a gravel and grass lot. On weekends, staff are out directing traffic to keep things organized and running smoothly. At the entrance, there are two main barns—one for admission and wristbands, and the other housing a small shop where you can purchase animal feed, pumpkins, mums, and a wide variety of gifts. The shop carries everything from local honey and fresh baked goods to seasonal décor, ornaments, and toys for little ones. Families will find the farm easy to navigate with strollers and wagons. While there are no storage lockers, it’s simple enough to bring a backpack with snacks and water. There are plenty of picnic tables, changing stations, port-a-potties, and sanitizer stations available throughout. The fall festival attractions are truly outstanding and offer something for every age. From pig ride races on weekends, pillow jumping, and rope courses to playgrounds, wooden trains, grain sensory tents, gem mining, and duck racing—the variety is unmatched. And of course, the giant corn maze is a highlight every year. The farm also features a large animal area with everything from goats and alpacas to peacocks, bunnies, donkeys, pigs, and more. Food trucks and snack huts are conveniently located around the grounds, with ample seating and hand-washing stations nearby. The farm is extremely well-organized, safe, and welcoming, making it easy to spend the entire day enjoying activities without feeling rushed. Overall, Gaver Farm offers the most diverse and family-friendly fall festival experience in the area. It’s well worth the admission, and the season pass is an unbeatable value. We look forward to returning year after year!”

“We went here for some pick-your-own apples at their orchard in early October. This was on a Friday, and I found that many orchards at this time of year were only doing apple picking on Saturday and Sunday. So bonus points for being open Friday. The apple picking was good, though about half the orchard was roped off and the other half had only a few varieties of apples left. Not a problem, though, as the two types of apples we picked were very tasty. You'll take a short hayride out to the orchard. There's also a pumpkin patch Iin the same area. There is much more than just apple picking going on at this time of year. For families with kids, there was a whole fall festival going on with rides and attractions. I think I saw a petting zoo area as well. If you're just going for apple picking you do not need to buy a ticket to the fall festival. It was quite packed, mostly with families and even with what appeared to be school-sponsored trips. Could have been extra busy due to the government furlough. There were food stands offering the basics, as well as a barn selling everything from food to lawn decorations.”

“Another fantastic fun-farm in our area. Lots of animals, games, food spots, scenery, hay ride, low ropes course, things to climb on, corn maze, etc. It’s definitely smaller than say cherry hill but deserving of 5 stars. Well kept. Nice staff. It would however be nice if there were proper bathrooms, not just spot-a-pots. Nice place though, very easy to spend an enjoyable day out there.”

“Absolutely loved our experience at Gaver Farm! Chopping down our own Christmas tree was such a fun and memorable tradition to start. The whole process was incredibly simple, and we found exactly the tree we wanted. Could not have asked for a better experience — friendly staff, beautiful trees, and a truly festive atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back next year!”

“Great place to take the family and kids! They have a lot of things to do: tractor rides, pedal cars, slides, mazes, ball throws and more! Food here is good, got Apple Cider donuts, Coffee latte and ice cream but the drinks are small size for about $2.25. The main building has pies, decorations and more to offer, would definitely return!”

“Thank you for sharing this beauty freely. Visited first Sunday of September. Thank God for the perfect sky. Lots of photo booths, free hayride, fun activities for kids with small fees. With your kindness, we could enjoy a day away from the city. Thanks again.”

“By far the best family friendly local farm around. They take very good care of their animals and have made it such a fun place for kids and adults. Birthday parties there are always fun, have one for my daughter every year in October”

“Lots of fun activities for kids, and great photo ops around the farm. The apple cider wasn't great on the day we went. It was just ok. Seemed a bit expensive. Bought 2 large pumpkins, 5 very small pumpkins, brownies and donuts which somehow came up to about $95.”
