Demarest Farms

My family and I was here yesterday and we enjoyed the beautiful weather while pumpkin picking, shopping and taking a hayride.
We ordered delicious treats such as apple cider, pumpkin donuts and a sandwich.
This is a yearly family tradition and already looking forward to next year…😁
Definitely recommend families to visit 😁👍🏾

Went today for apple picking with my 7yo son and his 10yo cousin. They had a lot of fun. We got a lot of apples. A lot of the rows have been picked clean, but there are still random varieties in the middle and back of the orchard (like a few trees of greenling(?) apples near the hayride boarding site). A lot of people but still not crowded, plenty of parking. There is a petting zoo at $5 per person, a farm store with produce, a salad bar, coffee, toys and candy, a seating area and port a potties. At the top of the hill are the apples, pumpkins and a kids play area in the apple orchard. $8 per person plus $18 per bag, but each bag holds a lot of apples. I would definitely go back. There is also a Halloween lights display at night that seems like it would be a nice experience. I plan to try that in the future. Definitely worth a visit!

We have been to Demarest Farm twice so far in late September. A new find to explore with different friends/loved ones.

First trip, when you go to Demarest Farm, you have options to either go apple picking to the left or the market to the right side. We came with friends and our kids and decided on apple picking and farm afterwards. Apple picking happened after you hopped off the hayride. Given one bag per family.

The apples selection was vast with different kinds. Some trees had more than others, plenty to choose from if you favored certain kinds over others. All the apples had no wax on it (for example, what you see in the supermarket) and it is as natural and raw as you spot it.

Once you complete the apple picking, you conclude where you started from the hayride. There is a playground and allows children of different ages to play together. By the time we got there, it was close to 12:45pm, the heat was building up and we were about to leave. The playground gave plenty of colored options amd our littles had a good time in the train.

The market was good. Crowded but you knew it was lunch time and everyone was shopping around. The hot buffet had delicious macaroni anf cheese, apple cider donuts (plain, powdered, coated with sugar) , apple cider drink and more.

By our second trip the following weekend, we came with another set of friends. We explored the petting zoo with our lil one, went to the market earlier and even though the hot buffet was not opened yet, still lots of food was available. My favorite was the turkey deli on a roll, with mustard and brie - it was so good. My husband loved eating the plain apple cider donuts, the plain was his favorite and rarely have I seen him eat anything plain.

Suggestions for families - bring a stroller, keep in mind wheels might get muddy or dirty. Backpack for your lils waterbottles - sometimes apple picking was hot walking around.

Petting zoo - children under 2 years old was free admission. If you wanted to feed animals, you need to purchase the crackers by the entrance.

Staff was friendly and busy. Overall good day. Bring your own reusable bags. Will be back one day.

First time peach picking experience! I had so much fun despite the heat.
I was able to buy tickets on-site, and the staff were very friendly. There were plenty of peach trees available, and the peaches were a great size—ripe, juicy, and delicious!
Prices for other food items in the store were also reasonable.

The restroom was a trailer, which was fine, but the biggest downside was how incredibly hot it was inside due to the lack of ventilation.

Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience—I’d definitely go again, just maybe on a cooler day! 🍑
