Since we live in the Garden State, it’s no surprise to find an abundance of farms in nearly every county. Here is a small list of farms that have corn mazes, hay rides, pumpkins and so much more. Support your neighbors; buy local produce (“Jersey Fresh”) and have some fun at the same time!
Depending on which farm you visit, you may be able to satisfy one or more of these requirements: Tiger (1g, 5g), Wolf (10c), Bear (3c, 3d, 8e, 10a, 12b 12c, 12d), Webelos (Naturalist 10, Traveler 1-6)
