We Are A Camera

Spend a day with the kids in New Jersey farm country picking pumpkins, and time permitting, add on a hay ride or a trip to the corn maze. In the fall, the daytime New Jersey countryside becomes a bright landscape, color-quilted with leafy hues and the night time sky is clear and vivid shining stars. The pumpkin picking season in New Jersey begins as early as September 15, with peak activity from October 1 October 15, with the season ending on Halloween Day, and on some farms, into early November. Pick-Your-Own farms vary in the activities they offer, from the farm that offers only pick your own to those that feature a wide range of activities including hay rides, corn mazes, animals, and many Halloween attractions.
