Snyder’s Farm In Somerset, New Jersey

Getting all the farm feels

The centerpiece of Snyder’s Farm is a vast white farmhouse surrounded by lawn games, flowers, and farmland. There are beautiful flowers, local honey, and U-pick opportunities throughout the season. U-Pick strawberries are available from May to early June; in June and July, U-Pick blueberries and raspberries are available; from July through August, you can pick blackberries. In the fall, at their Fall Festival, you can find pumpkins and sunflowers. Always check ahead before picking to check the weather and crop availability. 

Finding fun with games, photos, and food

Whether you’re going for a picking or a special event, Snyder’s Farmhouse has a bunch of games on the lawn, so kids can spread out and play, and parents can sit for a bite. Kids can climb on the oversized Adirondack chair (a prime photo op), put their faces in cutouts for goofy photos, play ring toss, and try hula hoops. And on weekends, there is a diverse assortment of food trucks to grab a bite.  

Visit the roadside stand

Snyder’s Farm roadside stand is open from July to the second week in September and is stocked with Jersey fresh produce, such as corn, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Beyond the produce, you’ll find sunflowers, potted plants, and their signature jams, salsas, sauces, and honey procured from hives at the farm.

What to know before you go

Check out the U-Pick page for updates on the picking seasons. For produce, strawberries (typically late May-mid-June), blueberries and raspberries (typically late June-late July), blackberries (late July-August), pumpkins and sunflowers (during the Fall Festival in late September and October). All picking depends on weather and crop availability, so please call before you visit for any updates to their phone message at (732) 496-0441. Closed-toed shoes, light-colored clothing, sunscreen, and a hat are recommended. Picnic baskets, strollers, and coolers are prohibited in the picking field. The farm is cash only, and an ATM is on-site if needed. Please always watch your footing on the property; Snyder’s is a working farm, so there will be uneven ground, so dress accordingly.
