Emery's Farm, which has been growing and selling for over 50 years, boasts over 60 acres that are mostly dedicated to growing its organic blueberries. The farm also houses an adorable farm market that sells jams, preserves, and an impressive array of baked goods (no gluten-free goodies though, boo!). During the fall, they harvest pumpkins and also have hayrides, a corn maze, and straw bale maze for the kids (and adults) to enjoy! And the farm animals are always there to greet the visitors. My kids had a blast hanging out and feeding the goats, sheep, donkey, and chickens. Fun, fun!
The highlight of Emery Farm, however, are the awesome blueberries. It is worth a trip out to New Egypt just to bring home a 3lb bag (they also sell them in 10lb boxes) of these mouth-watering berries. During berry season, the farm offers U-pick passes so that you can go out in the fields and pick your own. Since blueberry picking season just ended last week, all blueberries are now sold frozen in the farm market. We bought 3lbs (at only $4 a pound!), and I will definitely be heading back for more to stock up throughout the fall/winter. They are absolutely the most delicious blueberries you will ever eat!
Emery's Farm and Berry Patch is located at 346 Long Swamp Road in New Egypt. Take the trip out and treat yourself to some organic blueberries and support your local farmers. Be sure to tell them Gluten Free Jersey Girl sent ya!
