Eastmont Orchards

Was in New Jersey at the right time of the year for
Apple picking. The week we went the orchard had
3 varieties that were ripe. We picked McIntosh, Gala and Honeycrisp.
We got our exercise walking around the orchard to get the best apples. The best part is eating the
apples right off the tree.
Other varieties we saw were Red Delicious, Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples, but they were not ripe yet.
The orchard also had peaches available to pick that week
All of the staff were very nice You pay by the pound.
They have strong plastic bags to carry your apples.
Rolling carts are also available to use in the field.

My favorite place to go apple picking! They have no entrance fees, which I truly appreciate. The cost of apples per pound is reasonable as well. They had many rows of apple trees to pick from. I like the different photo opportunities they had up as well. There was a minion, turkey, and cow display up when I went recently. So cute!

They had some food stands up as well. I saw a lot of people getting the freshly squeezed lemonade. I didn't get it, but it seemed like it would be so refreshing to drink after picking apples!

I go here often to pick the freshest peaches and nectarines. Always so sweet and tasty. The staff is friendly. I just wish the hours were a bit longer. And I wish they did some peach breakfasts like alstede farms does in north jersey.

It's not Fall without a trip to the pumpkin patch! Eastmont Orchards was the perfect place to hunt for some Autumn goodies. Free parking and admission makes the trip even better. There was a wide selection of pumpkins to choose from--white or orange, baking or decorative, take your pick! For only .79 a pound, you can buy a quality pumpkin for a bargain! (Keep in mind, there is an upcharge for credit card use!) There are also wagons full of gourds in all different shapes and sizes--the perfect "natural" Halloween decorations! Many Insta-worthy photo-ops are positioned within the pumpkin patch, like the stack of hay bales in my photo below. On top of pumpkins, there's also a huge apple orchard nearby. We came at the end of apple season, so there wasn't much variety. However, we were able to find a nice bunch of Crispins and Red Delicious! Easton also has a food court with apple cider donuts, popcorn, and seasonal drinks, but I assume it's only open on weekends because it was closed when I visited on a Monday. If you're looking for a classic Fall experience down the shore, make sure to check out Easton Orchards!

We arrived on a hooooot, sunny October Sunday and there were plenty of apples to pick. Not a single tree grows in the area, thus we were sweating bullets and frying in the sun mercilessly. Bring hats, sunglasses and sunblock.

There are no stationary shops/stores. Only a patch of land that consists of the orchard. No shade anywhere. Pop up tents and trucks are set up every morning to cell goodies like apple cider doughnuts, apply cider, and other seasonal treats.

No entrance fee. Cannot believe how many farms have started charging an entrance fee in these difficult times.

Pick your own apples are $2.29 per lb. and pumpkins are $0.69 per lb. If you're paying with a credit card, you'll pay an additional 3.985% fee on your purchase. Our two bags of apples cost us $47 plus $2 credit card fee.

On the first weekend of October, all you can pick here are apples and pumpkins. Sadly nothing else.

Only Portable bathrooms available on the farm grounds.

We usually spend the whole day on a pick your own farm, but we spent only less than two hours here. Very simple, bare minimum orchard, with nothing else to do other than pick apples and collect pumpkins.

The entrance is not well maintained or paved, but the parking lot is huge and its free. Upon arriving we checked in and there was no fee to enter. We brought our own bags and they just ask that we keep Peaches and Apples separate. The staff was pleasant and you pay for what you pick, $2.29 a LB.

They had a bunch of tree lined areas with choices of, white and yellow peaches. This place is so big, to our surprise they had a few Apple Trees blooming with 2 selections. Its only August 2021 so that was expected. I got so happy when I saw the nectarines. My husband and I ate one and it was delicious. Its a pretty good exercise too. The weather was great for picking as it wasn't so hot out.

I was able to pick up some Organic Strawberry and Raspberry Jam at $7.50 each and Eggplant at $1.99 a LB. They sell huge beautiful Sun Flowers for $2.50 each. They also have a a food truck with Hotdogs and other fast food, an Ice cream truck, and a Peach Ice Tea stand. We opted to dine elsewhere to avoid traffic heading back home.

The only disappointment is this place does not have an eating area, no benches or a seating section to enjoy the food they sell. We will definitely return though. FYI they only accept cash

Ps. I made an amazing Peach Cobbler with our Harvest.

The orchard is very nice, lots of variety of apples. Everything is clearly marked and what I love is that they don't charge you admission during the week. You bring your own bag and pay only for what you pick. It's very reasonable and lots of fun. Nice friendly service too. Would definitely go back.

Very straight forward apple picking situation. Unfortunately the apple donuts were not available at the time I went. Make sure to use the bathroom before you go because outhouses are the only option out there.

Very nice farm. Mexican corn and Apple Cider are great. Fair prices, clean and easily accessible. My friends and I had a nice time.

I was looking forward to visiting the orchard and thankful that the weather held out. I appreciate the variety of apples they have and the fact that they make sure to guide you to the best apples for the season. The variety signs were really helpful and the prices are reasonable.
There aren't a lot of options for young kids. I would say this is a great place for adults, teens and the recently walking youngsters.
