Secor Farms - Mahwah NJ

A nice quick day out with my little sister to enjoy the “Apple/Pumpkin” season before it comes to an end. I would normally go early in September but was quite a busy bee, but we made it. I always try to venture to different locations each year. So this year we picked “Secor Farms”. It was cost effective which is always a plus. We took a couple of pictures, enjoyed a quick 10 min hayride and ended our adventure purchasing some “Apple Cider” donuts and “Apple Cider”. I will definitely come back just to purchase some donuts, delicious.

I found these last-minute plants. It was beautifully decorated for Halloween/fall. Took my family to enjoy a Sunday morning. It features a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch, two corn mazes, a tractor ride, and numerous photo opportunities. I tried their apple cider, which was donated.

When one thinks of the words ‘rural’ and ‘farmland,’ these are not terms one hears a lot in Bergen County, NJ, one of the most heavily populated counties to surround New York City. Yet the county has a rich history in farming and agriculture from the late 1600s up into the 1970s. The small farms in north Jersey do more than just provide fruits and vegetables for our tables. They are open-air classrooms to our agricultural past, places to buy fresh produce and baked goods to support local family farm stores, and places for interesting special events and outings for families. Being the first Saturday after Labor Day, my partner and I got a head start on the apple cider donuts made fresh daily, just oozing with apple cidery goodness and never hot. Since 1973, located on Airmont Avenue in Mahwah, Secor Farms is a reminder of Bergen County's rural past and one of the last farms left in the area, passed down through three generations. Upon arrival in the afternoon, parking was not an issue with only a handful of vehicles. However, the farm comes alive starting Sept 15 with a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and a petting zoo where reservations are required, with all sorts of activities. Their outside garden centers had pumpkins, gourds, fall decorations, and mums for purchase. We went inside their marketplace full of produce and managed to get a bag of mixed apple cider donuts and a quart of apple cider. These baked donuts have the sweet tartness of apple cider with a coating of cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar. They were soft, moist, tender, and tastefully delicious. The price was reasonable. The staff was friendly. We can recommend this place.

It was my daughter & granddaughter's 3rd time going! (My 1st) Beautiful, large, well kept, clean farm! Great fun for kids & adults! They have a corn maze & hayrides that take you around their beautiful & decorated grounds. They have a market & tables to eat on the premises. You won't be disappointed!

I went with my mom on a Monday, the first day of the Hayrides and we absolutely adored how well thought out everything was, there is the market, pumpkin patch and plenty of photo opportunities. The hayrides were $17 for both of us and it takes you through an array of really cute and funny decor and another pumpkin patch with two corn mazes in the back. You’re allowed to stay more time than the 30 minutes scheduled so I would suggest bringing all the snacks from the market to eat there! All the employees were very helpful and Lilly the black farm cat was a sweetie too. Thank you!
