The market is gaily decorated with corn stalks, Indian corn, squaw corn, gourds, all types of winter squash, hardy mums and many painted pumpkins.  The market tables are filled with numerous varieties of crisp, juicy apples and the tantalizing aroma of fresh baked pies and donuts fill the air.  Bottles of just-pressed cider line the cider case.  We feature one of the largest displays of pumpkins in the State of New Jersey and have giant pumpkins galore for the pleasure of all.  This is a fun season for families and children of all ages, with fabulous photo opportunities everywhere.

WEEKEND HAYRIDES

Hayrides for your family enjoyment through the orchards and farmland behind the market delight young and old alike beginning the weekend after Labor Day through October.  They are available without reservation.

We have created a puzzle maze through a living corn field.  Open only on the weekends, adults and children will enjoy this addition to their farm visit.  Our crawl maze and Giant Hay Maze are sure to challenge the youngest adventurers.  A very challenging Rope Maze and our new Mazes for 2010: Pipe Maze and Kiddie Hay Maze. 
Also available is our "Kiddie Corn Pit Play Area".  A giant corn filled sand box for ages 1-6.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Weekend family hayrides beginning the weekend after labor day through October are available without reservations and feature a free pick-your-own pumpkin.

Groups and organizations may schedule hayrides Monday through Friday beginning the next to last week in August through October.  Call (973) 425-9819 for more information.  *Please do not e-mail for scheduling.  Calling us is the only way to plan your outing!

Another fun activity at Wightman's Farm.  The targets are plentiful but you have to be good!  See if you hit the target and win a large pumpkin.
