Picking since 1908 beside the Monmouth Battlefield, Battleview is the Jersey Shore area's flagship orchard, famous for peaches, sour cherries, and a country store stocked with warm cider donuts year-round. Note: a hard April 2026 freeze hurt this year's tree-fruit crop, so call ahead — strawberries and a big pumpkin patch are still on. In normal years it's one of the state's most complete fruit farms.
