New Jersey's largest apple grower, run by the Melick family for 10 generations, with u-pick orchards spread around the postcard-pretty village of Oldwick. The on-site cider mill presses fresh cider you can watch being made, and adults can sample the farm's own hard cider and apple wine. Peach and pumpkin picking run at the nearby Califon orchard.
