Riamede Farm
📍 Chester, New Jersey · Morris County · old-fashioned heirloom apple picking
New Jersey's oldest dedicated pick-your-own apple orchard, Riamede is a 68-acre throwback with no admission gates, no giant festival — just rows of trees including hard-to-find heirloom varieties. Wagon rides run out to the orchard during apple season, and the farm store keeps cider slushies and donuts flowing. Late summer brings a low-key flower and veggie 'Bloom Fest.'

“As we walked through the rows of apple trees, we snapped some aesthetic fall photos, and also tasted a few of the varietals.”
“Those hulking, gnarled, deeply rooted 70-plus-year-old Red Delicious trees produce apples that have a more tender skin and deeper, rounder, more complex flavor than the modern supermarket Red Delicious.”
