NORZ HILL FARM

My original intent of making this blog was to provide good information about local places.

NORZ HILL FARM in Hillsborough, NJ is a place you do not want to miss with your kids!

We've been going every year since my daughter was born!  This year marked our 6th year going as a family.  We love the farm!

If you go, prepare to wait in line especially is you go on a nice, sunny autumn weekend afternoon!  Over the years, I have noticed it has gotten busier and busier.

The line to buy tickets can be long so rather then the entire family waiting, I started to take the kids into the Children's Play area.  They have a few large corn boxes filled with trucks for the kids to play in.  This is always a hit for my kids!  They spend a good 30-45 minutes playing there!  There are also some ride-on toys around and most of the kids seem pretty good about sharing.  There are benches around for the adults watching the little ones.

Pony rides require a ticket and my kids LOVE the pony rides.  I honestly don't mind paying the price of $5.00/child because they look forward to it every year.  

Then we hit the pumpkin patch.  You have an option of going on a Farm Tour and then the Pumpkin Patch or straight to the Pumpkin Patch.  Last year we did the Farm Tour/Pumpkin Patch combo but this year we went straight for the Pumpkin Patch.  We burned up tons of energy walking through the entire pumpkin patch only for my middle daughter to ask me to pick up up at the stand.  

They give you bags for your pumpkins which makes it easier to manage kids and pumpkins.  If you have little ones barely walking get your baby carrier out!  

It's never easy walking the pumpkin patch with all the vines but the kids love seeing all the gourds and pumpkins that the farm grows.  We have a blast taking memorable family phones!

Back at the farm stand area there are plenty of great decorations, food and cider to purchase.  They also have a food stand with popcorn, drinks and much more.  I got a very yummy candy apple!  There is also a nice seating area to enjoy your snack.

On the weekends there is also a DJ playing some tunes.  My kids love to dance so this was a highlight for them.

There are plenty of opportunities to take pictures.  One of our favorites is the ruler!
The first is from 2011 and the second is from 2012!
I've loved looking back at how much my kids have grown and changed!
