We believe Riamede Farm was one of the first pick-your-own apple orchards in New Jersey, having first opened its orchards to the public during harvest back in 1974. We have apple pickers who arrive today with their young child in tow and tell us that Riamede Farm was their favorite fall outing when they were their child’s age!
Our farm comprises 68 acres with half of our orchards still nurturing big old seedling apple trees planted over nearly a century ago by Lowry and Maria Mead in the 1930s. The old trees are genuine antiques and provide our farm with a 19th century feeling. Riamede’s acreage has been a farm since the late 1700s, and we’re proud to continue to uphold that agricultural heritage.
We are a peaceful and quiet old-time apple orchard with a pumpkin field out back. Simple, authentic, and without the carnival.
