Become a 2022 Barnyard Buddies Club Member

Summertime brings warm weather, barbecues, Jersey Fresh produce, and the return of our signature Barnyard Buddies kid’s program! Barnyard Buddies is every Friday, mid-June through Labor Day, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Each of our 12 sessions is $10 per participant (only kids pay, not parents) and is appropriate for ages 2 & up.

We know a lot of our kids join us for multiple sessions throughout the summer which is why we’ve decided to offer a Barnyard Buddies Club Membership. For only $129.99, a Barnyard Buddies Club Membership includes:

  • 12 weeks of Barnyard Buddies program admission ($120 value)
  • A “Barnyard Buddies Kid” t-shirt ($12 value)
  • Your choice of a plush Barnyard Buddies stuffed animal from our farm market ($10 value)

Time to herself … in the saddle

If mom needs a little time to herself, away from the kids and life’s quick pace, how about a horseback riding lesson? Now here’s a gift that’s unique! There’s a handful of moms that lesson with us each week … it’s just personal time doing something they enjoy.  The horses are calm and gentle, the barn is peaceful and quiet, and the scenery is beautiful! Lessons are one hour & are taught at our barn on Kayharts Lane at our farm in Washington Twp. Contact us to schedule a lesson!

Join the I Love CSA Challenge

Announcing our ‘I Love CSA Challenge’

For a chance to win a $250 Visa gift card -or- a free CSA share!

If you’re like our staff here at the farm, you’re looking forward to spring and loving the thoughts of:

  • Fresh, local food
  • Eating healthy
  • The feeling of community
  • Consistent quality & value
  • Quick, convenient pick-up
  • New recipes & guidance on cooking
  • Knowing exactly where your food comes from

That’s exactly what CSA is all about…and we want to share all those wonderful values with you, your family, and your friends!

Our challenge is easy…

What folks do you know that would enjoy the fresh, healthy produce received in a CSA share? Or knowing their food will be harvested fresh for them each week by local farmers they can trust. Who do you know that would enjoy getting new recipes & produce cooking/storage tips each week?

Simply share the contact info of a few folks you think might enjoy CSA (yes, we are asking for potential new CSA member referrals). We’ll contact them with CSA Program info & an incentive to join. We won’t overdo it with sending lots of emails, & we promise to never share contact info with anyone!

What you’ll win…

You’ll receive a chance to win a $250 gift card or CSA share (size of your choice!) for each referral you give. And each person referred to us will be given a chance to win, too!

We will randomly choose 2 ‘I Love CSA Challege’ winners who will be notified on Valentine’s Day … one REFERER and one REFERENCE!

This challenge is for EVERYONE! You don’t have to be a CSA member to join. And if you are a CSA member that has already paid for your CSA share, we’ll give you a complete refund if you are one of our lucky winners!
