Stokes Farm

I really liked this farm. I moved to Old Tappan last November and was happy to get to know Stokes Farm. I purchased the U-Pick Flower Membership ($175), which allows you to pick flowers once a month from July to mid-October. It was also mentioned that if I missed a month, I could double up the next time or let a friend pick instead. Last month I was too busy because my child had just started school and caught a cold, so today was finally the only chance I had to use my missed pick. Since I needed to double up, I brought my daughter’s friend along. Today was already October 11th, close to the end of the season, so I couldn’t postpone it any longer. Unfortunately, it started raining quite a bit, enough that it was uncomfortable for the six-year-olds to stay outside. When I received the scissors, I politely asked if, given the weather, it would be okay to take two small pumpkins and pick just a small amount of flowers instead. But the staff member didn’t even look at me and just turned away, saying, “We don’t do that.” The tone felt dismissive and rude, as if I were trying to get something for free. I understand if it’s against policy, but the attitude was really disappointing. I’ve already paid $175, which is $43.75 per visit, and every time I came before, I also bought other things, spending over $70 each time. Yet today I was treated like a freeloader, even though I was using two visits’ worth (an $87.50 value), while they were being friendly only to the people at the checkout counter. Because of the rain, we couldn’t even fill half the bucket, and I ended up paying $3 more for mini pumpkins my kids wanted. Still, I left thinking, “I’m not coming back.” They may have made a small sale today, but they lost a loyal future customer.

The small apple crisp was $13 (9/24/25) and it was 80% crust. Hardly any apples. Not what I was expecting. It was about 7" round. The regular pies are $27 but I won't buy that with no apples in the crisp.

I grew up eating great Italian food, but there is simply no beating the vibrant flavors of Mexican food. As with Italian food, Mexican food requires very fresh ingredients to pull off authenticity and with this "farm to table" method, Stokes Farm has nailed it. Today they introduced their collaboration with The Taco-ish. With this they are bringing some needed life back into Old Tappan. We ordered the chicken thigh tacos, a side of guacamole, and the cassava chips. They generously threw in a side of the tomato salsa, a side of the cauliflower and mushroom salsa, and some tortilla chips. The food was simple, delicious and fresh. Just the right balance of acid, heat, and savory flavors. The mushroom and cauliflower salsa is unique and excellent. They have plenty of outdoor seating and the staff were kind and helpful. The prices may seem slightly on the higher end, but you get what you pay for and what you are getting here is no compromise in quality. That said, I wouldn't have said no to a little more guacamole. Old Tappan really needed this and I'm very excited to see what Stokes Farm will bring next. I highly recommend you go check them out and pick up something from the farm stand while you are at it.

Such wonderful people, always a great time. The egg plants are astonishing!

Excellent and so nice and helpful they didnt have chives so a very nice man went into their garden and cut us some. They are great and vegetables and fruit is fresh and delicious. Definitely going back there

The best farm in Northern New Jersey! Great produce, baked goods and flowers! The staff is accommodating, professional, experienced and genuinely kind. I MUST visit! Thank you Stokes Farm!!!

This place has a farm stand, pumpkins, a hale maze (just 2 ft high), tractor pull, and pumpkins placed in a field for selection. I cannot recommend this as a destination for a fall pumpkin day. It's tucked into a suburban neighborhood, not very scenic, and the farm itself was quite littered with trash and debris. The baked goods were fresh but not very tasty. The staff were nice and they certainly had a good selection of mums, pumpkins, and other gourds, plus traditional, non-organic produce.

Love this place. The freshest veggies ever. Delicious donuts. Grandkids love them. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. Just a great family run old fashion style farm market. Great products and service
