Every fall, I make it a point to visit A. Casola Farms in Holmdel, and honestly, it’s one of my absolute favorites. The moment you step onto the property, you feel that unmistakable fall vibe — the crisp air, the smell of cider and hay, and the cozy atmosphere that makes you slow down and enjoy the season. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why New Jersey is one of the best spots in the country for autumn.
Their Fall Fest kicks off September 13th and runs through October 31st, offering something for everyone:
🎃 Pumpkin Picking — Find the perfect pumpkin in their fields, whether you’re carving or decorating.
🚜 Hayrides — Take in the views and enjoy that classic farm feeling.
🐐 Petting Zoo & Animal Encounters — Say hello to friendly goats, pigs, and chickens.
🎨 Face Painting & Family Activities — Perfect for kids (and the young at heart).
⛏️ Gold Mining Adventure — Try their new attraction and discover gems, fossils, and treasures.
🍩 Apple Cider Donuts — The highlight for me every year. Warm, fresh, and absolutely addictive.
Their food court and kitchen are also open, serving everything from homemade pies and sandwiches to fall treats that smell as good as they taste.
If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, head to A. Casola Farms — it’s the perfect mix of tradition, family fun, and small-town charm.
