Frolic Through Fields Of Flowers And Fruit In New Jersey At Happy Day Farm’s Summer Festivities

The weather is getting warm, the flowers are in full bloom, and that means it's the perfect time to go down on the farm! You don't need to leave the state for more rural quarters, either - New Jersey has some amazing farms that are open to the public, and one that many people don't know about is Happy Day Farm in Manalapan Township. This rustic farm is like a never-ending flower festival in New Jersey during the summer, as not one, not two, but five key crops are at full strength during this season! The farm is open for those who want to pick their own flowers and fruit, but that's not the only attraction. This charming farm has desserts waiting for you, and friendly farm animals excited to meet you. It's the perfect summer destination for kids - and those who never quite lost that childhood joy that can only be found in summer.

Happy Day Farm is one of the top farms to visit in New Jersey, because of just how many things there are to do on the grounds.

The top attraction is the U-Pick fields, which are so busy in summer! There are four different activities over the weeks.

It starts with lavender picking in late spring and early summer. The season is still going, but the days are ticking down!

But don't fear - Raspberry season is also in full swing, and these berries are delicious!

Blueberry season is about to begin, and these make for incredible pies - or just snacking from the box!

Summer's crown jewel, though, has to be the massive fields of sunflowers that will be open as of the end of June.

Walking the fields will work up a mighty thirst, so partake in the lemonade and shaved ices available on the grounds!

There are other activities as well - kids can feed the goats and chickens, and a paintball gallery is open on the weekends.
