The farm, north of the Somerset County border and south of Morristown along Route 202, is jammed on fall weekends when crowds in cars and busloads of children come from everywhere to pick or purchase pumpkins, go on hayrides, navigate the annual corn maze — or head out to pick their own apples.

This is the red barn in the main parking lot, which soon will be blocked with parked cars — and lots of them.

So enjoy this local preserved farm while it's less crowded.
