I enjoy going to this on the weekends. Free parking. Lots of tables outside and fun stores inside. The most disappointing this is the Amish section is closed every Sunday. Has the best food and furniture. If you plan on shopping in the Amish section make sure you go on Saturday. Best doughnuts you'll ever have.

My son attended a party here with several friends in the earlier part of 2012. Since then they have returned a couple more times as a group and always come home with smiles.
3. Laurita Winery

*Please Note, there ARE applicable admission fees to our many festivals, but there is no fee on non-event days to come and enjoy the winery. Laurita Winery is a sustainable alternative, linked to the local area through tradition, culture and respect for its natural resources. Our estate grown wines are nature's purest expression of vineyard, varietal and vintage, reflecting old world traditions and the vision of wine's place at the table as a complement to food. To sip our wines, which make the case for elegance and finesse over size and power, is to savor the freshness of taste of grapes at their source. Located in the Outer Coastal Plain American Viticultural Area (AVA) in central New Jersey, the winery is committed to creating wines that derive as much character from the fruit as possible. As responsible stewards of the land, we devote ourselves to the intensive care of the vines and grapes when thinning and pruning, hand harvesting and processing. During the wine production stage, we are committed to preserving the fruit as the heart of the wine. Laurita, with its structure and interior built mostly from recycled or reclaimed materials, is also an eco destination. The skeleton of the building, which dictated the size of the winery which is 20,000 square feet, was formed through the merging of two 150 year old barns that had been destined for demolition. The winery utilizes solar systems to produce clean energy for heat, hot water, steam, cooling and refrigeration. The landscaping surrounding the winery emphasizes the value of water retention and conservation as does the method by which the vineyards are irrigated. Johnson and Shea have preserved and enhanced the existing natural environment with the intent of providing habitat for wildlife including birds, mammals and amphibians. The view from the winery and its gently graduating slopes of terraces, pergolas and wide lawns is one of 40 fully cultivated acres of neatly planted linear rows of vineyards and 200 acres of woodlands, meadows and pasture.

Nestled in the farmlands of NJ is a great winery perfect for day tripping and evening's out. Beautifully architected building overlooking the vineyard offered wonderful views inside and out. The tasting room was larger than most and the bar comfortably accommodated us with a small crowd. Great selection of wines to choose from. We tasted all the reds which were very good and each had a pleasing distinct flavor profile. For lunch we ordered paninis from their cafe which were delicious and ate in the great room with a big fireplace. Lots of events held here throughout the year and cannot wait to come back in the summer month's when the vineyard is in full bloom. Til our next visit...Cheers!

Visited Johnson Locust Hall Farm this past Saturday, had a GREAT time. This is a true working 300 year old farm. Staff was so friendly and informative. We were the first to arrive on Saturday and the attention they paid to my granddaughter was so nice. The women bringing the ponies to the pony corral stopped and let my granddaughter see them up close and pet them. Hayride was awesome, driver gave us background on the farm then took us to pick flowers and tomatoes first. Then we were off to the corn field to pick fresh sweet white Jersey corn (which was delicious). When we can back from the hayride, my granddaughter got to ride the small pony, Fancy. Was very impressed with the safety precautions taken. The gave my granddaughter an equestrian helmet for ride. We then headed to out to see the animals and feed them (goats, sheep, cows). They have a small play area for the children, a tractor to sit on, huge sandbox and slides. Beautiful pastures and views from the back of the barn. The barn is over 300 years old and beautiful.
I have been to the other Johnson Farm (Johnson Corner Farm in Medford), which is more commercialized and crowded. However, they do have a lot more play equipment for the kids. Locust Hall Farm is so peaceful and serene.
I would highly recommend Johnson Locust Hall Farm . Can’t wait to go back!

There is an amazing amount of items packed into this facility; lots to see and plenty to tempt.
The building itself is interesting, as is the nearby waterfall and landscape.
From a variety of glassware and China, to period furniture and linen, and to a multitude of options in between; there's a high probability one can find something to bring along home.
A great place to spend time browsing and enjoying.

Stopped into John and Molly's for Lunch. Was with a buddy for lunch. Our waitress Courtney was great. I asked her what the best thing they sold was. She said its all good but her favorites are the Ribs and Chicken Parm. I went with the Chicken Parm. Delicious. Thin cutlets sauce on a great roll. I substituted Onion Rings for fries and the were great to. They have loads of beer and since this was lunch during work we went with Non Alcoholic Beverages. My buddy had the Beef sandwich with Au Juice. really good also. Give it a shot glad we did.

The Sea Girt boardwalk has been rebuilt since Superstorm Sandy and is great for strolling and bicycling. Many of the beachfront homes are still being rebuilt. The beach itself has been replenished and dunes have been installed. Be sure to observe the flags by the lifeguard stands and bathe at the protected beaches. Beach tags are required during the summer season.

This historic site is a true gem of American History. The site was in private hands until 1985 when Monmouth County took it in hand. The grounds are nice. The house dates back to approximately 1773. The 'new' grist mill was reconstructed after a fire in 1873. It runs with all the pulleys, gears, stones and noises working just fine.
9. Roebling Museum

Like Batsto,NJ and even more so Smithville Park,NJ - Roebling can be added to a "must see" list for New Jersey history lovers.
1.2-square-mile town was created in the very beginning of 20th century completely from scratch by the company of a well known industrialist and architect John A. Roebling who emigrated to the United States in 1831 from Prussia. He and later also his sons constructed numerous bridges including Brooklyn Bridge, Niagara Falls, Washington Bridge and Golden Gate. Those were wire rope suspension bridges with Roebling-made wire cables. The museum exhibits explain the technology and design.
The plant no longer exists but the town still does.
Roebling Museum features informational movie and interesting exhibits showing the life of Roebling Family, the history of the plant, the engineering achievements of Roeblings. The tickets are $6 for adults. After visiting the museum one should go on a walking tour of Roebling. There are maps by the entrance door of the museum. I understand that sometimes the guided walking tours are offered but not on the August Saturday when our visit took place.
If you cannot walk through this interesting town it is even easier to drive following the map.
