Emery's Farm — Restaurant in Plumsted Township

I cannot tell you if the blueberries are good because my four children and I were not allowed to pick them. We drove over an hour to Emery's Farm from Colonia, NJ. When we arrived we were greeted by two teenage boys behind a counter who very kindly said, "Are you here to pick blueberries? The buckets are over there, walk up the road and look for the signs that say U-Pick." With that, I did not see a white sign (approx. 18'' x18'') that stated there must be 1 adult to every two children. As my children and I walked up the road to the blueberry fields, the owner, who was about 20 feet from us and talking to another gentleman, calls out, "Is someone else going to meet you?" When I explained it was just myself and my children he very rudely said, "Didn't you see the HUGE white sign when you walked in?" When I said that I must not have because I was distracted by the greeting of the boys, he yells, "NEVER in my 7 years of owning this farm has anyone MISSED the HUGE white sign that states there must be one adult to every two children!" He was extremely rude and arrogant. He insulted me by saying that it's my fault I didn't check the website before I took the hour long ride to his farm. When I mentioned that a friend told me of the farm, he said that my friend should have told me about the rule. I asked him, "If I was a single mother with four children, I could not take my children blueberry..." he rudely interrupted with, "Of curse, if someone else was with you." He then began talking to the gentleman again. It was then I decided to ask if there was someone who could accompany us for a short time so that my children wouldn't be disappointed, but when I said, five times, "Excuse me, sir," he ignored me. Even the gentleman he was speaking to pointed towards me to let him know I was speaking to him, but he refused to turn to me and respond. He just completely ignored me. The two teenage boys apologized and were very kind. They felt bad for my crying five year old who was very disappointed that she could not pick blueberries. They displayed better manners than the owner. I am not complaining about the rule the owner has in place for his private farm. He has every right to make any rules he likes. However, I am complaining that he was extremely rude and did not handle the situation professionally or kindly. Especially in front of young children. I also think the owner should clarify what "child" means on his sign. Many places of business explain that a child is considered 12 years old or younger, etc. He does not. I will never return to Emery's Farm. Neither...

I enjoyed the 7 acre adult Clue Game corn maze and the 2 acre children's treasure hunt corn maze. The adult maze was moderate as far as corn mazes go, and I've experienced massive complex corn mazes in Wisconsin down to a one acre straight line corn maze in Alaska. The tractor ride didn't have any hay bales. It was a simple ride around the perimeter of the adult corn maze, but still fun enough for kids. Neither the website, Facebook not their voicemail posted prices. The adult corn maze is $6, the children's maze is $2 and the tractor ride is $4 per person regardless of age. There's a military discount, but it isn't much. We didn't visit the animals. The food options inside the store were extensive and everything looked so delicious. We limited ourselves to pumpkin donuts and a giant caramel apple cookie; they were delicious.

There was a really nice man that greeted us after we finished the adult maze. But the young short girl with dark hair at the register was very frustrating with poor customer service. She wasn't rude, but she was unintelligent and lazy. She struggled simply trying to figure out how many tickets to which attractions we wanted. She had the most confused expression on her face with a "duh" sounds in her voice. It was raining rather heavy out so nobody was at the ticket collection booths outside the mazes. After we finished the children's maze we were standing around the unmanned ticket booth at the entrance chatting. The register girl was inaudibly yelling do's and do not's at us from under the roof of the store about 200 feet away. We had to walk closer to her to find out that she was telling us to put down the ticket container and asking if we had purchased tickets yet. The same girl that sold us our tickets about 15 minutes earlier. Then she was asking us if we had the instructions and playing board for the Clue Game maze. I said,"No. Why didn't you tell us this information when I bought the tickets?" Her only response was, "I'm sorry, it's busy." It wasn't that busy because of the rain. Despite the rain, the farm was a nice experience except the register girl with poor...

Emery’s Farm is one of those rare places that makes you feel instantly at ease. From the moment you arrive, the scent of fresh-baked goods from their bakery wraps around you like a warm hug.
