Best Time to Visit

Apple season at Phillips Farms tracks the rest of New Jersey. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. The window most families aim for is the last two weeks of September into the first two of October, that's when Honeycrisp, Empire, and mid-season varieties usually overlap.

Fall festival weekends can double the crowd overnight, so it's worth checking the orchard's social feed the day before you go. Off-festival weekdays are typically wide open.

What to Bring

• Cash (backup for the farm stand)
• Closed-toe walking shoes
• A light jacket or flannel
• Sunscreen and a hat
• Water bottles for the walk
• Reusable bags for the ride home
• A camera or phone charged for photos
• Small bills for cider and donuts
