Kids (and moms and dads, too) love to visit our petting zoo, pet the sheep or cow, feed carrot greens to the rabbits, see our baby chicks, fancy birds, goats, ponies, donkey, calf and pigs.
Our 30-acre farm dates back to the 1790s. The homestead and out-buildings have been well-preserved, kept in their original state, and the Dutch-style barn, one of the few 200-year-old barns still standing in Bergen County, converted into a thriving retail market with a “scratch” bakery and a gourmet kitchen.
The best place to go as a family or simply to get the best natural produce in Northern NJ. The market is amazing! And the petting zoo is so cute. Don’t forget the cider donuts! I respect Abma’s so much for the good they do to the community.
Cub Scouts get taken for a ride by Abma’s Farm? Allendale Cub Scout Pack 252 reserved a “Daytime Hayride” at ABMA’S FARM for mid-October and gave a deposit of $100. Unfortunately, due to schedule conflicts, they needed to cancel the reservation. They contacted Abma’s Farm in late September to notify them and requested the $100 deposit be converted into a store credit. They spoke to a store employee as well as the store manager and they refused to give Pack 252 a store credit and continued to indicate that the $100 deposit was non-refundable. A letter was sent to Jim Abma(the owner) to appeal to him to give the pack a store credit. In response to the letter, Pam Abma telephoned the packmaster to indicate the $100 deposit was non-refundable and refused to give Pack 252 a store credit. I understand every business has its policies and would lose money if people canceled events and expected their money back. However, with ample notice, of about two weeks. something could have been worked out. Abmas could have said, find a replacement. At least they would have been trying to work with the Cub Scouts. I think the idea of a store credit is a good one also. Remember the Cub Scouts is a organization that runs its own fund raisers to gain money for activities. Taking $100 out of the kids hands is a big dent for them. Businesses that rely on local support should understand what the ramifications of thier decsions are. Does Abmas?
Terriffic selelection of unusual plants – perennial heaven! Nice shopping there and at the Market up the hill!
this place looks nice on the outside but once you find out the real details it is disgusting
