Time to go pumpkin picking! We go to a farm in Montville. they have a decent variety, great cider AND you get your own wheelbarrow. What more could you ask for?
Take exit 47 off of Rt 287 and follow the pumpkin signs. This of course only applies in late September til the End of October;)

Local Customs: Weird NJ

Weird NJ is a magazine, and now a book, chronicling the strange and "weird" places, people and things that are located in our little state. The Stone Living Room (mentioned in one of my "off the beaten path" tips) is one of the things mentioned in the magazine and it's on the website. Other stories include weird abandoned places, ghostly events, the Jersey Devil, and don't forget UFO's. It may dramatize things a bit, make them "weirder" than they actually are, but it's fun, pick one up on your next visit!

When you are on the beach at the Jersey Shore you will definately see these guys fly by. Low flying airplanes towing large banner ads for local bars, restaurants, sometimes even for major brands of soda or beer,anything really, you name it, will pass by many times during the day. Everytime I see them it brings me back to my childhood. Walking on the beach in Wildwood collecting shells, hearing the buzz of a plane and looking up, squinting into the sky and trying to figure out what the banner was advertising. They always make me smile.

Local Customs: Smokey the Bear

Smokey is more of a nationally known character than just a statewide friend. He is pretty famous, starring in commercials to promote forest fire awareness. "Only you can prevent wildfires" is his motto. For as long as I can remember he has been gracing our state and national parks with his presence, letting us know the fire conditions for the day. Low, Medium and High are the levels to look for.
Check out his website to learn more about caring for our forests.

Stop for some produce at a roadside stand! Now you won't find Roadside stands all over New Jersey. Certainly, they are not terribly common in the cities and very densely populated areas of the state. You will find them in the Northwest and in some southern sections. The one pictured was actually down the shore. Believe it or not, New Jersey (tiny state that it is) is actually fairly well known for some of it's produce. Jersey corn, Jersey tomatoes (note the sign in the picture) cranberries and blueberries are some of the states notable fruits and veggies. Last I checked, New Jersey was one of the top producing states for Blueberries (you thought it was just Maine!) So if you are in an area of New Jersey that has some farmland, keep an eye out for a roadside stand and pick up some fresh tasty treats.

I really enjoyed your NJ page. I grew up in Old Bridge, but now only visit once a year. I have never been to these off the beaten trek places. I am ready to explore next time I am in town! thanks | jo104 Thu Oct 9, 2008 09:12 UTC
Hi Amy, I stayed with a friend of a friend in Jersey City & found it to be close to the city, pleasent & of course far cheaper!! | toonsarah Sun Jul 27, 2008 20:10 UTC
Really helpful page Amy. We're trying to decide where to stop over between Cape May and Newark in Sept and you've given me some excellent ideas. | BillNJ Sat Mar 22, 2008 19:52 UTC
Great page on New Jersey! As a fellow resident of the Garden State, I can certainly appreciate your tips and photos. I especially like the photo of the billboard advertising Tom Jones in Atlantic City. Best regards from NJ, Bill |
