Farm Policies

Nowhere on the farm premises is smoking permitted.

We ask that no outside food be brought to the farm, and picnicking is not permitted. Reichler Park is located within minutes of the farm in South Brunswick, and Meadow Breeze Park is located within minutes of the farm in Washington. Both parks have picnic & play areas.

We do allow strollers, however in the picking fields, ALL bags, containers, baby strollers, etc. are subject to search by our staff.

Safety is our number one priority at Von Thun, and we adjust our hours, opening, and closing times accordingly for weather events. If there is a chance of rain, or it is misting, we will be open. If in doubt, call the farm before you leave home. If it is only wet, we will be open, but please take this into consideration when planning to visit us and dress accordingly.

Line Cutting: No line cutting on our event days. Please be courteous of other guests.

Profanity: Profanity and unruly behavior are offensive to our guests and may be cause for you being asked to leave without refund.

To maintain a family type atmosphere, we require that our guests be dressed in accordance with the standards set forth here. We are a family farm – please dress accordingly. Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times.

You are visiting a real farm. We recommend wearing clothing comfortable for walking. Use hats for sun protection. Pay particular attention to footwear. Chances are good you’ll get a bit dirty, so choose your shoes wisely.

We’ve done our best to provide smooth walkways for our visitors to walk on, but pathways can still be uneven or slippery, especially after a rain. All-terrain strollers or wagons for your kids work well, however they are not permitted in our picking fields. Wheelchairs are welcomed but users may experience difficulties accessing all areas of the farm. If you have any questions about our facilities, please contact us prior to your visit.
