Thursday, May 5, 2022: Earlier in the day, I had been to the Trenton Farmers’ Market, and I noticed that many of the vendors owned local New Jersey farms. Later that day, I visited one of those farms: Terhune Orchards, 330 Cold Soil Road, Lawrence Township (609-924-2310). While I mainly stopped here to browse and buy a few things in their farm store, this place included more than a farm store. During different times of the year, Terhune Orchards offered special family events in the quest to introduce people to farm life, especially children. After being in the store, I walked through the rest of the farm, and I noticed a play area for children where they could play at being farmers and ride child-sized “tractors.” Other activities included looking at the farm animals, a garden, and a winery, as well as green houses and of course, orchards. One of the favorite activities here included picking produce in season. Meanwhile, the farm store sold many kinds of produce, baked goods, and apple cider, as well as wines, jarred and packaged foods, and flowers and plants. Overall, you could find your time here pleasant and educational!
