Beloved pick-your-own strawberry, peach, and apple farm with a bakery selling renowned cider donuts
Johnson's Corner Farm in Medford, New Jersey, is one of the most celebrated working farms in Burlington County and among the most visited agricultural destinations in southern New Jersey. The farm operates as a genuine working operation while welcoming the public to participate directly in a rotating series of harvests across the warmer months: strawberries from late May through June, blueberries in July, peaches and nectarines through August, and apples, corn, and pumpkins from September through October.
The on-site market barn sells farm-fresh produce, homemade jams and preserves, and a range of seasonal baked goods. The bakery counter is the farm's most iconic draw — freshly fried apple cider donuts have become a regional institution, drawing visitors from across Burlington County and beyond. On busy autumn weekends, lines for the donuts form quickly and the counter often sells out by early afternoon, making a morning arrival advisable for first-timers.
Pick-your-own access is available during designated harvest windows, with containers provided and pricing set by weight at the barn. The fields are spread across manageable acreage that families with young children can navigate comfortably. Seasonal hayrides and pumpkin-selection activities are added in September and October, transforming the farm into a popular autumn family destination during New Jersey's foliage season.
The farm is located along Monroeville Road on the edge of Medford township, roughly 20 miles east of Philadelphia and 30 miles south of Trenton. Ample on-site parking is available at no charge, and the visit is entirely self-guided — visitors collect picking containers at the barn and proceed to whichever field is open for the current crop. Staff weigh and ring up produce at the barn exit. A farm market stop and cider donut purchase takes 30 to 45 minutes; a pick-your-own session adds another 45 to 90 minutes.

When to visit
Autumn — September through October — is the peak season for hayrides, pumpkin selection, and the widest range of apple cider products. Early June is ideal for the strawberry harvest, typically with smaller crowds than the autumn rush.
Accessibility
The farm market barn and parking areas sit on paved or compacted surfaces accessible for most visitors. Pick-your-own fields have unpaved, uneven terrain that may present challenges for wheelchair users, particularly after rainfall.
