Abma’s Farm Market and Nursery

a great place to bring kids.
has small farm, and petting zoo that are free!
then you can buy fresh baked pies. they really make them there, you can smell them cooking (awesome!)

I worked here for a number of years and had a wonderful time getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Abma. Working at Abma’s was probably one of the best jobs a kid could have growing up in an area like Wyckoff — it was fun, and I did something new almost every day. Though I couldn’t quite nail down what my role was, as it involved anything from cleaning dishes, to preparing the meats, to making sure the store was always stocked, I wouldn’t trade my experience here for anything. Though I haven’t worked here in a couple years, I still have many friends from Abma’s, which speaks to the type of people they employ.
Moving on, as a business I similarly can’t say enough positive things about Abma’s. The petting zoo is awesome for children, as are the hay rides and pumpkin patches. Though in the petting zoo there are a few goats that escape from time to time, it only adds to the enjoyment watching an employee chase it back in. In recent times there have been new traditions made, like Farm Day, strawberry picking, and other events the Abma family hosts.
As for the produce, I’ve never had much better. Everything they grow in the fields is absolutely fresh and delicious. I’ve never seen purple «green“beans or white peppers anywhere else. Furthermore, the orange juice is absolutely delicious, the bakery items are must-​haves, and the deli is to die for.
Since it’s a chicken farm, I can’t leave out the eggs either. Fresh picked every morning (I should know) and brought to the store. They are absolutely delicious, and run from larges to jumbos (if you get there early enough). You can’t do much better than that.
Overall, Abma’s holds a very special place in my heart. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend you visit this great place for a little bit.

Our family enjoyed visiting Adma’s on Saturday. The kids in particular liked the pony rides, petting zoo and taking a hayride to the pumpkin patch.
We liked the general store, there are a lot of home made speciality foods. I recommend the apple cider and fresh doughtnuts.

Lovely farm! Great for families, couples and friends. One of my girlfriends and I purchased a Groupon for a wine tasting at Tomasello’s winery. The Abma farm is one of their 7 locations. With the Groupon we received a wine tote, two bottles of wine, two wine glasses with the Tomasello Winery engraving and 5 wine tastings each. We tried each other’s wines so it was like getting 10 wine tastings. The farm is gorgeous and vast. They sell their fresh produce in a supermarket, which is quite big with a wide variety of products including eggs, honey, quiches, deli meats, baked good and souvenirs. There is outdoor seating right next to the supermarket if you purchase food from the deli located inside the supermarket. Parking is easy and they offer ample parking spaces.
The wine connoisseur that conducted our wine tasting made sure to have us sample wines that we tailored to our individual tastes. It’s no wonder they are still in business after over 78 years. My friend and I plan on returning to this location and their other 6 locations, bringing more friends to join us. This particular wine tasting did not have seating and was located within the supermarket, but the Tomasello wine company has 7 locations, some of which are dedicated solely to wine, so I’m sure they have seating at their other locations. I can’t wait until October comes so we can go pumpkin picking on the farm. There is also a petting zoo, which is great for the kids.

A wonderful day. Visited there on an early Saturday afternoon. Drove in from the Bronx. Took about 45 mins. Upon entering there is a large nursery. The nursery contained tons of flowers and plants. A good selection with a helpful staff. You drive up a little hill to the small petting zoo and market. The market was great with a wide variety of things for sale, ranging from fresh fruit, veggies, eggs, cheeses, meat, to bakery items such as pies, cookies and muffins. We bought some fruit, veggies and cookies which were all fresh and delicious. Reasonable prices for farm fresh produce. Before heading to the petting area, make sure you grab some carrots as the rabbits eat the carrot tops and crackers for the rest of the animals (goats, sheep and cows). Staff was very helpful and super friendly. The petting area had rabbits, cows, goats, sheep, and chickens. They also offer pony rides for a price. Though the «farm» area is small, the visit was great. Our little guys loved feeding the animals, the Mrs. loved the nursery and I love cookies… win, win win!!! Besides that the experience is free, unless you want to factor in the 4/​$ 1.00 crackers to feed the animals.

Awesome family-​run farm!
In a world full of big industries, this quaint farm stands out in Bergen County like a diamond in the rough.
The petting zoo is adorable. The fresh vegetables in the store are beyond quality– you will never find anything as good in stop&shop or other grocery stores. I love that I can come here hungry; I pick up a healthy lunch and buy my groceries at the same time.
I just started going to the gym right across the street, so this is a perfect place to come right after I workout to pick up healthy fruits and vegetables. I pick up eggs every time; it’s so great knowing the eggs come from here as opposed to shipped in from another state.
They also have a winery in the market, which blows my mind! One stop shop for sure. Nadine runs the winery, she’s incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.
They always seem to have stuff going on for kids, which is great. Will definitely keep in mind for the future when I’m married! I’ve been here in the fall for pumpkin picking and always have a good time.
All in all, it’s a great establishment. Abma’s Farm is something you don’t see anymore in this day and age. Very hardworking and courteous employees!

The chicken breast is great, the produce is fresh and the animals are a hit with the kids. I go out of my way to buy my chicken at Abmas and I don’t mind paying a premium for it. Today i purchased a pre-​made chicken salad sandwich and found a 12″ long brown hair in it. Its not mine (I’m bald). Hair nets please, nothing grosser than finding someone’s hair in your food.

I love this farm market. The veggies are always great, prices good, and so it the service. I like to support local farms and this is one I would definitely like to see stay open.

visited this small farm off rt 208 in Wyckoff yesterday. Really a perfect way to kill an hour or more with my 3 year old. Petting zoo had a nice amount of your normal farm characters — sheep, goats, ponies, donkeys, horses, cows, rams etc, and feed dispensers for a quarter. also there were large cages that had a huge wild turkey, and chickens, roosters etc. also had cages with the largest, most friendly bunnies I have ever seen. my little guy loved feeding all the animals. the market was cozy and interesting. they had a wine tasting with many varieties from their winery in Hammonton nj (outside A.C.) and we wound up buying a nice Cabernet and a Riesling at fair prices. Prices on other items ranged from ridiculously expensive (cheeses for example were off the chart high) to very reasonable (baked goods). Mom raved about the quiche she bought. our donuts and cider were yummy. all in all we will definitely return. and the people working there were incredibly friendly.

This place is a Bergen County hot spot for fresh poultry and baked goods. They provide very good quality and good service. It does get crazy around the holidays but it definitely worth it.

Abma’s farm is an adorable little place with a small petting zoo and marketplace. It’s got a cute country feel that will warm your heart.
It’s a tradition for me to come here in the fall because they have a nice pumpkin patch to pick from, and they sell hot apple cider and autumny soups inside. They also do hayrides but I haven’t been on one since I was a little kid.
Their petting zoo is small, but seemed amazing to me when I was younger. There’s different kinds of chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats & sheep, pigs and donkeys. My favorite part is their chick hut where you can peek through some panes of glass and see tons of adorable yellow baby chicks!
Their marketplace is warm and homey. They sell home grown produce, pies and pastries, their own brand of salsas and dips. The little room in the back has candles, country-​style tchotskes and signs, stuffed animals etc. The last time I went I was pleasantly surprised to see their new wine tasting bar featuring a local NJ winery.
The only thing I don’t like is there’s no picnic tables to sit down and eat. They have tons of awesome ready-​to-​eat foods like salads, wraps and soups… but there’s no where to sit down and eat them! I usually end up plopping down on a bale of hay to enjoy my soup but it’s a tad uncomfortable.
All in all, Abma’s is a great place to bring your kids to check out the petting zoo, or to just shop for local produce and the like.

Celebrated my son’s 5^th birthday at Abma’s this past Saturday. He and his friends went on a hayride and got to pick out their own pumpkins. The staff were incredibly friendly and made it one of the best birthday parties that we’ve had so far. They received cowboy hats and bandanas before they went on the hayride. They have parking specifically for the party guests and there are signs and parking attendants who help you find it without any hassle. Really a great experience. The cupcakes for the party are made onsite and as you walk to the tent for the party you can smell all of the amazing baked goods being prepared. As the party ended, we walked down to see the animals. We really just couldn’t have been more pleased with how his birthday turned out.

Great great place. My son is three and too much action stresses him out this place is perfect ! Spacious and concise at the same time. We went to pick pumpkins and had a ball. I have heard of farms charging by the pound but this place has set very reasonable prices and they go by size not pounds. Parked in the lot and took the hayride which is very nice and comfy through the farm to the patch where we picked pumpkins. We had a great time many kids and family’s were there. After we took the hayride back to the parking lot and drove the car to the market. (Suggested) Directly across the market is a nice petting zoo with large animals that you can feed. Again not too much. The market is always awesome we got soup, fresh grilled corn and fresh from the oven cider donuts ! So if your looking for. Kid friendly local farm to visit… Enjoy !

My daughter and I had a blast there on Columbus Day for our Daddy/​Daughter Day while mom was at work. It was nice and clean, quick and to the point. No waiting on lines or bustling people everywhere. Not expensive at all as well.

My family and I went specifically to Abma’s for the petting zoo. Abma’s has a nice petting zoo with sheep, rabbits, cows, goats, chicks, and pony rides. The staff is friendly and they have a fresh market. We will definitely go back to Abma’s Farm Market and Greenhouse.

I absolutely loved Abma’s farm, until I bought a pie and almost poisoned my guests. Normally I would give an outstanding review for this place for it’s fresh produce and farm attraction, but after this event I am never going to buy dessert from this establishment.

Small, cute farm with a petting zoo.
Produce prices are expensive compared to other Bergen County farms. Ready to go one person serving size of pasta was marked at $ 12. Non-​perishable goods like toys (a small tube with 10 plastic animals would cost you $ 10) were pricey as well.
Maybe they also have a problem with theft given that every place I turn within the store I was greeted with laminated signs which repeatedly informed me that security cameras were in use.
If I had children with me, I would probably appreciate Abma’s a little more.

I recall going to Abma Farm as a young child to enjoy the fall season and pick some pumpkins, and now in my 20’s the experience at Abma hasn’t changed! Although the parking lot and the petting zoo were slightly hectic on a Saturday morning, the crowd did not dampen the fun. We stopped by the petting zoo area to admire the cuteness of pigs, cows, ponies, baby goats, and chickens! Despite being an «adult» this was a nice surprise. I also cannot express how great it is to grab a hot cider and munch on a cider and sugar doughnut while preparing for the hay ride!
Although the pumpkin patch is not huge, there is a variety of pumpkin sizes with proportional prices. These options can make a day at Abma a relatively cheap experience as well. I believe between the hayride, a small pumpkin, cider, and a doughnut I spent only $ 10 – 15 dollars (of course this number will depend on the size/​number of pumpkins you buy).
Going to Abma Farm in October will meet all of your Fall seasonal needs perfectly!

for farming, and pony rides this place is probably fine, because otherwise I don’t get these great reviews…
We had the most incredibly frustrating experience at this place last Saturday.
My brother and his wife booked the farm for their baby’s 1^st birthday, weeks in advance, and were promised a 3-​hour time frame (12noon to 3pm).
Not only they double-​booked (human error, we get it!) they were extremely rude and unprofessional about it.
The female owner called my sister-​in-​law, literally minutes before the beginning of our party, to tell her «she was late» and «she better make it soon».
When my sister in law replied that she had the space until 3pm, the owner yelled at her (I bare witness) and told her she was «wrong» and to «better make it soon», because «we have another party at 2pm».
Arriving guests were treated to the same speech about how they were all late, even though they were not. How embarrassing…
When we arrived there, a very disheveled and drunk looking guy, tried to start a fight with my very diplomatic brother for no apparent reason in front of friends and family.
Needless to say, we left the farm with about a 1000 $ worth of party supplies, favors, food, custom-​made cake, etc.
I know people can’t be really annoying, and that dealing with the general public can be stroke-​inducing, but my brother and his wife are the nicest people on earth.
The whole ordeal left us reeling, and wondering how people can run a business this way.
All they needed to do was apologize for the misunderstanding and try to fix the situation.
They were so rude to us I felt I was in some sort of a candid camera episode.

Cute farm with a petting zoo, greenhouses and a great farmer’s market. My nieces & nephews had great fun feeding all the animals and they were mostly friendly.
The farmer’s market is laden with great finds. The kiddos really enjoyed slurping the cream of broccoli soup and they fought over the pears because they were so juicy and fresh. The turkey and cheese sandwich was okay, but nothing I would buy again. Their fresh egg salad tastes really good. We also purchased a half lb. of the Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad and slathered it on the fresh semolina rolls for sale — great combo! Freshness does come at a price though — our lunch (plus some of the fresh eggs that were on sale at $ 0.25 a piece) rang us up to almost $ 40.
They don’t have an option to do pick-​your-​own fruits so that definitely shortens the visit’s duration, but there’s a lot to see and the folks are really nice about giving you answers if you have a question.
