A
visitor writes on October 11, 2010: "We went to Sussex County
Strawberry Farm and it was really nice. great prices on things, we
got apple pies, fresh apple cider, and picked a bunch of pumpkins.
They had a free hay ride. It was still a very fun place for the
smaller kids. They even have a kiddy playground. It was worth the
trip, only 20 min from us. "
