Dreyer Farms

Whether you’re in the market for plants, pies, produce, or artisan jams — this is a must try! Their prices are great and their products are high quality. Staff is friendly, knowledgable, and passionate about their jobs and work. A place you leave and feel uplifted and excited to enjoy whatever it is your brought home with you that day!

4 Star for Christmas tree… you shop flr your tree and one of the men who works there can follow you if you want while you’re looking around for a tree so they can answer tour question. Once you’re ready, tell them which tree you want, tell them what kund of stand you have ar home, how far you want the tree cut, where you park, how you are going to load the tree whether on the roof or inside your suv, what car you are driving. Pay for the tree inside and get a pie while you’re inside… when you go out, the guy is waiting for you by the car. Thank you John… I paid $ 89 for a Frazier Fir, give them a nice tip for doing all the work.

I love a local farm and the cider donuts are great, I just wish (so much) they were Organic.

Good donuts, fresh produce, sufficient parking lot. Prices aren’t super crazy and about what you’d expect from a local market. Went on a Saturday afternoon they were all out of pies!

Dreyer Farms has renovated their storefront and expanded their parking lot. They now carry gourmet food items in addition to their own produce, fruit preserves, pickled vegetables, and pasta sauces, including organic chocolate-​flavored, homogenized, and non-​homogenized milk from a local dairy (in old-​fashioned glass bottles), locally-​produced artisan cheeses, organic eggs, Amish butter, frozen pot pies and entrées, a daily selection of breads and rolls from Breadsmith, olive olis from Patricia & Paul’s in Westfield, and wines from a local NJ winery.
Prices are not too bad. The chocolate milk is $ 4.50 for ½ gallon. Plus, you’ll get a $ 1.50 refund if you return the bottle. The exact same product, sold by the farmer at his kiosk at the Summit Farmers Market on Sundays, is $ 7.50.
Dreyers also participates in the CSA (community supported agriculture) program. As a member, they provide you with a «gift box» of in-​seson produce once a week, May through November. CSA members pay for an entire season of produce upfront, which aids the farmers. You have a choice of sizes, small to large, and the package also includes recipes, depending on what’s included in the box. Boxes usually include 7 – 10 types of vegetables. In addition to vegetables, you can add fruit, eggs, meat, and even flowers to your subscription.

I can’t believe how many differ types of flowers they have ! Any garden plant, flower, fruit you need ! Everything I ever wanted & more. It’s like a secret garden in real life ! I’ll definitely be back in the near future.

This place is so amazing. It has a parking lot on premises (if you can find parking, it was pretty packed when we got there).
There is a huge nursery with fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers to buy for your garden or home. It’s a little pricier than other spots I’ve seen but their plants looked like they were in great shape.
Also on premises is a little farmer’s markets to get produce, fresh baked pies, and more. I could’ve spent all day here. It’s beautiful.
Definitely check this place out if you’re nearby.

I recently moved to Cedar Grove and Battenkill Valley’s milk was my reason to visit Dreyer Farms. And certainly every farm has their own stuff to sell, I bought an apple pie out of curiosity. Oh man, the pie is heavy so does the price. However, it is THE BEST OF THE BEST apple pie I’ve ever had. I don’t know about other product they sell but my 5 stars is for the apple pie (well, it doesn’t mean they have bad service, it’s just my purpose was very simple not much of service required. And staffs were friendly enough). The crust tastes good, and I don’t care it is «supposed» to be crust or chewy or whatever, as long as it tastes good, and the pie they use a good amount of apple; flavorful and not too sweet, majority is apple’s flavor. $ 13.95 for a pie is bit overpriced. I went back after 2 weeks bought another apple pie for a friend’s mom, it was Mother’s day, and a lemon buckle blueberry pie. So far, everyone LOVES their apple pie. No doubt that I will go back to buy more pies and other vegies from them.

I remember as a child going to Dreyers to get our Christmas tree every year, plants in the spring etc. I recently moved back into the area as an adult and I decided to check it out after my father told me they had expanded and have more to offer. I can’t deny, I was thoroughly impressed. I can’t believe the selection of flowers and plants as well as the fresh baked goods and light groceries they have there! I picked up their peanut butter and strawberry preserves, a pie, donuts, bread and milk… I can’t believe how tasty everything is! I haven’t tried the pie or bread yet as its for a party but I am sure it’s as delicious as it looks! Hands down… amazing! I will be returning on a regular basis!

Went this past weekend to buy plants for mother’s grave, and once again they ripped me off. Geraniums are $ 4.95 a pot or 12 pots for $ 54, which is why I buy 24. Too many graves to buy for. Now I have to go back for my refund, I love that they’re so nonchalant about my time. Thanks for screwing up my Saturday. Last year i bought a holly bush from them, the guy helping me yelled over to ask the price — $ 135. I took it home and as I was putting it in the ground, I found the price tag — $ 85. It’s weird that they never undercharge. I only bought my geraniums there because my mom is around the corner at Fairview. I’ve lived one town over my entire life and this place has become a real joke over the last ten years.
Now onto customer service. Went there to buy my Yule tree this past December and either the man helping me was a jerk or had a mental disorder. In the span of 15 minutes he must have told me that I needed to put the tree in water as soon as I got home about 40 times. I was starting to get nervous that there was something wrong with the tree that they would blame on me because I didn’t put it in water as soon as I got home. Anyone who has ever bought plants there knows how much this place LOVES to water their plants. Great way to get repeat business is to have the plants and roots rotting in water-​logged dirt.
You want a local, family business then go to Amberg Perennial Nursery. The selection is smaller but the service is 1000% better than Dreyer and their parking lot is easily four times the size of Dreyer. Added bonus, at Amberg they’re helpful and polite with no one barking at you and the vegetable plants are cheaper.

The epitome of local, family operated business at it’s best.

Joined the CSA this year in an attempt to eat more greens and more organic. I understand why people rave about this but in the end I don’t think it was for me and my family. Even the small box was too much greens. We couldn’t eat the fruit fast enough before it went bad, but it was all incredibly tasty. I would do it again if there were options to sub out on certain types of greens and/​or be able to choose some other items like eggs, milk, bread, etc. I would even be willing to pay more to have the option. The pies got rave reviews at thanksgiving dinner!

Clearly the best produce and the best of products and service. You can count on top quality whether it is a Christmas Wreath, pumpkin, the very best corn and tomatoes and the apples to die for. Service with a smile from a real family run operation three generations running. Love Dreyer Frarms!

I joined the CSA at Dreyers. Picked up my first box today and was pleasantly surprised. Not only did I receive some great local produce
box also had a spice mix and a log of goat cheese. The CSA option that I chose was 20 bucks a week for 28 weeks. If this first week is any indication, it’s well worth every penny. Plus you also receive a binder that has recipes and tips on getting the most out of your produce.

After spending hundreds of dollars at Dreyer’s Farm last year on a 15 foot tree and 7 bushes, some of what I purchased did not come back this year. No other plants or bushes on my property died, even given that this was a «bad winter.» When I repectfully tried to discuss this with the staff there, I was told «it was a bad winter» and «we are not reponsible for what we sell when it is on your property.» Although I understand that legally this may be true, after 40 years of stopping there to buy plants, fruits and vegetables, etc., I think I deserved more courtesy than being brushed off with what I was told: «We cannot help you – have a nice day.» Their concern for loyal customers is poor, at best, and not worthy of any more of my business. Even Home Depot in Garwood makes good on dead bushes!

Delightful little roadside farm stand/​operating farm/​garden center. It’s a joy to have a place like this not to far away from our home, and not have to drive to a larger farm either south or west of our town of Cranford, as well as having to wait for our local farmers markets that operate once weekly. Very nice selection of seasonal fruits and vegs, but there are some items that aren’t locally sourced, like seedless grapes and avocados. Pricing is competitive to local supermarkets, and the quality is MUCH better. I am looking forward to bringing my son to tour the farm soon!

This is our go-​to spot for grabbing garden supplies and for getting various strains of corn so fresh and sweet in the summer that you can eat them raw. I also love the variety of self raised and locally sourced vegetables and fruits. I gave them an extra star for saving me an hour drive South or West in order to get farm raised veggies and fruit from the source. There’s a clear difference in taste as compared to what you get at the supermarkets.
Please support your local NJ area farmers by shopping at places like Dreyer’s. This isn’t just tree hugging hype, pay them a visit and see for yourself! If you live close enough, you will find yourself returning here over and over again.

Great little farm stand. They sell fresh vegetables, honey etc. in the stand and there’s a pretty large selection of nursery plants in the back.

Dreyer is a nursery, a farm and a farm stand. In the summer I try to leave the office early enough to get there before they close. It helps me to figure out what’s for dinner. I love their old school cash register.
We sort of start off our spring/​summer looking out for the strawberry sign to go up and then it’s just a none stop strawberry fest until father’ day. After the strawberries are done we redirect our attention to the corn until Labor Day. Apples and Apple Cider galor till Thanksgiving. Plenty of other stuff make my mouth water too, peaches, cherries, figs, watermellon, spinach, tomatoes, radishes and lots more. I have also bought eggs, peach cider, mozarella cheese and bread from them and was very happy with the quality. I love pulling into that gravel parking lot. BTW, we buy our perennials and annuals there too but that’s my husband’s department.

Almost a farm but not quite. You gotta love the distribution and logistic system.
Dreyer Farms sells fresh produce from the Garden State local farmers. While it’s still good, but not the best. The best is always directly from your local farmers freshly picked the night before or in the morning.
Vegetables and fruits all gain their nutritions and flavor from the ground and the sunlight absorbed through the leaves. From as young as I could remember my parent’s always had a vegetable garden. Their fruits, vegetables, and herbs had the most amazing flavors. I could recall my parents complaining how bad the the super market vegetables tasted, and can you blame them?
We have advanced ourselves through the logistics and transportation that we can ship vegetables from all over the world. But in order to survive through the transit we pick them before they are ready to be eaten. By the time they arrive to the super market they are ready to cook and eat. But unfortunately they haven’t had the time to absorb all the nutrition from the sun and soil, thus they lack in flavor.
While I would love to go to all my farmers to buy my produce, but lets be realistic: the timing, location, and flexibility don’t always go my way. But thanks to these establishments it makes it easier, and I hope people do support their local growers, and take advantage of how much better a local farmer’s produce is vs. some place in the midwest or the south.
