PRODUCE, FLOWERS & FUN
Fairfield Farms has been a family-owned and operated farm for almost 100 years. It consists of a 20-acre tract of land on the border of Essex and Passaic Counties. Originally a 35-acre tract of land devoted to growing vegetables, 20 acres remain today and host eight greenhouses, which produce countless beautiful flowers in the springtime.
In the summer, we offer a wide variety of Jersey-fresh produce. In the fall, we offer our family fall festival attractions. Interested in seeing our schedule? Check out our Seasonal Offerings and visit this site often to learn about the latest offerings and events.

FAMOUSLY FRESH PRODUCE
Fairfield Farms is the only remaining farm tract in a town that once had more than a dozen farms producing different kinds of vegetables, from horseradish and rhubarb to broccoli and cauliflower. For nearly 25 years, from 1975 to 1999, Fairfield Farms operated a large produce market on the farm and transported their produce to five additional farmers’ markets in and around northern New Jersey.
In 1999, the market house and 12 greenhouses moved to another part of the farm. For 10 years, the emphasis shifted to growing flowers in the spring and summer and agritourism during September and October. In 2010, we opened a produce market at the Big Piece Rd. location. Since then, we have become famous for selling the sweetest corn and tastiest Jersey tomatoes and peaches "on the planet".
SEASONAL PRODUCE
The typical fresh produce available from Fairfield Farms includes:
- Jersey-fresh Supersweet Bi-Color Corn
- White Corn (undeniably the "best corn on the planet.")
- Jersey tomatoes
- Jersey peaches
- Jersey-fresh zucchini
- Eggplant
- Cucumbers
- Sugar baby watermelon
- Yellow baby watermelon
- Other Jersey-fresh vegetables
Want to know what we have in stock? We sell our produce fresh and seasonally, so give us a call for more information.
