★★★★★Matthew CunninghamMy name is nevea Cunningham, and we was just recently there on Thursday morning, and we ended our day off with And we ended our day off with Friday night. Hard barking farm is the greatest farm. I know we have cowboys and even goats and sheep. We did have chickens but the fox ate them. It isn't a lot of hiking to do. My legs was tired. I'm in fifth grade, by the way, all the staff members. Our great we ate pizza sandwiches, chips juices and we also got to wash dishes. If you go to hard bargain farm, make sure you're ready to walk. Cause a lot to do I hope you have a great night and I hope I visited. It or my kids visited when I get older.
★★★★★Bamboo BlueI may be a little bias living within walking distance to AFF, but it truly is a great place to visit for its cultural festivals, environmental education events, amphitheater performance, wine tastings, lectures and more. I believe it's also available to rent out space for private events. It's historic farmhouse has one of the best views in Piscataway Park. Be the pioneer of all your friends and visit AFF inside the first national park of its kind in the country -- Piscataway Park.
★★★★★Nick ZaninGreat Place for a field trip. I went with a group of 4th graders. They really enjoyed the wetland walk and dissecting fish. The location is great for environmental education.
