Agritourism
in the Northwest New Jersey Skylands
Thank you for your interest in Agritourism
and the Skylands region—New Jersey’s “Great Northwest.” Agriculture
and tourism are two important components of the Skylands’ economy.
This list is a compilation of information gathered on those agricultural
enterprises that offer a product or service to the public. Whether you
seek seasonal farm fresh produce, the opportunity to pick your own vegetables,
fruit and berries, cut your own Christmas tree, take a horseback ride,
purchase flowers, or simply an enjoyable drive through our rural countryside,
you can find it in the Skylands.
For a free map and brochure please call

This Week in the New Jersey Skylands.
MAYDAY ALERT! MAYDAY ALERT!
May Day invokes a certain emotional and sensual liberty, summoning waves of Spring Fever and the happy feeling that this most stirring season lies largely before us. Time to dig your self back into Mother Earth. And what finer place than the New Jersey’s Great Northwest Skylands?
- 04/07/2008 11:12 AM
- Spring in the Skylands means falling in love- Reel Love. The enchantment of fishing, that is. Start with our general guide to fishing and see how to find 'em, catch ‘em and cook 'em.
- 03/24/2008 03:42 PM
- Some of the history in Northwest New Jersey is best explored on your own. A walk in the woods at this time of year can reveal more than you can imagine. Its warm, there’s little foliage to block your view, and you can watch, hear and smell the forest come alive. The rigorous climb to the Coppermines in the Kittatinny Mountains is well worth it.
- 03/24/2008 03:49 PM
- For a quick guide to many of the region's parks and outdoor resources take a peek at our outdoor destinations map. Click here and there and plan your day!
- 04/29/2008 03:56 PM
- Flowers generally bloom first in the forest where leafless trees allow the sun to the ground while breaking the wind chill. Tree trunks radiate the day's heat to the ground to protect bursting seeds from frost. Each flower has its own way of doing business. The first to pop above the layer of wet, dead leaves is always skunk cabbage, able to spontaneously generate enough heat to propel it through the frozen ground. Above ground, the plant emits a stink that mimics that of a freshly thawed carcass. The flies that respond will pollinate the hosts a full month before the sweet fragrances of other species bring on the butterflies and bees.
