Travel Itinerary
Golden leaves swirl through Fredon Township, guiding visitors toward a harvest treasure overflowing with autumn magic. Windy Brow Farms has delighted New Jersey taste buds for over 75 years, turning orchard-fresh cider into donuts that sparkle with cinnamon and sugar. Warm spice scents drift across the fields, drawing weekend crowds eager for that first bite of soft, golden perfection. Each ring feels like a little spell of comfort, a sweet reminder that fall in Jersey carries both flavor and fairy-tale wonder.
Farm-Fresh Donut Magic
Bite into heaven at this hilltop bakery where donuts are made from scratch on weekends. The fragrant cinnamon-sugar coating crunches slightly before revealing a tender, apple-infused interior.
These aren’t your mass-produced supermarket knockoffs! Each batch emerges warm from the kitchen, often selling out before noon during peak apple season.
Scenic Orchard Setting
Where else can you munch donuts while wandering through apple-laden trees? The 359 Ridge Road location delivers breathtaking views across Sussex County’s countryside.
Unlike commercial orchards with carnival atmospheres, Windy Brow maintains its authentic working-farm charm. No admission fees or parking charges – just pay for what you pick and eat!
Beyond Donuts: Culinary Wonderland
Donuts may steal the spotlight, especially their famous apple cider donuts dusted in cinnamon sugar, but don’t miss the artisanal bread program! Wednesday through Sunday, bakers pull crusty loaves from the ovens alongside flaky pastries.
Hungry for more? Small-batch ice cream in quirky flavors like sweet corn or blueberry basil brings cool refreshment. Weekend wood-fired pizza nights turn evening visits into cozy countryside dinners you’ll remember long after the last slice.
Pick-Your-Own Paradise
Starting September 1st, visitors can pluck crisp apples straight from the source! Daily walking orchards welcome families, while weekend wagon rides transport pickers to more distant groves.
Fur-babies aren’t left out either – leashed dogs can join the adventure through the fields. Sweeten the outing even more with warm apple cider donuts, golden and sugar-dusted, a farmstand treat that feels like autumn in every bite. And really, could there be anything more Instagram-worthy than your pup posing beside apple trees with a donut in hand?
Insider Tips For Donut Success
Want to score these legendary treats? Arrive early – like, really early – especially during September and October weekends. Smart visitors call ahead for bulk orders.
The farm operates from mid-March through early January, but donut production peaks during autumn harvest. Wednesday through Sunday offers your best shot at catching fresh-from-the-fryer perfection!
