Abma's Farm Market & Petting Zoo: Hillsborough - Hillsborough Township, New Jersey

Gorgeous, clean family farm! My kids aged 5, 4 and 1 loved it here (almost as much as I did!) So many happy, clean animals to pet and feed. So many workers taking great care of the place. They have a wide variety of animals and baby animals, a fun little play barn for the kids, and an adorable farm stand as well. We paid $8 for a fun little beach bucket full of animal feed that you get to take home. We had so much fun feeding the animals we bought a second bucket. This is a great place to bring kids. They are fenced in and it’s very hard for the little kids to run off or away from you the way the petting zoo is laid out. Highly recommend!

We recently visited Adma’s Farm on October 31st. We do not celebrate Halloween and wanted to do something fun for the kids. Upon arrival it wasn’t busy at all which for me was nice. We booked our tickets online for $18 per adult or child. The market is so cute. It was really nice and clean. The produce was reasonably priced and fresh. I love how they have pasture raised eggs fresh daily. The petting zoo was sooo fun. It was $8 a bucket to feed the animals. I did feel like that was a little much but I do not know the cost of feeding farm animals so it may very well be reasonably priced. Nonetheless the experience was great. The animals look well taken care of and loved. The staff was nice. The hayride was nice to see the actual farm and all the effort they put into it. We got to go through the corn maze and pick pumpkins, which they had a huge variety. There were really cute photo opportunities with the scenery and decor. I’d rather visit a farm like this than a zoo where the animals look miserable. The only feedback I have is maybe having someone on the Hayride telling us about the farm, how it’s maintained, and the history of the farm. Someone like me is interested in those details and would have enjoyed an overview of how a farm runs. But the staff there did answer the questions we had. In all we will definitely go back.

We had a very good exciting day. The staff was truly amazing we visited on a Thursday and ended up running very late , I was so nervous we wouldn’t be able to take the hay ride to the maze and pumpkin field but the staff was so understanding and awesome. Myself and the girls had such an amazing time , the petting zoo, the corn maze everything was amazing ❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait to visit again!

I had a wonderful time visiting this charming farm with my 2 year old son. He absolutely loved watching and feeding the animals! While the farm is relatively small, it offers a nice variety of animals, and I appreciated how clean and affordable it is.

The market was stocked with fresh produce and eggs from their chickens, which I was thrilled to bring home!

Amazing petting zoo with rabbits, cows, emu and goats and what not.

The entry price is $5 for everyone. The feeding bucket is $8 per bucket and each refill is $3.

They have peacocks too and amazing crazy bull headed horn animals.

It was such a pleasure to visit this beautiful farm and enjoy all the lovely animals in it! I brought my almost 2 year old and she had an amazing time watching and feeding them. It’s relatively small but has just the right amount of a variety of animals. Not to mention it’s very clean and affordable!

I saw in a previous review they felt there should’ve been labels on each sign of what animals not to feed and I agree that would be a good addition.

The market was filled with fresh produce and eggs from their chickens which I was super excited to take home!

All in all this is a great place to take the family to on a nice day!

Looking forward to picking vegetables my next visit!

What a wonderful new farm in town!

1) we bought the petting zoo tickets online. Check-in was smooth and simple. The kid working the booth were very well trained - courteous, professional and well mannered.

There was another boy (presumably a member of the family as well) who was so kind to my toddler - he even went into the rabitat to pickup a bunny and let my son pet the rabbit up close. He was kind enough to give us a short tour too of the petting zoo area.

2) We loved the variety of animals. From rabbits to pigs to donkeys to emus and alpacas, there were so many types of animals to look at and read about on the signage.

3) the market store itself isn’t large but it has plenty of stuff to browse. We loved the strawberries (taste like candy!) and the sugar plums are delicious too. We noticed they also have freezers with their own meats- we’ll have to try that another time.

My only feedback would be this - it would be nice to have signs at each animal pen reminding visitors what animals can be fed / not fed. Maybe a sign like “visitors: please only feed me _____ (pellets, carrot tops, crackers) as a reminder.

In retrospect, maybe we should have photographed the sign at the check in booth and kept it on our phones as a reminder.

Overall, we had a great experience during our first visit with friends.

One unique aspect that I enjoyed and wanted to highlight was the bucket of pellets we paid for. We got to keep the bucket —- which makes sense on their signage that there’s a $3 refill cost, meaning on our next visit we can pay for a refill using the same bucket. Great idea.

We visited today and loved it! The place is very well taken cared of and the animals look happy and healthy. We were able to feed & pet many different animals, hope to go back soon!
