Happy Day Farm is run by Farmer Tim.  “In 2012, Tim took his love and passion for family and farming and purchased an abandoned 70-acre farm in Manalapan, New Jersey which officially launched Happy Day Farm. Tim utilized the portion of land to plant pumpkins and hold Fall Harvest activities including a corn maze, zoo, horse shaped swings, pedal carts and more.

In 2016, Tim purchased an additional 60 acres adjacent to the farm, making Happy Day Farm a total of 130 acres. The farm has now expanded to include u-pick blueberries, raspberries, sunflowers, lavender and zinnias and much more!

We grow four different varieties of raspberries on four acres of the farm. Please keep in mind that not all varieties are available all season long. We’ll provide you with clamshells to take your bounty home. Clamshells must be fully sealed or you will be required to purchase an additional tray upon exit. Since raspberry picking conditions vary based on weather and crop availability, please always check our website calendar or social media pages on the day of your planned visit to ensure the farm is open for picking.”
