Battleview Orchards

My absolute favorite place to get bakery items. They’re always fresh and amazing! Never had an issue here. It gets packed during the holidays and pumpkin/​apple picking season, but you can never go wrong with this adorable place.

Fresh, Fresh, Fresh! Produce, baked goods and other assorted deliciousness. Reasonable prices and sometimes cheaper than the supermarket. I will say that fruits and veggies I buy here seem to have a longer shelf life than supermarket produce. And don’t get me started on the pies. They are AMAZING.

I was happy to see that they finally did away with the $ 1 pick your own cards that did nothing but confuse people and cause traffic.
Aside from pick your own they have a small market which is just a short drive from the pick your own area. They have a window outside the market where they sell apple cider donuts hot, this is a must as they are amazing when they are fresh and warm.
We used to buy our holiday pies at Delicious Orchards (which was torture) but have found that the pies at Battleview are better than Delicious Orchards hands down.

Loooooooved here. The donuts rocked. The pumpkins and apples were awesome! Good times!

Best apple cider donuts by far. If you want the freshest you have to go on weekends with the insane crowds. Expect to see long lines for the donuts. If you go during the week the have donuts but they aren’t as fresh but since there are no crowds you can actually browse around the market.

So much fun! They had all kinds of apples Fugi, Granny Smith, Empire, etc. They also have a small store where they sold the most delicious hot cider and cinnamon sugar doughnuts I’ve ever tried. It’s very organized and plenty of apples to pick from. They also have a pumpkin patch and hay ride !! I recommend this place to all families and friends.

We were denied getting in the Apple cider donut line. They said the line was «closed» even though they were 2 hours away from closing. Went down the street to Wemrock Orchards where there were no lines and better service.

This is the spot for Apple picking that’s for dam sure. Hell of a line to get in and out. Line of cars, line of people. So so many kids. Glad we went but not sure it was as much of a hot Saturday activity as we thought.

It’s that time of year again. Apple picking!
Like leaf peeping, it’s tradition to do this in the Fall and if you’re on the East Coast.
My suggestion is to get to Battleview early. Anything past noon and you will be parking at the lots down the street, have to walk a bit to get to the apples, or plainly get stuck in traffic and never reach Battleview. If you get stuck, I guess the bakery is somewhat of a consolation.
The orchard is pretty big and there are rows and rows of apples. In one day you can pick a variety of apples for baking and eating raw. You can rent one of those apple picking poles or just use your bare hands. There are lots of apples to pick and you can even taste while you pick. Macoun, Red Delicious, Jonagold, Fuji, etc. are all available. Just wander the grounds or check the farm schedule if you are interested in picking a specific kind. We filled our bucket a fourth of the way.
We also went through the pumpkin patch and picked a decent pumpkin. The sizes are great for carving jack-​o-​lanterns or making pies. Even though the pumpkins are heavy, the price is not too bad. I spent way less than I thought I would. It’s about 69 cents a pound.
The bakery is a must. Apple Cider, Apple Cider donuts, pies, fresh fruit and vegetables… It’s hard not to buy everything because everything looks so good!
My only annoyance with Battleview is their membership card. They pretty much harass everyone into buying a card saying that it is mandatory if you want to make purchases at Battleview. However, they don’t even check when you pay. So save yourself the dollar if you can and don’t buy this card if you don’t have to.

Love this place! My family and I travel here from Brooklyn every year to do apple picking. We’ve done peach picking in the summer too and it’s just as good. I love the country store and the apple cider donuts. It’s such a treat to come here once a year. The employees are friendly, and it’s one of those rare places where everyone is in a good mood. The orchards span over two sides, there are always fruit on the trees, and it’s ways ripe and tasty.

My go to apple orchard. Come and try the apple cider and the fresh donuts at the country store. Orchards are kept in good condition and apples are at a reasonable price. Don’t forget, CASH ONLY at the orchard.

Got here in 24 minutes left in 10. Only because all the
Goods were in stock with plenty of choices.
Up the street is picking apples peaches and pumpkin
Not bad for 3pm. Glad we came and conquered.
Only thing is parking but worth the trip.

Great spot for apple picking in the NY/​NJ area. If you come in early September (or earlier) you can also pick peaches, which are delicious and so fresh. Apples are very tasty and of good quality (ie the ones on the trees are not riddled with bugs), but some varieties were already picked over (honeygold) and the trees appeared bare. Other varieties were super plentiful (Macintosh, Fuji). All apples were 1.40 per lb which is very reasonable.
Pumpkin patch was small but many pumpkins available of all different sizes. (75 cents a lb).
Definitely smaller than other orchards such as Barton Orchards or Outhouse Orchards, but I preferred that there were less people. The only thing I missed was the petting zoo at Barton Orchards.
It’s worth visiting if you want a quieter, less crowded place to pick apples. Side note — I personally didn’t like the apple cider donuts (too much cinnamon and sugar and it was grainy sugar, which I hate), but others seem to really enjoy it.

Forgot to check-​in during my visit on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.
Arrived right around the opening time of 9AM, and walking into the retail store again I was bombarded with awesomely delicious looking pastries, breads, cakes, cookies, donuts, and pies.
–When you visit here you have to try the Apple Cider donut bites as they are so sinfully sugary good.
–After scanning all of there pies, I targeted the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie as strawberries are currently right in season. After eating a slice I’m so glad I picked this pie.
Epic deliciousness and freshness it was an amazing pie. The strawberry compote inside was sweet but not too sweet and the strawberries tasted like they were just picked off the bush in the peak of ripeness. Add in the textural pairing of rhubarb (which I’m told is naturally tart that enhances the strawberry flavor) made for a perfect pie marriage. Not to be left out in the marriage of flavors was the perfect pie crust that held together the entire pie.
–Sugar free oatmeal cookies were just okay in my opinion. Really nice oatmeal flavor and texture, but otherwise a tad bland and dry. Maybe the addition of raisins or another rich element would have helped out.
–Raisin bread was very good and tasted so different from commercially available raisin breads. I have a thing for raisin bread and have tried so many of the commercially available brands and some of the more popular non-​commercial brands (like Vermont) and genuinely freshly baked raisin bread really stands out in comparison. The dough was light and just slightly buttery with a hint of sweetness.
Toasted up and generously spread with fresh butter really made for a yummy breakfast the following day especially coupled with a nice warm glass of traditional english breakfast black tea.

This review is going to be short and to the point.
Peach. Pie. Get their peach pie. Love it. Enjoy it. It’s a gift from heaven.
Their other pies are great too but the peach is pure deliciousness. Just don’t come on a Saturday in the late summer/​early Fall… way too crowded.

Piña colada cake… omg
And that chocolate merengue pie… to die for… came back the day after Easter for another piña colada cake…

I came here in early October with my boyfriend and friends. Although there was a warning that a storm had hit and affected this orchard, we still came.
There weren’t much variety of apples — mostly red delicious and golden delicious, but a lot of the apples were damaged. It was crazy packed too. The farmers market just 5 – 8 minutes away. It wasn’t that big either and they had an assortment of pies, apples, vegetables, snacks, and etc. They also had an apple cider slush which was quite yummy,
I don’t know if we would return to Battleview Orchards because they didn’t seem to have a big variety of apples and not the best apple picking place we’ve been to.

This is the kind of place where no matter where you live in the garden state, you should make it a point to come here at least once. What Battleview Orchards does, they do right. My most recent visit was on one of the first truly Autumn feeling days and they were completely packed! I should note that there are basically two parts to Battleview Orchards. There is the farm where you go to pick apples and pumpkins. Then up the road is the market where you can buy delicious apple cider doughnuts and apple cider.
In regards to the farm, their pumpkins are pretty cheap! They charge by weight and their pricing is pretty fair. We walked away with a rather large pumpkin and a tiny pumpkin for just over $ 10. We then made the drive down the street to the market. Expect to wait if you plan on coming on a nice day as there were two lines; one to get in the market and another for the doughnuts which are served via an outside window.
You may be thinking that there is no doughnut worth waiting in line for but I assure you that these are some of the best you will ever have. I would strongly advise against ever getting less than half a dozen of the cinnamon sugar apple cider variety as you will regret your decision after taking your first bite. They are hot, sweet, doughy, and absolutely out of this world. The apple cider is also fresh and delicious and the perfect accompaniment. Make it a point to come here and you will be glad you did!

Yummy Fuji apples! The peaches are alright. I thought the staff at the picking grounds were friendly and helpful. It was about 1.69 $/​lb which is more expensive than what you buy at the market but dang these Fuji apples are so worth it. If you fill a bag it is easily $ 30 so beware.
Country market is lovely, it has so many items and baked goods. The apple cider donuts were good… And very large. I don’t think they really carry anything you can’t get at a speciality supermarket like fairway. But it’s cute, none the less. Their apple cider wasn’t too sweet, which is great! Quite good.
Mom loved the $ 4 huge huge pot of bright yellow, red, purple flowers on sale in the front.
No real bathrooms here… Just port-​a-​potties. Try to drive an SUV here as driving to the trees etc you go through a lot of dirt and gravel paths. Beautiful farm, very clean.

I have been coming here for a while now, primarily for apple picking and pumpkin picking during the fall season. Apple trees here are usually labelled with a color ribbon and the signs tell you which apples you are picking. Trees are not very tall, there some tall ones for certain apple types, however most are small making it very easy for children to pull them off.
You can eat while you pick, just wipe them off or wash them with something to remove the pesticides.
Grab a red bucket by the entrance and fill it up. They weigh it when you are done and you pay for whatever you picked which is not a bad deal. Prices here are a bit high, currently at $ 1.39 a pound. It can get crowded during peak hours, but with the amount of apple trees and rows here, everyone gets to do what they came for without getting in each others way.
There are several locations where to pick all marked off the main road.
Once done head over to the country store where you can get hot apple cider donuts. There are usually two flavors, plain and cinnamon sugar which is my favorite. There are cold donuts packaged inside if you don’t want to make the line outside which is also Cash only. Inside they accept credit cards with the exception of AMEX and the minimum charge is $ 15.
The cider station inside also not to be missed.
I also pickup a pie or two to go before leaving.
Parking can be a pain, there is much more space towards the back, which also makes it easier to leave the store once you are done. I usually park as far back as I can find to make my getaway quick without any delays.
