Local Farm Hosts Blueberry Pancake Breakfast Event In Chester

CHESTER, NJ — To kick off blueberry season in New Jersey, the Alstede Farm is hosting a hearty farm-to-table blueberry pancake breakfast.

Visitors are welcome to attend Alstede Farms' Blueberry Pancake Breakfast, which includes our delicious homemade blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, coffee and other beverages.

The community event will take place on July 10, with breakfast slots available from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Alstede Farms, located at 1 Alstede Farms Lane in Chester.

Guests will be greeted with a scenic wagon ride around the farm, eventually arriving at the new Christmas Barn, where breakfast will be served. Following breakfast, families are invited to spend the rest of the day on the farm picking blueberries in the fields.

Each pancake breakfast ticket includes Pick Your Own (PYO) admission, a pint container, and the cost of blueberries to fill each pint container. There will be a 60-minute time limit from the beginning of your chosen time slot to sit and enjoy your breakfast, according to Alstede Farms.

Each ticket purchase also includes tractor-drawn wagon rides, a hay pyramid and an evergreen maze. Additional pints are available if you want to pick more blueberries than the one that comes with the breakfast ticket.

Children under the age of two will be admitted free of charge, and a high chair will be made available upon request.

Additional activities will be available for children in attendance; however, those will necessitate the purchase of an activities plus ticket, which includes one pony ride, one wagon train ride and one bounce house ticket.

"Our breakfasts and brunches are a great way to start your delicious day on the farm," Alstede Farms said.
