Melick's Farm Market

Melick's Town Farm is the largest fruit grower in Central and Northern New Jersey, with more than 20,000 apple trees and 5,000 peach trees. Our orchards cover nearly 120 of our 650 acres of land. The farm is owned by George and Norma Melick, now joined by their children Peter, John and Rebecca, thetenth generation to live on this land inHunterdon County. We have traced the family tree back to the period between 1725 and 1735 when Johan Peter Moelich arrived in the area with his two brothers. (Click here for a fascinating history of the Melick family as printed in General Store magazine, Autumn 2001.) The homestead is in Oldwick, New Jersey, approximately 35 miles west of Newark. OurPick Your Own Strawberries and most of the vegetables are grown at this location, along with our beautiful, Pick Your Own Flowers Garden.Just up the road, we also have approximately 50 acres of orchard in Oldwick at the location of theCider Mill and Orchards. This is the primary location for our school tours, and much of our fall family activities.
