The NJ Apple Cider Donut Trail
New Jersey
Orchards, farm markets, fresh fryers, and a distinct seasonal access problem.
About The NJ Apple Cider Donut Trail
Statewide apple cider donut circuits from Bergen to South Jersey — market access first, PYO tickets second, with 2026 crop caveats.
When to go
- Prime window: late August–November, varying by farm; some markets sell donuts year-round. In 2026 a spring freeze altered the apple crop at some farms, so separate donut availability from apple-picking availability. Call ahead for donut availability, Sunday closures, and sellouts — farms vary by week.
