About Twin Pond Farm Harvest at Howell
Harvest at Howell is Twin Pond Farm's fall festival, held on a farm field at 49 Howell Road, separate from the family's garden center and country market on Route 9 in Howell. The festival opened in 2025, and for 2026 the farm added a new corn maze, a mega slide, paintball target practice and bubbles.
Admission covers the 7-acre corn maze, hayrides around the farm and a long list of farm games: a bounce pad, duck races, a hay bale maze, a corn shed, pedal car racing, pumpkin bowling, pumpkin cornhole, pumpkin ring toss, grain wagon basketball, a John Deere seesaw, gaga, a spider web, a bubble wagon and a petting zoo. Pumpkin picking, sunflower picking, pumpkin cannons, animal feeding, pony rides, paintball target practice and the mega slide cost extra. There is live music every Saturday.
Twin Pond Farm has been family owned and operated since 1923 and is now in its fourth generation. Its garden center at 1459 Route 9 North in Howell carries plants, shrubs, mulch, stone and firewood and has a whole department for koi ponds and water gardens. The Country Market and Deli next door at 1473 Route 9 North serves breakfast, prepared foods made from scratch, Boar's Head meats and cheeses and baked goods, and the family also runs a roadside farm stand at 679 Adelphia Road (Route 524) in Freehold.

Twin Pond Farm runs school field trips at the Harvest field on Fridays during the fall season. Classes arrive at 10 AM for about an hour and a half, learning the life cycle of corn, how corn is used in everyday life and how a working farm operates, then ride the hayride, run the corn maze and play the farm games. Every student goes home with a free sugar pumpkin and a coupon for free weekend admission to the festival for themselves. One teacher per class is included, and classes register online through the farm's field trips page.
Tips and Tricks
Fridays are the budget option: tickets cost less, though the field is only open from 3 to 6 PM. Come on a Saturday for the live music. The corn maze closes to new entries at 4:15 PM, so head there first if you arrive late in the day. For ticket questions the farm has a text line at 732-707-2977.
