Pumpkin Picking
Sun High Orchards
At Sun High Orchards in Randolph, a hay wagon takes you to the patch, where you’ll find a plethora of pumpkins to pick for pie baking and jack-o’-lantern carving. You can also pick apples or peruse the market and take home cider, bread, soups, and homemade ice cream. 19 Canfield Ave (973-584-4734; sunhigh.com).
A Maze of Maize
At the 1,500-acre Norz Hill Farm in Hillsborough, along with pumpkins ripe for the picking, you can puzzle your way through the five-acre corn maze, take a pony ride, and check out the herd of milking cows. 116 South Branch Rd (908-371-2697; norzhillfarm.com).
Farm Fresh
Cherry Hill’s Springdale Farms is 100 acres chock-full of crops including corn, spinach, lettuce, and pumpkins. During the fall there are hayrides and campfires for the kids. The market stocks wines from New Jersey vineyards and 60 varieties of home-baked pies. 1638 South Springdale Rd (856-424-8674; springdalefarms.com).

Cheers to Haiti
2010/02/26From the Editors
Let’s face it. This “snowicane” sweeping across New Jersey right now is nothing compared to the disastrous earthquake that hit Haiti in January. Last night, at the Benefit for Haiti Relief at the Chandelier Room in the W Hoboken, I was reminded of this. And that’s a good enough reason for me to brave a little snow.

Getting Ready to 'Get Fit'
2010/01/04Lost in the Suburbs
Starting this afternoon, I will be taking part in Get Fit New Jersey, a rigorous, 24-week fitness program at Life Time Athletic in Florham Park. Naturally, I spent the weekend stuffing my face with as much holiday chocolate and other goodies as possible.
