Duke Farms Reopens On Saturdays Amid Coronavirus

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Duke Farms in Hillsborough has resumed opening on Saturdays amid the coronavirus. This is the first time Duke Farms is reopening on the weekends since opening in June.

Saturday hours will run from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Here are some of the precautions Duke Farms is taking as they reopen on Saturdays:

• The Farm Barn, Orchid Range, and Coach Barn will continue to be closed to the public.
• The Cafe is open for outdoor service only.
• Restrooms are available at the Farm Barn, Orchid Range, and trail composting toilets.
• Limited parking will be in effect. We no longer permit overflow meadow parking and will shut down access to Duke Farms if we are at capacity. Visitors are urged to have a backup destination in mind when visiting on busy days/times.
• Carry in/carry out: we have no trash cans. Bring any refuse back home with you and we kindly ask you to not litter.
• When physical distancing isn't possible, wear a mask. This is especially important for high-traffic, people-centric areas like parking lots, gates, crosswalks, entryways, in bathrooms, etc.
• The Farm Market continues to only operate on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Duke Farms is also open Monday to Friday. It initially reopened on June 15 for weekdays only following the coronavirus pandemic.
