How will I get my order ... ?

You will be able to pick up your order right at the Farm.  Please plan on bringing an ice-filled

chest with you to insure your fresh product will be kept cool on the way home.  You want to 

insure maximum freshness and lock the delicious flavor in.   Perhaps you will find some fresh

vegetables that could be the perfect side dish for your chicken or turkey  when you visit also.

Who is Plaid Piper Farm... ?

Plaid Piper Farm LLC was born from the VanAuken/Dalrymple Farm.  It is a family farm that

has been owned by the same family since 1808 when a Revolutionary War soldier Elijah VanAuken

and his wife, Catherine purchased the original parcel.  The only two structures at that time were a log

cabin and grist mill.

We are the 7th generation of that family.  We are proud to tell you that we still live on the  family farm.

This is a rare occurrence in America, especially in New Jersey.

With your patronage, we hope to keep this Farm active for many generations to come.
