Brunch With Santa At Alstede Farms Brining Holiday Cheer To Chester

CHESTER, NJ — Alstede Farms, a local farm, is gearing up for the holiday season with events and activities for all ages, as the aroma of pine trees fills the air and the farm is decked out in holiday decor.

Alstede Farms, a first-generation family farm in Morris County, is a pioneer in sustainable agriculture, growing over 250 varieties of fruits and vegetables on more than 600 acres of preserved farmland.

With the holiday season is quickly approaching, which can mean one of several things: children will want to see Santa Claus. In Chester, children will be able to not only see Santa, but also have brunch with him.

"Enjoy a festive atmosphere at Harvest Hall with featured guest Santa and his helpers while indulging in a casual family style buffet meal for a truly memorable experience," Alstede Farms said.

Brunch will be available for families on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 17 and 18. Brunch options include eggs, French toast, sausage, and potatoes, as well as lunch options such as chicken, beef, ham, macaroni and cheese and more.

All seating will be indoors, and all guests will be able to take photos with Santa. There will be parking available at Harvest Hall for the event, and each attendee will receive a 10% off merchandise coupon to use in the farm store.

The farm store is brimming with handcrafted wreaths and kissing balls, as well as bundled greens, roping, mantel swags and grave blankets made on the farm. Don't stress about holiday shopping; instead, give the gift of delicious, farm-fresh products to friends and family.

Guests can buy holiday gift baskets filled with honey, jams, salsas, syrups, coffees, teas and other locally sourced goodies, officials said.
