Bunny Brunch Planned At Family-Owned Chester Farm

CHESTER, NJ — With spring approaching quickly, Alstede Farms, a locally owned and operated business, has made plans for its Easter Bunny Brunch event for 2023.

Families in and around Chester are invited to grab some brunch with the Easter Bunny during this family-friendly and festive event.

"Enjoy a festive atmosphere at Harvest Hall with featured guest the Easter Bunny while indulging in a casual family-style buffet meal for a truly memorable experience," Alstede Farms said.

Brunch will be available for families on two separate weekends, April 1-2 and again on April 7-8. Tickets must be purchased in advance and will be sold in time slots. For every date, there are three time slots that are available: 9 a.m., 10:45 a.m., and 12:30 p.m.

From the beginning of each family's chosen time slot, they will have a strict 90-minute window to sit down and enjoy their brunch.

All seating will be indoors, and photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny will be available to all guests. Each brunch ticket also includes access to all of the farm's Easter and Springtime Festival activities.

Starting on April 1, the farm will have the following activities as part of its spring festival:

• Scenic hay wagon rides around the farm
• Baby farm animals
• Farm animal feeding
• Easter Egg Hunt
• Easter Bunny with photo opportunities
• Farm museum
• Evergreen maze
