Welcome to Shimers Brook Farmstead,
a charming countryside retreat in northwest New Jersey. Families and couples can connect with nature and our friendly farm animals while enjoying a relaxing picnic under the trees, watching horses graze in the pasture, and listening to the gentle sounds of Shimers Brook.
Kids will love meeting our friendly petting zoo animals—a mini cow, mini donkey, piggies, sheep, ducks, chickens and horses—during a private, appointment-only visit.
For couples, our farm offers an intimate elopement experience like no other. Begin your walk across a charming wooden bridge over Shimers Brook and follow the path to a secluded clearing in the woods, where a magical, woodland, ceremony space awaits. Surrounded by trees and the gentle sounds of the brook, it’s a perfect setting for saying “I do” in a quiet, meaningful way.
Whether you’re here for family fun, engagement or family photos, or a magical woodland elopement, Shimers Brook Farmstead offers a one-of-a-kind place to slow down, connect, and create lasting memories.
