Windy Brow has been a Sussex County staple for over 75 years. Building on our rich local history, we’re continually expanding and evolving, and hope you’ll join us on our journey.

Windy Brow, named for its windy location on the brow of a ridge, was originally operated as a dairy farm in the late 1800s. The first fruit trees were planted by the Inslee family in 1920.  When the original dairy barn was destroyed by fire in the 1940s, the Inslee’s decided to concentrate on fruit growing, and establish one of the first retail fruit farms in Sussex County. Many of the original trees are still bearing fruit today, and while the farm itself is smaller in size, we still grow over 50 varieties of apples, 15 varieties of peaches, sweet and tart cherries and a full array of vegetables. We hope to see you on the farm soon!

PICK YOUR OWN

Our PYO apple fields will open for the season on September 1st.

No admission fee, no parking fee, no price per pound fee…that’s it, just the bag cost. From there, you are free to head to the orchards & pick till your bags are full. Dogs are welcome on our property, and in our fields, just not in our farm store, or under our Pizza Pergola. We are adverse to the amusement park farm…we believe in the power of fresh air & Mother Nature. You will not find bounce houses, or cow trains, or corn pits, or pumpkin cannons on our farm. Come with your families, pick some apples, disconnect, grab a scoop of ice cream, breathe in our country air. That’s all.

As a member of our community we expect you to join us in acting with humanity, respect, and empathy for everyone. We do not tolerate racism, discrimination, harassment or hate. Be kind to your neighbors, and patient with us and our staff.

We are here to be stewards to the land, and open this land up for you to enjoy. If you don’t enjoy your visit for one reason or another, talk to us before running to the internet and being mean, and we’ll try to make it right.

ALL SALES OF PYO BAGS ARE FINAL

our ice cream base recipe consists of milk, cream, nonfat dry milk, sugar & egg yolks. real ingredients, nothing else…

any flavors that are colored to match their flavor (i.e black raspberry truffle, honey lavender, strawberry) are all made using naturally extracted food coloring- mainly purple carrot extract and red beet extract
