Shady Brook Farm 

Shady Brook Farm in Yardley brings farm-fresh food and fun to Bucks County all year long. It’s known for its family-friendly farm events for every season and a farm market that sells local produce, baked goods, ice cream, wine, and more. Grab lunch at The Kitchen or have a drink at Stone’s Throw Pub. It’s a lively place to connect with nature and start a tradition or two. 

About Shady Brook Farm 

Shady Brook Farm was founded in 1913 by the Fleming family to grow wholesale crops for the Philadelphia area. While it’s still a working farm, its agritainment and seasonal events invite the community to experience life on the farm. From you-pick crops to a Holiday light show, it hosts family-friendly activities to delight all ages. 

Garden Center & Farm Market 

The Farm Market is open year-round and sells a variety of homegrown and local products like fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, cheese, jam, coffee, and wine from Newtown’s Rose Bank Winery. Stop by The Kitchen for sandwiches or salads, or the Bakery for fresh-baked cookies, cakes, and more. And no visit to Shady Brook Farm would be complete without a cone from Uncle Dave’s Handmade Ice Cream. 

If you have a green thumb, visit the Garden Center and Nursery, which sells plants for every season, from trees and flowers to veggies and houseplants. They’re also well stocked with lawn and garden supplies, pottery, and bird feeders. 

Dining, Live Music & Entertainment 

Stone’s Throw Pub is a cozy barn-turned-watering hole that serves only Pennsylvania-produced wine, beer, and spirits. Enjoy local craft beer, creative cocktails, and food from the Pizza Box.  

On weekends, their unWINEd concerts feature food from The Kitchen and drinks from Stone’s Throw Pub. Acoustic winter concerts are held in The Greenhouse. Once the weather warms, bands set up on the pub patio so kids can play on the playground while parents sit back and relax.  

Events at Shady Brook Farm 

Shady Brook Farm has family-friendly events for every season that celebrate upcoming holidays and whatever’s growing now. 

Spring & Summer Events 

Outdoor concerts resume with Party on the Patio, a laid-back weekend concert series. On summer Fridays, the energy kicks up a notch as bands move to an outdoor stage. Some shows even conclude with fireworks. 

Spring means breakfast with the Easter Bunny and an Easter Eggstravaganza egg hunt. Summerween and Christmas in July bring some of your favorite fall and winter holiday vibes to summertime and give you an excuse to celebrate twice. 

The you-pick fields open in late spring, giving everyone a chance to channel their inner farmer. Depending on what’s in season, you’ll be able to pick veggies, fruit, berries, herbs, and flowers. Don’t miss the Strawberry and Peach & Sunflower Festivals. Both events offer live music, food, wagon rides, and fun activities, making them among the farm’s most popular summer celebrations. 

Fall & Winter Events 

Fall fun at the farm includes pumpkin picking and the popular Fall Fest with its four-acre corn maze. After dark, things get slightly spooky (but still kid-friendly) with bonfires, a light show, and a haunted barn. 

In winter, the farm transforms into a stunning drive through a holiday light display. The Farm Market and Greenhouse become Santa’s Village, where kids can take photos with Santa and enjoy hot cocoa and s’mores. 

Groups, Private Events & Visitor Services 

Shady Brook Farm is a great place for a private celebration! Both the Party Barn and the Greenhouse can be rented for parties, family gatherings, and corporate events with up to 150 guests. A variety of catering options are available, as well as bar service. Reservations can be made online.
