East Brunswick is a township that takes its food seriously. With over 50,000 residents representing dozens of cultures and cuisines, this diverse Middlesex County community knows the difference between something mass-produced and something made with care. That's why so many East Brunswick families have found their way to Wemrock Orchards in Freehold for pies that taste the way homemade is supposed to — baked fresh daily using fruit from our own orchard, with no preservatives and no shortcuts.
If you've ever bitten into a pie and thought it tasted more like the box it came in than the fruit on the label, you already understand why what we do matters. Our pies start with real produce grown on our family farm. Apples come straight from our trees. Strawberries are picked by hand from our fields. Pumpkins are harvested right here on the property. From orchard to oven, the entire process happens within sight of where the fruit was grown. That's a promise you won't get from a supermarket bakery.
Bringing the Whole Family to the Table
East Brunswick is a community where family comes first. The township's highly rated school system draws young families, while its parks and recreation programs — from Veterans Park to the John Piccolo Ice Arena — keep households active and connected. That family-centered spirit extends to the dinner table, where a fresh pie from Wemrock Orchards can turn an ordinary weeknight into something memorable.
Our best-selling apple pie is a crowd-pleaser across generations — kids love the sweet filling, while adults appreciate the buttery, hand-rolled crust and the unmistakable flavor of orchard-fresh fruit. For holiday gatherings and special occasions, our pumpkin and pecan pies are seasonal favorites that disappear fast. We also bake cherry, blueberry, strawberry, and sugar-free options, because in a community as diverse as East Brunswick, there should be a pie for every taste and dietary preference.
Your One-Stop Farm Market Experience
East Brunswick residents are used to having everything they need close by — Brunswick Square Mall, top-rated restaurants, and some of the best shopping in Middlesex County. But for a true farm market experience, nothing beats the short drive south to Wemrock Orchards. Located at 100 Wemrock Road in Freehold, our Country Store has been a central New Jersey destination for over five decades.
When you visit, you'll find far more than pies. Our shelves are stocked with seasonal produce straight from the fields, warm apple cider donuts made fresh throughout the day, pressed apple cider, crumb cakes, strudels, homemade cookies, and artisan breads. The café serves hot Colombian coffee and a lunch menu that changes daily, offering a comfortable spot to relax before heading home with bags full of farm-fresh goods. Whether you're a Rutgers family looking for weekend plans or long-time residents exploring local farms, Wemrock Orchards is the kind of place that rewards every visit with something new.
Taste the Difference Fresh Makes
The next time you need a pie for a birthday, holiday, neighborhood potluck, or just a quiet evening at home, skip the grocery store aisle and try Wemrock Orchards instead. The difference between our handmade pies and anything wrapped in plastic is something you can taste in every bite — and it's something that East Brunswick families keep coming back for.
We're open seven days a week, and you can always call ahead at (732) 431-2668 to check on seasonal flavors or place a special order. Come see us and find out why families from across central New Jersey have been making Wemrock Orchards part of their routine for over fifty years.
