HALLOCKS U-PICK

The original ninety acres of Hallock's U-Pick Farm were bought by our grandfather Charles W. Hallock in 1949. Of the ninety acres, sixty three were cropland. The land was farmed by Charles and his son, Robert I. Hallock. Our family also owned another farm in Dayton NJ where white potatoes, cauliflower and grain were grown for the wholesale market. Our parents Robert and Blanch Hallock took over the farm in 1960. They added other vegetables and took them to auction markets... In 1970 Hallock's went into the u-pick business when the sons started growing strawberries and other vegetables. We also began to use greenhouses to grow flowers and vegetable plants for wholesale and retail. In 1980, fifty more acres were bought bringing the total to 139 acres; 119 of which was cropland. This was the year we also began growing more vegetables and less grain.
