Applegate Farm, nestled in Montclair, NJ, has been a beloved destination for families in Northern New Jersey since 1848. Steeped in history, the farm offers a glimpse into the past with its original farm house, which played a role in the Civil War, and an authentic tile silo dating back to 1919.
Through wars and economic hardships, Applegate Farm has stood the test of time, attracting visitors seeking nostalgia and charm. Once owned by the Sigler family, the farm gained renown for its Golden Guernsey milk products before being taken over by Julian Tinkham in the late 1800s, followed by Frank Oliver who introduced the first ice cream cone.
Under Oliver's stewardship, Applegate Farm flourished, with new flavors emerging and the business expanding into wholesale markets. Today, visitors can savor the legacy of "Sweet Scoops of the Past" and indulge in a taste of history at Applegate Farm.
