Two Centuries on the Farm
Phillips Farms has been owned and operated by the Phillips family for more than two centuries. Founded in 1806 by German immigrant Philip Rapp on 40 acres in what is now Holland Township, New Jersey, the farm today encompasses 300 acres and produces an extensive variety of fruits, vegetables, and nursery plants.
A family effort
Marc Phillips grew up on the farm, and he and wife Holly began farming here right out of college, planting vegetables and fruit trees and building the first greenhouse. While Marc ran the farm, Holly juggled farm tasks with caring for their children and working as a registered nurse.
After pursuing other careers after college, their children — daughter Megan, son Jason, and his wife Chrissy — have returned to the farm full-time.
Our Team
In addition to family and a dozen hard-working permanent staff, approximately 40 dedicated seasonal agricultural guest workers on visas from Central America return year after year.
We also offer local young people the opportunity to have their first job by working at the Farm Market and at Pick-Your-Own.
