Relax and enjoy fabulous outdoor dining and live music while surrounded by the stunning views of Donaldson Farms. Bring your own adult beverages are permitted.

For more than eleven consecutive years, Donaldson Farms has been hosting Friday Nights on the Farm. James on Main collaborates with Donaldson Farms to create delicious farm-fresh and locally-sourced menus for our guests. We are excited to welcome them back as the featured chef/restaurant for most of the season. Donaldson Farms plans to serve our own roasted sweet corn and steamed clams by the dozen, when in season. This event's dinner menu will be provided below when it's available.

James on Main restaurant in Hackettstown has earned a reputation as the go-to dining establishment for enjoying local food at its best - serving locally-sourced and seasonally-inspired menu items that are handcrafted and healthfully composed. This summer, Chef Bill Van Pelt and his culinary crew are back again taking their show on the road to Donaldson Farms' outdoor kitchen as James OFF Main.

Visit Czig Meister at the Can Shack!

During every Friday Night on the Farm, the Czig Can Shack will be open with 5 different varieties of beers, and 3 flavors of hard seltzers. These will be available in single cans and/or full packs. If you are not attending the FNOF event, we are still here for you to pick up to-go cans as well!

*Beer & Seltzer flavors will rotate and are subject to change*
