(who put up a formidable ****** in the Final Four) by more than 70%, the Hillsdale spot is undeniably locals’ favorite place to grab a sugar-dusted ring of fall-spiced dough.

The best apple cider donuts in New Jersey

Demarest Farms has been a staple in the North Jersey community since it was founded in 1886. Known as a “jewel of Bergen County,” the rustic spot is widely regarded for its PYO fields, family-friendly seasonal activities and charming market full of produce and baked goods.

The top-selling item at the longstanding farm, however, is its aforementioned donuts.

According to co-owner Jason DeGise (who co-bought the farm from 90 year-old Elizabeth Demarest after working on it since he was a teenager), the bakery staff makes

Demarest Farms in Hillsdale makes apple cider donuts daily in three varieties, cinnamon and sugar, plain and powdered sugar.

Donuts are pushed out of the fryer at Demarest Farms in Hillsdale.

To many Jersey residents, grabbing a melt-in-your-mouth cider donut is a quintessential autumn endeavor. At farms from Abma’s to Alstede, the deep-fried treats fly off the shelves like KitKats from a trick-or-treat basket. Being the best in the industry, then, requires vendors to make theirs in-house, from scratch and on-the-daily.

And, since Demarest does all of those things, a victory for its fluffy, cakey donuts — it seems — was inevitable.

Demarest Farms is located at 244 Werimus Rd., Hillsdale. Donuts can be bought in its farm store from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
