LAST CALL FOR A CHRISTMAS TREE IN 2021!!

This Saturday and Sunday (December 4 & 5th) will be our last weekend for selling Christmas trees for the 2021 season. We still have white pine, Scotch pine, Norway Spruce, blue spruce, Canaan fir and concolor fir trees, but they’re averaging 5′ or shorter (there’s a few that are 6′ or taller, but not many). Regardless of size, they are $60 each. If you think a tree that size will be enough to entice Santa to leave presents under the tree, we’ll be open 9am – 4pm both days for you to check the trees out.

Do you need to bring a saw to cut down your tree? Nope. We have bow saws you can use and also people to help you finish the job in case you need help. DO NOT BRING AN AX TO CUT DOWN YOUR TREE!! If you intend to cut the tree yourself, do yourself a favor and wear sturdy leather or canvas gloves to protect your hands, and pants/clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty since you’ll be on all fours to make the cut. We have people to help get your tree out of the field and on your vehicle, but keep in mind you will ultimately be the one who determines if the tree is adequately secured to the vehicle.

Be sure to check our post from November 18, 2021 for additional information that you might find helpful to prepare for your visit.

No matter what, always bring your SENSE OF HUMOR!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas Tree Season 2021

Here’s the lowdown on getting a tree this year…

We’re open Saturdays and Sundays, 9 am – 4 pm beginning Saturday, November 27th until Sunday, December 5th. What could alter those dates? We could run out of trees, the weather could be especially bad (though we usually operate rain or shine, but you never know), etc. Therefore, its a good idea to call (732-873-3206) the afternoon before or morning of when you plan to visit and listen to the message for updates. As an aside, WE DO NOT HAVE/MAINTAIN A FACEBOOK PAGE.

How much are the trees this year? $60 each no matter the species or size. We accept cash, checks and credit cards (so long as the card reader is behaving itself).

Which species of trees do we have? White pine, scotch pine, Canaan fir, cocolor fir, Douglas fir (exactly 1 left), blue spruce and Norway spruce up to 7′, but not many. Be aware that most trees are in the 5 1/2-6′ range, or shorter.

Do you need to bring a saw? No. We have hand saws that you can use, and also farm staff who will cut the tree if you prefer. If you want to cut the tree yourself, we suggest sturdy leather/canvas gloves to protect your hands and clothes/footwear that you don’t mind getting dirty (this is a working farm, afterall). Do NOT bring an ax to cut your tree!

What about Covid? Please check our Covid protocols page. Basically, aim for social distancing, and if you’re not feeling well STAY HOME. We will have hand sanitizer available, but its not a bad idea to bring your own.

More Questions? Give a call or send an email, but please be aware we’re spending lots of time in the field these days so it may take a while to get back to you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
