Tips:
- If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website or Facebook page. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
- ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO
- many farms have closed in the past year, and of course, we won't know until the season starts and we find they aren't open! Call to confirm their supply, their hours
and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available.
All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For
more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here
!
DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!
- And please tell the farmer you visit in Morris County, New Jersey that you found their farm
here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!
And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the
information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy

Comments from a visitor on December 02, 2013: "We take our
family to this farm every year, and it is always a great experience. We were
there this past weekend, even though they were low on the cut your own supply,
we got one of their Fraser Fir which was just freshly cut from their other farm.
It is always a magical experience as there are hayrides, roasting of
marshmallows and hot cocoa. Everything is free but the tree. I don't know how
this family affords to offer all of this at no cost but they pull it off every
year. A true family operation and an awesome experience for our family. HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED especially for those with young children. "
Comments from a visitor on December 11, 2011: "was very
disappointed overall. not a great selection......very, very overpriced...website
not at all what was there....no hayrides....only 1 or 2 types of
trees....deceiving site had a very hard time even finding a tree that wasn't
either a charlie brown tree or 15 feet tall. worst tree farm in 10
years.....ruined our whole experience"
Comments from a visitor on
November 28, 2009: " All trees are well groomed and spaced. Provided are
plenty of quality saws. Cut your tree and have a driver deliver to the packaging
area while you ride in their wagon. Friendly folks are great to kids. Two tag
price ranges yellow (Prices may have changed!) $65 and red $95. Pricey but really full healthy trees. Gave
accurate info when we called."
