About Glenview Farm

Glenview Farm is a family-run Christmas tree farm on a plantation atop the Kittatinny Mountain Range. You walk the rows, choose a tree and cut it yourself. The farm provides saws (no chainsaws, please), and it has cutters on hand to help you get your tree down safely.

The trees include Fraser fir, Canaan fir, Douglas fir, Concolor fir, Norway spruce and Colorado blue spruce. The farm also sells balled and burlapped trees, 5 to 14 feet, retail and wholesale; contact the farm for pricing. Custom wreaths and roping are available, and there are free cookies and hot chocolate.

Spending the whole day here is not uncommon. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and the kids can play hide and seek with Bear, who loves pictures. The farm's site also suggests exploring the Appalachian Trail country along the mountain ridge, and bringing a camera. There are picnic tables for a family lunch or a tailgate.

A Brief History

George and Helen Black bought the farm in 1982 because they loved the country and wanted to make a move. They had three options for using the 50 acres and chose what looked like the simplest: Christmas trees. As the farm's history page quotes it, "I thought selling Christmas trees was easy, but I found out it was a lot of hard work but it's very rewarding."

The first trees were sold in 1988. The farm was named Grand Champion in 1997-1998 and Reserve Grand Champion in 2019, and in 1998 the governor visited and cut the first tree of the season. George and Helen Black were named Citizens of the Year in 2000.

Tips and Tricks

Keep dogs on a leash no longer than 7 feet, clean up after them, and ask before petting other people's dogs. No chainsaws; the farm provides saws and has cutters to help.
