About Murray Christmas Farm

Murray Christmas Farm is a small family Christmas tree farm on Philhower Road in Tewksbury Township, on just under 6 acres in the Hunterdon hills. The farm describes the drive out as a scenic ride in the country, and the experience as a personal one: you walk out, pick your tree and choose how much of the work to do.

You can choose from seven varieties: Douglas fir, Fraser fir, balsam fir, concolor fir, white pine, Vanderwolf pine and blue spruce.

Once you pick a tree, the farm will cut it for you and run it through a shaker to knock out loose needles, old leaves and the occasional bird's nest. It then goes through a baler, which wraps it in a net to hold the branches tight, and the farm will tie it to your roof for you. If you would rather have the full authentic experience and cut it yourself, the farm says it will provide whatever help you need and cheer you on.

The farm describes itself as keeping traditions alive over 30 plus years in operation by the Kephart family. One of those traditions is opening for tagging in the middle of November.

Tips and Tricks

The farm will mail or email you a postcard with the year's schedule if you send it your email address or home mailing address through the contact form on its website.

If you are coming from Route 78 West, the farm's directions say to take exit 24 for Oldwick, turn right at the light onto Route 523 north, make your second left onto Rockaway Road, and follow it to its end in the center of Mountainville. Turn right onto Main Street, then a quick left onto Philhower Road, and look for number 37 on the right. The farm warns that the house numbers are a little deceiving, but you will not miss it.
