About Perfect Christmas Tree Farm

Perfect Christmas Tree Farm is a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm on US Highway 22 in Phillipsburg, in Lopatcong Township, Warren County. Walk the fields, pick the tree you want and cut it yourself. Tree wagons and sharp hand saws are there for you to borrow, and the farm will wrap your tree and give you two-ply sisal twine at no extra charge. Staff will help you get it onto your vehicle, but you tie it down yourself because the farm's insurance requires it.

The farm grows traditional and rarely seen conifers, in sizes from 6 to 16 feet. Firs include Balsam, Fraser, Concolor, Canaan, Nikko, Vetch, Nordmann, Turkish and Douglas fir, plus Arizona X Cork Bark and Korean X Vetch crosses. Austrian and White pine are also grown. Not every variety comes in every size, so come early for the best selection. If you would rather skip the field, pre-cut trees are displayed for sale.

Fresh-cut greens from the farm go into custom wreaths and garlands, treated with Wilt-Pruf, an organic, biodegradable product that helps keep them fresh. The Christmas shop sells vintage and antique ornaments and decor in the old kitchen of a stone farmhouse built around 1790, and the house is open for tours on weekends. Children get a free gift, and refreshments are free.

A Brief History

This 40 acre farm is a small piece of the William Penn Land Grant of 1681 and has always been a farm. Beef cattle grazed here before Christmas trees were planted. John and Cynthia Curtis ran it as a family operation, and John grows more than 40 varieties of Christmas trees and has served as a director of the New Jersey Christmas Tree Growers Association.


Things to See & Do

Choose a tree in the field and cut it yourself with a farm hand saw, then haul it out on a tree wagon. Prefer to skip the cutting? Pre-cut trees are on display, and small potted trees are sold too.

Stop in the Christmas shop in the old kitchen of the stone farmhouse for vintage and antique ornaments and decor, and tour the house on weekends. Custom wreaths are made from fresh greens cut on the farm. The farm's 2022 write-up also mentioned a hay wagon ride out to the fields and a covered bridge to walk across, so ask whether those are running when you go.


Tips and Tricks

Come early in the season for the best selection of varieties and sizes. Plan to secure your tree yourself, because staff can help lift it onto your vehicle but can no longer tie it down. Bring your own rope or ask for the sisal twine the farm provides free.


Admission & Guidelines

There is no admission charge listed. You pay for the tree you cut or pick, plus tax. For the 2025 season, cut-your-own field trees were $89 for trees up to 9 feet, and rose by size to $250 for 15 to 16 feet. Pre-cut trees 6 feet or less are priced as marked, and those from 6 to 9 feet were $89. Wreaths ran $14 to $49 by size and decoration. Prices change from year to year, so confirm before you go.


Parking

The farm has a convenient entrance and parking at 999 US Highway 22, set back from the busy highway.


Directions

The farm is at 999 US Highway 22 in Phillipsburg, on the westbound side of Route 22, a few minutes from I-78. From the east, take I-78 or Route 22 West and get on US 22 West to Exit 3. The farm is 2.4 miles ahead on the right. Look for the large farm sign.
