About Wyckoff's Christmas Tree Farm
Wyckoff's is a family-run Christmas tree farm where you walk the fields, pick your tree and cut it yourself. Hand saws are provided, and you are welcome to bring your own saw (power saws are not allowed). Trees are tagged with their price right in the field.
The farm grows Fraser fir, Canaan fir, Douglas fir, Blue spruce, Norway spruce, Concolor fir, White pine and Victorian fir. It also sells colored trees: the farm calls itself New Jersey's original colored tree farm, with pink, purple, blue, turquoise, red, black and white to choose from while supplies last. If you do not want to walk the fields, there is a fresh-cut lot, and some of those trees may be hand-picked from other farms.
Once your tree is cut, the farm runs it over a tree shaker to knock out dead needles, bales it for the ride home and drills the base for a pin-type stand, all free. Stands are for sale.
The Christmas Barn sells wreaths, greens, grave blankets, decorations and gifts, plus wine from Little Ridge Vineyards, a few minutes down the road. The farm takes custom orders for wreaths and greens, but does not take orders for trees.
The farm sits on County Road 519 in White Township, up on a hill with a view toward the Delaware Water Gap.

A Brief History
The land has been in the Wyckoff family since 1839, when Simon Wyckoff bought 172 acres in what is now White Township. For four generations it was a self-sufficient dairy, livestock and grain farm.
In 1958 John W. Wyckoff Sr. and his 14-year-old son, John Jr., planted a thousand Norway spruce seedlings. The first eight trees were harvested in 1967: two went to the family's own Christmas trees and six were sold for five dollars each, leaned against a cattle pasture fence by the road. By 1970 the cows were sold, and father and son went into Christmas trees full time and began selling them straight from the field.
Today about 65 acres are in tree production. The farm won the New Jersey Agricultural Society's Century Farm Award in 1985, was named National Christmas Tree Association Grand Champion Grower in 2013 (the first New Jersey grower to win it, and the farm presented the White House's Blue Room tree), and was Reserve Grand Champion Grower in 2019. It is also a 12-time winner of the New Jersey Christmas Tree Growers Association Grand Champion award, most recently in 2022.
Tips and Tricks
Weekends between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. are the busiest hours on the farm, and the farm suggests a weekday visit if you can manage one.
Dogs are not allowed on the farm, and tailgating is no longer permitted either.
The tree shaker will not take large trees, so ask before you cut a big one.
Admission & Guidelines
There is no admission charge listed. You pay for the tree you cut, and every tree carries a price tag that includes sales tax. The farm's site gives an average of $16 per foot for trees 8 feet and under, with larger trees costing more and colored trees $4 more per foot. Please leave the price tag on the tree. The farm accepts Visa and MasterCard.
