CHRISTMAS TREES 2023

It’s Christmas tree time! Here’s the low-down on getting a tree from our farm in 2023:

We plan to be open for only TWO DAYS this year: Saturday, November 25th, and Sunday, November 26th, from 9am – 4 pm. What could alter those dates? We could run out of trees, the weather could be especially bad (though we usually operate rain or shine, but you never know), etc. Therefore, its a good idea to CALL 732-873-3206 the evening before or morning of when you plan to visit and listen to the message for updates. As an aside, WE DO NOT HAVE/MAINTAIN A FACEBOOK PAGE.

How much are the trees this year? Despite rising costs, still $60 each, no matter the species or size (the same price as the previous two years). We accept cash, checks and credit cards (so long as the card reader is behaving itself) as forms of payment.

Which species of trees do we have? White pine, scotch pine, Canaan fir, concolor fir, Colorado spruce and Norway spruce. We have trees that are in the 5 1/2′-6′ range, and a few (very few) that are taller than that, but most are shorter than 5 1/2 feet.

Do you need to bring a saw? Nope. We have hand saws you can use, and also farm staff who will cut the tree if you prefer. If you want to cut the tree yourself, we suggest sturdy leather/canvas gloves to protect your hands, and clothes/footwear that you don’t mind getting dirty (this is a working farm, after all). Do NOT bring an ax to cut your tree!

Can we take pictures? Only AFTER A TREE IS PURCHASED. Anyone who has come to our farm knows that we don’t have a huge parking area. When people come to the farm with the sole intent of using it as a photo backdrop they are taking up valuable parking space as well as contributing a significant amount of wear-and-tear on our grounds. We don’t need the extra traffic either. Therefore, we require that a tree be purchased before any photos are taken. Our farm staff are often happy to take photos of your group with your purchased tree!

More Questions? Give a call or send an email, but please be aware we’re spending lots of time in the field these days but we do our best to get back to you as soon as we can.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Sukkot Celebrations: EVERGREEN BOUGHS FOR SCHACH

Sukkot celebrations are just around the corner and Wolgast Tree Farm & Apiary has evergreen boughs for Sukkah S’chach! All trees are $60 each, either “cut-your-own” branches or cut by us while you wait. Call 732-873-3206 to arrange a visit to the farm and potential options for delivery if you don’t have a suitable vehicle to bring your S’chach home. Chag Sukkot sameach!

Go Local! This is one of the smaller but full, lush spruce trees available for a Sukkah S’chach from our farm. Others are equally full and can range up 9+feet tall! Our staff is happy to cut and bundle the tree, or you can “cut your own”.

LAST CALL FOR A CHRISTMAS TREE IN 2021!!

This Saturday and Sunday (December 4 & 5th) will be our last weekend for selling Christmas trees for the 2021 season. We still have white pine, Scotch pine, Norway Spruce, blue spruce, Canaan fir and concolor fir trees, but they’re averaging 5′ or shorter (there’s a few that are 6′ or taller, but not many). Regardless of size, they are $60 each. If you think a tree that size will be enough to entice Santa to leave presents under the tree, we’ll be open 9am – 4pm both days for you to check the trees out.

Do you need to bring a saw to cut down your tree? Nope. We have bow saws you can use and also people to help you finish the job in case you need help. DO NOT BRING AN AX TO CUT DOWN YOUR TREE!! If you intend to cut the tree yourself, do yourself a favor and wear sturdy leather or canvas gloves to protect your hands, and pants/clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty since you’ll be on all fours to make the cut. We have people to help get your tree out of the field and on your vehicle, but keep in mind you will ultimately be the one who determines if the tree is adequately secured to the vehicle.

Be sure to check our post from November 18, 2021 for additional information that you might find helpful to prepare for your visit.

No matter what, always bring your SENSE OF HUMOR!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas Tree Season 2021

Here’s the lowdown on getting a tree this year…

We’re open Saturdays and Sundays, 9 am – 4 pm beginning Saturday, November 27th until Sunday, December 5th. What could alter those dates? We could run out of trees, the weather could be especially bad (though we usually operate rain or shine, but you never know), etc. Therefore, its a good idea to call (732-873-3206) the afternoon before or morning of when you plan to visit and listen to the message for updates. As an aside, WE DO NOT HAVE/MAINTAIN A FACEBOOK PAGE.

How much are the trees this year? $60 each no matter the species or size. We accept cash, checks and credit cards (so long as the card reader is behaving itself).

Which species of trees do we have? White pine, scotch pine, Canaan fir, cocolor fir, Douglas fir (exactly 1 left), blue spruce and Norway spruce up to 7′, but not many. Be aware that most trees are in the 5 1/2-6′ range, or shorter.

Do you need to bring a saw? No. We have hand saws that you can use, and also farm staff who will cut the tree if you prefer. If you want to cut the tree yourself, we suggest sturdy leather/canvas gloves to protect your hands and clothes/footwear that you don’t mind getting dirty (this is a working farm, afterall). Do NOT bring an ax to cut your tree!

What about Covid? Please check our Covid protocols page. Basically, aim for social distancing, and if you’re not feeling well STAY HOME. We will have hand sanitizer available, but its not a bad idea to bring your own.

More Questions? Give a call or send an email, but please be aware we’re spending lots of time in the field these days so it may take a while to get back to you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

TREE CUTTING HAS CLOSED FOR 2019!

We hate to disappoint anyone, but after looking at the weather forecast for this weekend and evaluating our supply of Christmas trees, we’ve decided to close tree cutting for the season.  Even now the fields and parking spots are pretty wet, and that’s only going to get worse this Friday and Saturday.  And although the weather forecast for Sunday looks a little better, the ground is still going to be saturated.  No fun driving or walking around in mega mud!

On top of that, most of the trees we have left are less than 5 feet tall. While we know some of you prefer smaller trees, we need to hold what we have so they can grow a bit more for next year.

If you were interested in purchasing a grave blanket, we’re happy to take orders and will work with you to arrange a pick-up day and time.

Please visit www.njchristmastrees.org for a listing of other Christmas tree farms by county that might be able to meet your needs.
