Bear Swamp Farm is a small Choose & Cut Christmas Tree Farm located in northern New Jersey. It has been owned and operated by the same family for over sixty years. The Christmas Tree plantation is about nine acres; the Christmas Shop is in the eighty year old log barn.
You can either cut your own Christmas Tree or you can purchase a huge pre-cut tree. In addition to trees, we make and sell hand made fresh garland, hand made wreaths, and bundles of fresh cut boughs.
The current managers of the farm, Roger Knight and Allison Hosford, are dedicated to organic farming and the preservation of open spaces. They are also the owners of Two Pond Farm, an organic farm one mile from Bear Swamp Farm.
November 26, 2023 UPDATE!! We are SOLD OUT and closed for the season. In Two wildly crazy busy days we sold all of our pre-cut trees, all our garland, and all the available trees from our fields. We hope each of you finds a lovely tree this year, and hope to see you in 2024.
Because it is such a small operation, we do not accept credit cards BUT THIS YEAR we have an onsite ATM!!!
We have a few simple rules that we ask every one to abide by:
1. For the safety of our customers and friends, ONLY hand saws are permitted. We have a limited number of hand saws available for us to loan to you. 2. For everyone's comfort and enjoyment every dog MUST BE ON A LEASH. 3. Due to the limited amount of our precious soil, we do NOT sell dug Christmas trees. 4. Because we cannot monitor our fields completely, we do not allow tagging of trees - we cannot guarantee that your tree will be there when you return.
PRICE LIST for 2023 (all prices include sales tax) Choose & Cut Trees - $70.00 each Pre-Cut Trees (beautiful Fraser Firs) - from $75 to $120 Garland - $25 for 20 feet Hand Made Wreaths - $25 to $45 each
* * * The COVID-19 Precautions we are taking if there is another breakout * * * Just as we did last year and the year before, IF there is another COVID breakout, we will be taking the following precautions to help safeguard the health of our customers and their family and friends, our family, and our volunteers from COVID-19: 1. Face masks, covering your mouth and nose completely, must be worn within the area around the pre-cut tree displays, the tree baling operation, the wreath and garland making tables, and inside our store. This area will be clearly marked. 2. The number of customers in the store at any one time will be only SIX. 3. Please do not linger in the store for a long period of time, in order to allow others to come in out of the cold and pay for their tree. 4. We will be sanitizing the store countertops between customers and will have hand sanitizer available for you to use. 5. We will NOT have a serve-yourself-cocoa station. Rather, when possible, we will have a volunteer or family member making and serving cocoa. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In addition to running the Christmas Tree Farm, our family rents our grandparents' retirement home on Lake Arcadia. It is the perfect location for reunions, workshops, and quiet getaways. For more information, please follow this link: www.blueberrypointnj.com
