Planting season is under way!

Saturday, April 20th, 2013

Christmas Tree planting is well under way.  Just think…. the first year of harvest for these trees will be 2020!!!  I say “first year” because we typically harvest from any given block of trees for 3-4 years as all the trees do not grow at the same rate, and do not fill in to become […]

Starting Seed!

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

We are excited for 2013!  We are in the process of building a new greenhouse, which should be complete within 2 weeks.  This will be just in time for our vegetable transplants, and, some of our Christmas Trees!  My grandfather used to start his trees in a greenhouse, and we’re going to try again.  We’ve been […]

A well cared for Christmas Tree!

Sunday, January 27th, 2013

I felt compelled to write today to show what can happen (but by no means will…) when you properly care for your Christmas Tree.  This Douglas Fir was cut approximately 12/10/12 and immediately put in water when it got home.  It was not placed in the house until a couple days later.  Water was kept on […]

A beautiful sunrise over the farm this morning.  It should be a great day to get your Christmas Tree!  We still have plenty to choose from, and Santa will be visiting the Cranbury Neck Rd U-Cut farm from 11-3 today.  We hope to see you there!

The Cherry Tree Club

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

We had a wonderful, but slightly muddy, morning with the children from The Cherry Tree Club!  We took the children (about 20!) out into the field, as we’ve done for many years.  This time they rode on the wagon and had a great morning picking out a tree!

Oh the Weather Outside is Raining, but the Joys are still Delightful!

It might be raining, but this group of 40+ made their annual trek to get their trees this morning!!! This is how to make a day of picking out the perfect Christmas Tree!!!

The rain has cleared!

Saturday, December 8th, 2012

Good morning all!!!   The rain pushed through overnight, and I’m waking up to a smidge of fog.  It appears that we’re going to be in the clear for the day… maybe a bit overcast but not down pours at least.  Come on out and find that perfect tree!!!!!
