Visiting The Christmas Tree Farm - A Family Tradition

Miss Lisa and "Little Bit"
Sunset Christmas Tree Farm  has a beautiful selection of trees!






     My husband and I visited our oldest daughter, Danielle, out in Seattle for Thanksgiving this year.  We enjoyed the wonderful holiday with our family out in Washington state.  As soon as we arrived back in NJ it was time to drive to Sunset Christmas Tree Farm in Blairstown, NJ.  It has been a tradition in our family for almost 20 years.  The farm is completely sustainable and is a family run business.  Cutting your own tree is not only fun but it guarantees a fresh, beautiful tree!  The farm is located on 21 Frontage Road in Blairstown, NJ 07825.  You may phone the farm at 908.459.4048 and the website is located on the web at SunsetChristmasTreeFarm.com  .  The website has a history of the farm, operating hours, and lovely pictures.  Any tree, regardless of size, is reasonably priced at $45.  For each tree cut, a new one is planted.  Bring your children, dogs and picnic!!!  The day my husband (Mr. Don) , myself and Little Bit (my rescue
Shih Tzu) went it was almost 70 degrees!  Families were tailgating in the field, dogs were running here and there and the staff was helping everyone wrap and stack their tree.  I highly recommend this farm and this activity.  I have two grown children who live out of state (Danielle lives in Seattle, WA and Kaity lives in Boston, MA.) and they both go to farms in their new home states. Traditions are meant to be passed on.  Traditions based on nature and faith are the most important, it seems!

  1. We are so glad your family continues the tradition that makes the Christmas Season special. If there is anything we can do to make your future visits more enjoyable, please let us know. Shawn has worked on the farm since Tim's father was living. Tim and I continue to work on it as much as possible and love it when our grown children visit us there. God bless your Christmas Season!
