The holidays have arrived and now it’s all about twinkling lights, pine-scented candles, and picking out a Christmas tree at a local farm. This annual tradition is among the first activities on the agenda for the holidays. Here are the best Christmas tree farms in Delaware.
Established in 2008 by Don and Peggy Hallowell, Don’t Tree Farm boasts 40 acres of u-pick/they cut Christmas trees. With a variety of trees to choose from, this includes Fraser Fir, Norway spruce, and more. And though trees are available for tagging during the fall season, you must pre-pay. And don’t forget to help others to stay warm this winter by donating hats, scarfs, gloves, or mittens to the farm.

The first Christmas trees at Coleman were planted in 1955, and more trees have been planted every year. Get a wide selection of Douglas fir, u-pick, pre-cut, and handmade wreaths. Also, the on-site bake shop sells fresh baked goods and hot drinks. And be on the lookout for Santa, as he is said to roam the fields looking for the perfect tree throughout December.
Head to the Poynter’s Tree Farm and Christmas Shop for all of your holiday goodies! After picking out a tree, make sure you pay a visit to their beautiful Christmas shop. Find all kinds of ornaments, Santa Claus decorations, and an impressive collection of nutcrackers
Established in 1986 by Tom and Roseann Conlon, the couple intended the farm to be a rural retreat and farming enterprise. The tree farm is, in the couple’s own words, “just one example of what the human spirit can achieve.” Find Colorado blue spruce, white spruce, Norway spruce, eastern white pine, Douglas fir, and Canaan fir.
This is a cut-your-own farm offers bonfire, horses, and the Potter and the Chimney Sweep Gift Shoppes. Cutting your own tree in the field is a family tradition that dates back centuries, so take a step back in time, sit by the warm glow of a campfire, and partake in some hot apple cider. Then, while the Christmas music falls over the farm, you can choose from white pine, Fraser fir, and Canaan fir trees.
Established in the early 70's by Pat and Bonnie Dyer, at Dyer's you will find hundreds of Douglas fir, Norway spruces, and blue spruces. Some trees are over 12 feet in tall at this u pick/they cut farm. You can even dig your own tree if you like, and fresh wreaths are available, too. Dyer Farm is a proud member of the Delaware Christmas Tree Growers Association.
