Emmerich Tree Farm

This was our third year cutting down a tree at Emmerich. We cut down the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and put it up the following week. We kept it watered, but realized a week and a half ago the tree wasn’t taking any more water. The tree was completely dead. It began dropping every single needle and when we finally took the tree down yesterday, half of the needles were off the tree.
Thank goodness Home Depot still has trees left or we would have no tree this year. For $ 60 I could have purchased two fresher trees at Home Depot.
I’m only giving one star because they have free hot chocolate and cookies which our child loves. Otherwise, I will not take another chance with this tree farm and will find a new one next year and continue my tradition there.

After searching for many years for the right place, we have been coming here every season for four years. We knew it was the right place when, our first year, we got there about an hour after closing as we were coming all the way from Queens. Nevertheless, Kurt, one of the owners, and his staff went above and beyond by welcoming us and giving us a private, after-​dark tour of the grounds. Each year, the Emmerichs add new, tasteful additions to their business, growing it more and more into a Winter Wonderland of Holiday Cheer!
After you park, a tractor ride will bring you up to the pavilion where you can get (free!) hot cocoa; buy some Christmas wreaths repurposed by Karen, the other owner, from the leftover tree branches; warm yourself by an ever-​burning fire; or patronize the new fancy hot dog food truck (veggie dogs too!). Then it’s on to selecting and cutting down your tree from the acres of diverse trees on the Emmerich property (they have pre-​cut ones too, but what’s the fun in that?!).
Kurt’s hospitality is top-​notch, and it’s a pleasure every year for our family, marking the start of a new holiday season. The hospitality, friendliness, and seeing the owners reinvest their profit back into their business every year harkens back to a day long ago when businesses were small, tasteful, family-​owned, and truly cared about their customers and their product.

Great selection of Xmas trees. You can choose a precut tree or go out to cut one down yourself. They will net it up & provide twine so you an strap it to your car roof. They sell the tree bases as well. It is a great adventure day out and you can sit in front of a log fire by the pavilion and have hot cocoa and a cookie before you start the journey home.
Be prepared to tie the tree to your car roof yourself though & make sure you get enough twine to secure your tree & ask for advise!
