Barclay’s Tree Farm

What’s not to love about walking around acres of trees with a hacksaw considering which one would look perfect near the hearth? NOTHING.
Barclay’s is friendly, festive, and low pressure– I just wish all of my Christmas purchases were so fun and pleasant. Its affordable and the staff helps you put the tree on your car before you drive off. We got a beautiful 8 foot tree for $ 50.
Barclay’s Tree Farm is our new Christmas tradition.

Awesome place to get your tree. Staff is crazy friendly, knowledgable and eager to help. It’s located in a beautiful area that’s easy to get to, we’ll definitely go back next year.

Let me be clear when I say, with zero exaggeration, that this was the BEST Christmas tree fetching experience I have ever had in my 27 years (and the rest of my experiences have been up north in Sussex County, which is ALWAYS good). We arrived and were immediately greeted by a friendly staff member who asked if we were looking for a particular type of tree. I said Fraser Fir, and he recommended the best parts of the property to look, and then looked through every hack saw they had hanging to pick the newest blade to give us (and holy crap he was right, it took less than 10 passes to cut through the tree).
We scampered off toward the back area (behind the apple trees) into what can only be described as a beautiful winter wonderland. Even for late in the tree getting season (we went today-​12/​15), the selection was vast and all the trees were full, beautiful and healthy. Within a few minutes I spotted the perfect tree and the boy chopped it down. Usually we take turns with the saw but like I said, the blade cut through like butter and the tree fell before I could even snap a picture!
Upon carrying it back to the front area, another staff member greeted us, took it out of our hands immediately, wrapped it and handed it off to another gentleman who put it on the car and tied it up. This entire exchange took about 90 seconds. Further, the guy tying it to the car explained that it was a Fraser Fir, suggested the best ways to care for it, and noted its perks over other types of trees.
Everyone was SO friendly and happy to help, and we left squealing like little kids on Christmas Eve. We’ve already resolved to return next year, despite the fact that we will be living over an hour away and back up in Sussex County, which is a part of the state that literally has more Christmas trees than people. Long story short, you must come to Barclay’s! P. S. There is a tip jar – use it!
