Coward Farms offers choose-and-cut Christmas trees and precuts from its own fields. The Christmas page lists Canaan/balsam, Fraser and concolor fir and blue spruce; ask about the specific variety and size available when you visit. Prices and handling charges are not listed on the seasonal page.
Handmade wreaths, swags, Christmas arrangements, cemetery logs, kissing balls and primitive decorations are sold in the holiday shop. Call ahead if you need a particular item or would like to place an order for pickup.

The farm visit.
Hours and payment
The winter FAQ describes daily 9am–5pm hours from the day after Thanksgiving through December, with Thanksgiving closed. A separate seasonal page still gives a November 22 shop opening and November 26 cutting opening without a stated year; confirm the actual opening calendar rather than treating those as firm new-season dates.
Cash and most major credit cards are accepted. Personal checks and prepaid gift cards are not accepted. Professional photo sessions are prohibited, while personal visitor photographs are welcome. General nursery loading help is described separately and should not be read as a free Christmas-tree handling package.
Other seasons at Coward
The separate autumn program runs September 1–October 31, daily 9am–5pm, with the Little Rascal Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Express train on weekends. Mums grown by the nursery, Montauk/Shasta daisies, asters, pumpkins, gourds, cornstalks, straw and fall wreaths fill the seasonal stand; no train price is stated.
Spring nursery hours are May 1–July 3, daily 9am–5pm, for annuals, perennials, herbs, shrubs and vegetable plants. Inventory changes daily. Check the relevant season for these plants and outings; the fall train is not advertised as a Christmas-tree activity.
