Pre-cut trees
The farm visit.
Trees and greenhouse decorating choices
The holiday greenhouse range includes Christmas trees, hand-decorated wreaths, swags, greens, kissing balls, grave blankets, roping and garland. Poinsettias, Christmas cactus, cyclamen and Alberta spruce add smaller plant choices. The large bow selection lets shoppers choose the finish for a wreath.
Tree species, sizes and stock vary; ask the Wyckoff team about the tree you want. These details apply to Wyckoff; check the Hillsborough branch separately.
Book a holiday visit or photo session
The farm’s posted holiday calendar includes the programmes below, each booked separately from ordinary tree shopping. The provider prices are displayed ticket or package bases, with final processing fees and any taxes to check for your selected session.
Emily’s mini-session terms require immediate-family groups and arrival picture-ready 15 minutes before the session; lateness can shorten or forfeit it. Personal cameras need prior arrangement for those professional sessions. The separate Santa and Story Time visits welcome your own camera. The operator’s mini-session policy excludes pets and service animals at or near those sessions; confirm access arrangements with the farm before booking.
For the Santa Photo Op, check in at the tent for your reserved time; the provider permits a 30-minute check-in window. Everyone present needs a ticket, including the camera holder, and missing tickets incur an additional fee of an unspecified amount. Story Time starts promptly, so arrive 5–10 minutes early. For the Christmas Party, park and check in by the outdoor tractor playground 10–15 minutes before the ticket time. These event providers give 700 Lawlins Road as the meeting address.
The party’s FAQ makes children under 24 months free as lap sitters, without a cookie, cocoa or gift. Its pricing label instead says 0–24 months free while paid children start at age two: confirm the ticket rule for a child exactly 24 months old. This party exception does not apply to the separate Santa Photo Op or Story Time, where every entrant needs a ticket.
Santa Photo Op, Story Time and party ticket sales are final, nonrefundable and nontransferable, including for bad weather, illness, lateness or a missed visit. Processing fees are additional and nonrefundable. The two Santa programmes operate rain or shine; bring warm clothing for outdoor waits and the tent.
| Program | Posted dates | Experience and essential conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Tree Farm Mini Photo Sessions | November 27–28 | Emily Photography: $250 for 10 minutes and 3 images. Book ahead; the separately purchased Elf Pass at booking delivers photos within five days. Check its extra price and the final invoice. |
| Photos with Santa | November 27–28; December 5 | $5.50 per person, including babies and the person taking the picture; approximately 5 minutes. Bring your camera or ask staff to help. Letters can be written there or brought for the North Pole mailbox. Booking required; processing fee extra. |
| Story Time & Photo with Santa | December 8, 9, 12 and 19 | $15.50 displayed adult or child ticket; every entrant, including infant siblings, needs a ticket. Approximately 30 minutes, recommended ages 2+; the story repeats at each slot. Tent setting; dress warmly and bring a camera. Confirm the ticket choice for infants and final fees. |
| Christmas Party | December 2–4 and 9–11 | $55 adult or child age 2+, plus processing fee; about 45 minutes. Hayride, one cocoa per paid ticket, gingerbread cookie, singalong, fire, 16-foot hay-bale tree lighting, retouched digital family photo and a child’s take-home gift. Check the separate lap-sitter rule below. |
Make holiday decorations
Guided wreath and centerpiece workshops take place in the greenhouses, using fresh pine, cedar and holly with a choice of seasonal decorations. No previous experience is needed. Candle making and the adult gingerbread evening offer other ways to make something to take home. All require booking.
The gingerbread evening expressly permits extra snacks and drinks to share with your group. Check permitted drinks with the wine bar; the ordinary farm and barnyard food restrictions still apply elsewhere. Its package supplies a prebuilt house, candy and icing, a sparkling-wine welcome drink and a personal charcuterie board, with a vegetarian option available. A separately purchased bottle of wine is offered at an unspecified discount.
The candle workshop is for ages 21+ with a maximum of 12 participants, and includes two 8-ounce candles, a glass of wine, a personal charcuterie board and instruction. It runs for about 90 minutes and begins at 6pm in the market. The gingerbread booking also describes 90 minutes, with 6pm market check-in but a 6:30pm start in its additional information; confirm those arrangements before travelling. Both give 700 Lawlins Road as the meeting address.
Candles and gingerbread require full payment in advance. Their specific booking terms allow cancellations at least 14 days before the event for a refund minus processing fees. Weather, illness, lateness or failure to attend do not receive a refund or credit. These conditions differ from the final-sale tickets for other programmes.
The wreath and centerpiece bookings each charge a $15 nonrefundable registration fee, plus a processing fee, before a separate final project payment at the workshop’s end. The wreath fee does not reduce the finished-wreath cost. The centerpiece pricing label and explicit note also say its fee is not credited, but another sentence refers to credit toward a wreath: confirm that inconsistency and the finished-project total with the farm. Neither $15 charge is the complete project price. Those registrations are nontransferable and are not refunded for weather, illness, lateness or a missed visit.
| Workshop | Posted date or dates | Included activity and conditions |
|---|---|---|
| DIY Holiday Candles | November 19, 6pm | $90, ages 21+; approximately 90 minutes. Two 8-ounce candles, a glass of wine, personal charcuterie and instruction; maximum 12. Full payment in advance; 14-day cancellation terms below. |
| Gingerbread House Workshop | December 3; 6pm check-in, 6:30pm start in additional information — confirm | $70, ages 21+; approximately 90 minutes. Prebuilt house, candy, icing, sparkling wine and personal charcuterie; vegetarian option available. Full payment in advance; 14-day cancellation terms below. |
| Wreath Making | December 1, 3 and 5, 10:30am | $15 nonrefundable registration plus processing fee; does not count toward the separate finished-wreath price. Guided fresh-evergreen wreath and decorations in the greenhouses; final payment at completion. |
| Centerpiece Workshop | December 15, 17 and 19, 10:30am | $15 nonrefundable registration plus processing fee; separate finished-project payment. Confirm the contradictory credit wording. Guided evergreen centerpiece with candles, holders and decoration choices in the greenhouses. |
Market purchases and practical arrangements
There is no admission fee for the farm market or greenhouses. Cash and cards are accepted there, with a $10 minimum per card purchase and a processor surcharge. ATMs are on site.
The deli sells prepared salads, sandwiches, wraps and other food. Limited seating is available in the perennial garden behind the market; outside food is not allowed. Portable restrooms are near the barnyard entrance. Pets are not permitted; service-animal access has area-specific restrictions in the operator’s policy.
Parking is free. Wear closed-toe shoes for the working farm’s dusty or muddy conditions.
The seasonal Barn opens on Saturdays from 10am–3pm for fresh donuts and drinks. Hot chocolate is offered during winter events; check that the Barn is operating on your visit day.
A separate barnyard visit
The year-round barnyard has goats, sheep, alpaca, donkeys, ponies, rabbits and pigs, with a goat bridge, duck pond, Bunnyville and a playhouse area. Admission is separate from tree shopping. Tickets are timed, non-refundable and non-transferable; advance purchase is recommended, with the FAQ requiring advance tickets for ages two and older. Use the 30-minute check-in window after the ticket time; early arrivals and arrivals outside that window are not accommodated.
Animal feed is extra and cash only at the barnyard booth. Animal crackers are limited to two per person or ten per family, and only approved food may be given to the particular animals. The barnyard normally opens Monday–Saturday, 9am–5:30pm, with last tickets at 4:30pm; dangerous weather, snow or ice may close it. Pony rides run May–October.

The market tasting room
Tomasello’s tasting room is inside the market and is operated by the winery team. Wine tasting is posted at $16 per person; wine and truffle tastings, wines, ciders and creams are offered. Personal charcuterie boxes and cheese-and-fruit platters can be preordered. Walk-ins are welcome, with Saturday reservations strongly recommended through 609-547-5021 or twabmas@gmail.com.
Confirm opening and the last tasting before travelling: the farm’s hours page lists Monday–Saturday, 10am–5:30pm, while the tasting-room page gives Monday–Friday 9am–6pm with the last tasting at 4:30pm, and Saturday 9am–5:30pm with the last tasting at 4pm. Sunday is closed. Purchases and tasting bookings are separate from trees, barnyard admission and holiday-event tickets.
Arrange a small-group workshop
Wine-tasting and workshop evenings can be customized for the season and availability, with bouquet arranging, succulent planting or charcuterie among the ideas. A minimum of ten people is required; request a program and quote from Jaime at jaime@abmasfarm.com. For this booked group channel, the farm lists a 20% discount on Tomasello wine purchases in addition to the tasting. Confirm the offer with the group arrangement.
Grounds and ticket conditions
Strollers are welcome in the market, greenhouses and barnyard. The greenhouse floor is gravel; the barnyard is paved but has a sharp incline at its entrance. Strollers cannot go on hay wagons and must use the designated stroller parking area. Ask the farm about the route and access needed for your visit.
Smoking and vaping are not permitted. Alcohol consumption is limited to Tomasello wine in the tasting room. The posted ticket terms make sales final, non-refundable and non-transferable, including for inclement weather; processing fees are also non-refundable. The candle and gingerbread providers have a separate cancellation option at least 14 days ahead, with processing fees retained; check the specific programme’s terms before paying.
