Now a combined operation across two Newtown locations with cut-your-own, discounted yellow-tag, and pre-cut options -- but the posted pricing still appeared to reflect last season at research time.
Cut-your-own around $85; discounted 'yellow tag' trees half off; pre-cut selection from about $75 up. These figures reflect the season shown live on the farm's site at fetch time, which itself appears to display 2025 data rather than a confirmed 2026 posting.
What used to be two separate businesses – Paproski’s Tree Farm and Castle Hill Farm, the latter established in 1927 – now operate together as one business across two nearby Newtown locations: the main farm at 5 Hattertown Road, and a satellite lot on Sugar Lane near the greenhouse. That consolidation matters practically: on-site cut-your-own varieties differ from the separate pre-cut selection, so it’s worth figuring out which location has what you want before driving over, rather than assuming either lot has everything.
The farm offers cut-your-own trees at around $85, a discounted “yellow tag” option at half off, and pre-cut trees starting around $75. Those are real numbers pulled directly from the farm’s own site – but there’s a genuine catch: the date displayed alongside them (“Friday, November 28th”) corresponds to the 2025 season, not 2026, since November 28 falls on a Friday in 2025 rather than 2026. That strongly suggests the whole page, prices included, hadn’t been updated for the current season at the time of this research. Treat these figures as last year’s numbers until the site refreshes, and confirm before assuming they’ll carry over unchanged.
Unlike a pure walk-in farm, weekday visits here require a private appointment rather than showing up unannounced. If a weekday trip is the plan, that appointment needs to be arranged in advance – this isn’t a farm where you can swing by on a random Tuesday and expect the gates open.
The farm books private photography sessions by prior arrangement, a nice option for anyone wanting portraits among the trees. Handmade wreaths, sprays, swags, and cemetery blankets are also sold on-site, reflecting the operation’s near-century of history (Castle Hill Farm dates to 1927).
This is a well-established, historically deep operation with real flexibility in how you buy a tree, but the pricing page hadn’t caught up to the 2026 season as of this research. A quick check closer to your visit – or a phone call – will settle the actual current numbers before you commit to a specific location or budget.
Season is expected to start Nov 27, 2026, based on the day-after-Thanksgiving pattern, though the site displayed a 2025-matching date ('Friday, November 28th') at fetch time -- confirm once it updates. Fri 12-4:30pm, Sat 9am-4:30pm, Sun 9am-3:30pm.
About an hour for cutting or picking a pre-cut tree; longer if visiting both locations to compare selection.
Not stated directly, but the farm hosted a CCTGA field day per local news coverage, suggesting it draws industry as well as visitor attention.
Not described in the record.
A pre-cut selection is available separately from the cut-your-own fields, giving an option for visitors who don't want to walk the harvest area -- worth checking which of the two locations has the pre-cut lot before driving.
Skip if you want confirmed current-season pricing before visiting, since the figures on the farm's site appeared to reflect the 2025 season at research time, or if you want walk-in weekday access, since weekdays require a private appointment.
Not specified beyond the farm's own two Newtown locations, which are close enough to check both if one doesn't have what you want.
Cut-your-own is around $85, discounted 'yellow tag' trees are half off, and pre-cut starts around $75, per the figures shown on the farm's site at fetch time -- these appear to reflect the 2025 season, so confirm before budgeting around them.
