In operation since 1955, making it one of the longest-running choose-and-cut farms in this research, with an unusually wide greenery lineup, though the farm's own website could not be verified as working during this research.
Egolf Christmas Trees, in Wanatah, has been operating since 1955, which puts it among the longest-running choose-and-cut farms found anywhere in this research. That kind of longevity says something real: a farm doesn’t stay in business for seven decades without a customer base that keeps coming back, even if the current online presence doesn’t fully reflect that history.
General listings describe Egolf’s tree varieties as Fraser Fir, Douglas Fir, and Scotch Pine, a reasonable core selection covering popular fir and pine options. Where the farm really stands out is its greenery lineup beyond the tree itself: wreaths available in multiple sizes, grave pillows, grave blankets, and swags. That’s a broader holiday-decor selection than most farms in this research offer, suggesting Egolf functions as much as a full-service holiday greenery business as it does a Christmas tree farm. If you’re looking to handle wreaths, grave decorations, and a tree all in one stop, this is a farm worth considering specifically for that combination.
Here’s the catch: the farm’s own website, egolfschristmastrees.com, returned an SSL certificate mismatch error during this research and could not be read directly. That kind of error usually means an expired or misconfigured security certificate rather than the site being gone entirely, but from a visitor’s perspective, it has the same practical effect: you likely can’t reach the site through a normal browser without a security warning, and possibly can’t reach it at all depending on your browser’s settings. Everything known about current hours and offerings comes instead from third-party listings, my-indiana-home.com, an AARP local listing, and a South Shore Convention & Visitors Authority tourism page, rather than the farm’s own current posting.
Those third-party sources describe daily 8am-4pm hours during the season. That’s a useful general shape for planning, a genuinely long daily window compared to many weekend-only farms in this research, but none of the sources specified which season year that schedule reflects, so it shouldn’t be treated as confirmed for 2026 specifically.
Given the certificate error blocking the farm’s own site, calling directly at 219-733-2143 is the most reliable way to confirm current hours, 2026 season dates, and pricing, none of which were found elsewhere in this research. This is a case where the farm’s long track record is a point in its favor even though the current online information is thinner than it should be for a business this established.
Egolf’s history and broad greenery selection make it worth a call, but don’t rely on the farm’s own website working right now, and don’t assume the daily 8am-4pm hours found in third-party listings are confirmed for 2026 without checking directly.
General search listings describe daily 8am-4pm hours during the season, but this could not be verified as 2026-specific since the farm's own website had a certificate error blocking direct access during this research.
Likely 30-60 minutes for a straightforward cut.
Not specified in available sources. Daily hours, if accurate for 2026, would tend to spread visitor traffic more evenly than a weekend-only schedule, but that's a general inference, not a confirmed detail here.
