A 24-acre farm with one of the widest species selections in the area - seven varieties including Fraser and Noble fir - plus wrapping and vehicle-tying help included, though 2026 season dates and pricing aren't confirmed.
Keris stands out mainly for its species list. Seven varieties - concolor fir, Norway spruce, white pine, blue spruce, Canaan fir, Noble fir, and Fraser fir - is a wider spread than most small farms in the area manage, and it includes Noble fir specifically, which is less commonly stocked at NJ farms generally. If variety matters to your decision more than convenience, that’s the strongest reason to put this farm on your list.
The farm describes providing “everything you need to walk the fields and cut your own tree,” and per the record that includes wrapping the tree and tying it to your vehicle - a genuinely useful add-on that plenty of smaller cut-your-own operations leave entirely to the customer. Saws are provided as well. Combined with balled-and-burlapped trees also being available as an alternative to cutting, this looks like a farm set up to make the visit easy regardless of which option you pick.
Here’s the honest catch: the farm’s own site lists a season running “November 21st thru December 20th,” but nowhere on the fetched pages is a year attached to that range. It could be this year’s dates, or it could be leftover copy from a prior season that hasn’t been updated. Rather than guess, this record leaves season_start and season_end blank and treats the window as unconfirmed. If the exact dates matter to your plans, that’s the single thing worth nailing down before you go - and notably, no phone number was found published on the site, so you may need to reach out through the site’s contact form or social channels rather than a quick call.
Unlike the season dates, the weekly schedule is stated plainly and doesn’t carry the same ambiguity: 9am-5pm, Wednesday through Sunday, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thanksgiving Day closed. That’s a reliable planning detail even while the broader season window stays unconfirmed.
No pricing was published anywhere in the record, and no phone number was listed - two gaps that would matter to most visitors deciding whether to make the trip. The farm does run a Christmas shop on-site with handmade ornaments and nativity sets, which is a nice add-on if you’re there anyway, but it doesn’t offset the lack of a confirmed price for the tree itself. Treat this as a farm worth visiting for the species selection, with the caveat that you’re going in without a confirmed date range or a known cost.
Not confirmed for 2026. The farm's own site references a season of 'November 21st thru December 20th,' but without a stated year, so it can't be treated as this year's confirmed window - call to verify before planning around it.
