Anne Ellen Christmas Tree Farm
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Manalapan, New Jersey · Monmouth County
A big Monmouth County tree farm in Manalapan with five cut-your-own varieties mixed through the fields, three holiday shops, weekend train rides and free visits with Santa.
Walk the fields, where varieties are mixed together, and cut your tree with a farm saw or your own. Drag it to a main road and staff bring it to the barn, where you pay and they bale it. Free tagging is offered but doesn't hold a tree.
No reservation is needed for the farm or shops, which take cash and cards. Leashed dogs are welcome, though not in the ticketed evening Village. Pre-cut trees under the lights stay available after the fields close, and weekends add food trucks and a s'mores station.
