NJ Governors Office Officially Kicks Off Choose and Cut at Spruce Goose Christmas Tree Farm

New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher today officially kicked off the choose and cut Christmas tree season during the annual ceremonial cutting of a Christmas tree, held this year at Spruce Goose Christmas Tree Farm in Burlington County.

Governor Christie proclaimed November 27 as Jersey Grown Christmas Tree Day, encouraging New Jersey residents to support the state’s farmers and visit choose and cut Christmas tree farms.

“A visit to a New Jersey Christmas tree farm provides families with life-long memories,” said Secretary Fisher.  “Our farmers grow some of the most beautiful and healthy trees in the nation. Like other agritourism activities, many people who visit Christmas tree farms can make a day out of it, visiting nearby restaurants and other businesses, supporting the local economy.”

Spruce Goose Christmas Tree Farm’s Douglas Fir tree won the 2017 New Jersey Christmas Tree Growers Association annual tree contest that was held at the Middlesex County Fair. It has been a long-standing tradition that the kick-off of the Choose-and-Cut Christmas tree season takes place at the Grand Champion’s farm. The first tree seedlings at Spruce Goose were planted in 1987 with tree harvesting beginning in 1993. This season, John and Karyn Benton, owners of Spruce Goose Christmas Tree Farm, will celebrate 25 years of harvesting Christmas trees along with celebrating being the New Jersey Grand Champion. Spruce Goose offers Colorado Blue Spruce, Serbian Spruce, Norway Spruce, Douglas Fir, Fraser Fir, White and Canaan Firs, and Scotch and Eastern White Pines.
