The oldest continuously farmed land in the state runs its holiday tree and wreath sale for nearly four weeks, across 47 acres of Floral Park farmland with livestock and 18th-century buildings still in use around you. Buying a tree here is a farm visit rather than a sidewalk transaction, which matters with children in tow. If you normally settle for a corner lot, this beats it.
What to expect
A seasonal sales operation on the farm grounds, running most of the way from the Thanksgiving weekend to just before Christmas. The rest of the farm is around you while you shop, so it doubles as a walk past the barns and animal pens. Specific hours and pricing had not been posted at the time of writing.
Good to know
- Take the E or F to Kew Gardens–Union Turnpike, then the Q46 bus east to Little Neck Parkway.
- Bring a car or arrange delivery if you are buying a full-size tree rather than a wreath.
- Free on-site parking, which gets busy on the weekends closest to Christmas.
- The grounds are gravel and packed earth, so wear boots in wet weather.
- Go on a weekday if you want the pick of the stock without a queue.
- Hours and pricing had not been posted at the time of writing; check the farm listing first.

Common questions
Can I get a tree home on the subway?
Realistically no for a full-size tree. Wreaths travel fine on the bus and train, but plan on a car or a delivery arrangement for anything larger.
Is there anything else to do while I am there?
Yes — the sale sits on a working 47-acre farm with livestock, planted fields and historic buildings, so it works as a visit rather than just an errand.
When is it least crowded?
Weekdays, and earlier in the run. The weekends immediately before Christmas are the busiest and the stock is most picked over by then.
