WEST MILFORD — Bear Swamp Farm in West Milford is a family-owned and operated tree farm on Otterhole Road. This weekend is the last of the season to cut or buy a Christmas tree at Bear Swamp. It's an organic farm, so the trees grown there have no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. Choose from Balsam Fir, White Pine, Scotch Pine, Norway Spruce, Blue Spruce and White Spruce on their 10-acre plantation. Wear your hiking shoes. The price for any cut-your-own is $47.
If you would rather have a pre-cut tree, the farm has fresh cut Douglas Firs from a family farm in Kunklestown, Pa. Prices are $65 to $95.
Locally handmade garland is also available. Hot coffee and cocoa are available as well as hand-crafted gifts in the shop.
