Flickinger Farms: A Family Tree Tradition
Photo credit: Flickinger Farms
The Flickinger family welcomes visitors from all over the state to select the season’s most essential decoration, the Christmas tree. The Flickingers have resided and farmed in the Wakarusa area since the late 1800s, and in 2014, the latest generation planted Christmas trees, adding to the family tradition.
Flickinger Farms is a choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm. Scotch pine and white pine are available to be cut, along with pre-cut fir trees. Families and friends can enjoy hayrides, hot chocolate and a fun atmosphere when visiting the farm. Tree stands, lights, wreaths and other Christmas items are available for purchase at the farm as well.
The farm is a short drive from Goshen, Elkhart, Bremen, Mishawaka and South Bend. Located at 30210 County Road 40 in Wakarusa, the farm opens the day after Thanksgiving and is open every weekend through December, as inventory allows. Hours are noon-5 p.m. on Fridays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturdays and noon-5 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, visit their website, flickingerfarms.com.
The farm is also available for photography bookings. Photographers and families can reserve a time on Flickinger Farms’ Facebook page, facebook.com/flickfarms.
