    As always, from our family to yours, we can't wait to see you on the farm at ELJ Farms Christmas Town 2024!

    Handicap Accessible Wagons

    At ELJ Farms, Santa was insistent that every kid, young and old, no matter their health should be able to visit Christmas Town to see him each year! He was so insistent, infact, that he set out to build TWO of the finest lifts to assist our wagon loading process. We want you to know at ELJ Farms that your family is a priority to us! With only a few days left in the Christmas Town season, we'd like to invite you to join us for one last wagon ride for the year. It's one that we are sure your entire family will remember!
