What Handmade Wreaths and Christmas Decorations Does The Ice Farm Offer?
Updated
The Ice Farm hand-makes custom designer wreaths in ring sizes from 10″ to 48″ (20″ to 6′ in diameter), plus a range of novelty decorations including candy canes, crosses, cemetery pieces, table toppers, table center pieces, mail box huggies, swags, sprays, and kissing balls. These are made to order rather than pulled from a fixed catalog, so the practical answer to "what can I get" is: pick a size and a style, and the farm builds it. The decorations sit alongside the farm's Christmas tree operation, which runs on a short seasonal window each year.
Wreath sizes and how to read them
The Ice Farm lists two size ranges, and they describe different measurements:
| Listed size | What it measures | Approximate diameter |
|---|---|---|
| 10″–48″ | Ring size | 20″ to 6′ across |
| 20″–6′ | Finished diameter | Same range, stated the other way |
The key point is that the small number is the ring (the form the wreath is built on), and the large number is the finished spread. A 10″ ring gives you roughly a 20″ wreath; a 48″ ring gives you roughly a 6-foot wreath. If you are ordering for a door, a standard exterior door is about 36″ wide, so anything in the mid-range will read as a full door wreath, while the largest sizes are better suited to a barn, storefront, or event space.
Because these are hand-made, expect the finished dimensions to vary slightly from the ring size. If an exact fit matters — say, a wreath that must sit inside a specific frame or arch — say so when you order rather than assuming the nominal size is exact.
Decoration types beyond the standard wreath
The novelty list covers several distinct categories, and it helps to sort them by where they go:
Door and entry pieces
- Mail box huggies — built to wrap a mailbox post
- Kissing balls — spherical hanging pieces, traditionally hung in a doorway
- Swags and sprays — vertical or diagonal arrangements for doors, mantels, and railings
Table and interior pieces
- Table toppers — smaller arrangements sized for a table surface
- Table center pieces — the larger, center-of-table version
Seasonal and memorial pieces
- Candy canes — shaped decorations in the traditional hook form
- Crosses — religious-shaped pieces
- Cemetery pieces — designed for placing at a grave site
That last group is worth flagging if you have not seen it before: cemetery pieces are a real category in this business, and they are usually built flatter and more weather-stable than a door wreath. If you are ordering one, mention the intended placement so it is built for standing up to outdoor exposure rather than hanging on a protected door.
How this fits with the Christmas tree side
The decorations are part of the same Christmas experience as the trees, and the tree operation has a narrow window. For 2026, tree sales open Friday, November 27th and run through Sunday, December 13th, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only, 9:00 am–5:00 pm. The location is 124 Clinton Road, Jordan, NY 13080-9785.
The tree process itself, for context on how the farm runs its Christmas side:
- Choose & cut — the farm provides hand saws, and you walk the 34-acre property to pick and cut your own tree.
- Pre-cut trees — available in many varieties, cut fresh each weekend for anyone who would rather not cut their own.
- Transport — tree carts and tree sleds are provided to move trees from the field to the barn.
If you are planning to buy wreaths or decorations in the same trip, the practical move is to ask about them when you arrive or contact the farm ahead of your visit, since the decoration side is custom work and the tree window is only about three weekends long. A custom piece ordered during a busy weekend may not be ready the same day.
What to decide before you order
- Size: Decide whether you need a ring size or a finished diameter, and give the farm the measurement that matches your space. Door, mantel, table, and grave-site placements all call for different proportions.
- Type: Standard wreath, or one of the novelty shapes (candy cane, cross, kissing ball, swag, spray, cemetery piece, table topper, center piece, mail box huggie).
- Placement and exposure: Indoor versus outdoor changes how the piece should be built, especially for cemetery pieces and anything facing weather.
- Timing: The tree season is short and weekend-only. If you want decorations for a specific date, order early enough that custom work is not squeezed against the December 13th close.
One thing the available information does not cover is pricing for wreaths or decorations. The site has a pricing page, but no figures are given here, so treat cost as something to confirm directly rather than estimate. The same goes for turnaround time on custom orders — the farm describes the work as hand-made and custom-designed, which implies lead time, but no specific lead time is stated.
