Great Rock Farm, located in the heart of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, hosts an annual winter event that brings community, nature, and festive cheer together in a unique outdoor setting. On January 10th, 2026, this farm transforms into a lively gathering spot for the Goat's Christmas Tree Drop, a cherished tradition now in its 8th year. Visitors arrive with their donated holiday trees, which are repurposed to feed goats, sheep, and llamas, offering an up-close animal experience amid the cold air and crisp winter surroundings.
The farm's scenic open spaces serve as a natural stage for live music performances, creating an inviting atmosphere where families and friends can mingle, relax by a roaring firepit, and celebrate the season. The event emphasizes sustainability and community support, as proceeds benefit Emmaus, Inc., helping local families in need. Beyond the fun of watching goats and llamas interact with their new 'dining room,' guests can enjoy the rustic charm of Great Rock Farm’s expansive grounds, with plenty of space for children to run around and for visitors to soak in the farm’s rural beauty.
What makes this event special is its blend of outdoor recreation, community engagement, and environmental consciousness. It’s a perfect winter outing that combines the fun of farm animals with seasonal festivities, all set against the Vermont-like backdrop of the farm’s rolling hills. This event stands out in the Lehigh Valley for its warm atmosphere and focus on sustainability, making it an accessible, rewarding outdoor experience that supports a good cause.
Whether you're a local looking to give back or a visitor seeking a lively winter outing, the Goat's Christmas Tree Drop captures the spirit of community and nature-driven fun in a memorable way.
