Trees & sizesCut your own; Pre-cut trees; Living trees
  • Species: White spruce, Colorado blue spruce, Norway spruce, Serbian spruce, Fraser fir, Canaan fir, Concolor fir, White pine.
  • Fairview’s previously published season offered choose-and-cut trees up to 10 feet for $108 plus tax, with the saw and staff carrying, wrapping, loading and tie-on included.
  • Fields do not have trees taller than 10 feet for visitors to cut.
  • For a taller room, the precut range runs around 5–14 feet, with larger-tree enquiries arranged ahead.
  • The association’s field selection names white, Colorado blue, Norway and Serbian spruce; Fraser and Canaan fir, limited concolor fir, and white pine.
  • Ask which varieties and heights remain available rather than treating the full list as today’s stock.
  • The operator also lists living balled-and-burlapped Fraser fir, blue spruce, Norway spruce and white spruce.
  • Confirm current root-ball sizes and transport arrangements rather than treating these as part of the cut-tree price.
Cut your own; Pre-cut trees
  • Candy Cane Hill rises above Barnyard Village with more than 100 acres of tree fields.
  • The branch lists balsam and Douglas fir, blue spruce and white pine, with limited Fraser quantity and height.
  • The shared harvest guide also names white fir; ask the greeter where the day’s suitable stock is growing.
  • Very limited 11–12-foot trees can be scattered in harder-to-reach hilly areas, with no designated tall-tree block.
  • If you need a bigger or easier-to-handle choice, Barnyard Village sells farm-grown fresh-cut trees around 2–12 feet, priced by the foot.
  • The limited tram service depends on dry roads and weather, and staff do not retrieve trees from the fields.
  • The ornament history says the farm extended that offer in an earlier season to farm precuts over 6 feet; confirm the current offer for your chosen tree.
Cut your own
  • Its field page describes balsam fir, blue spruce, white pine and a larger concentration of Fraser fir than Candy Cane Hill, with Douglas fir fields nearby across the road.
  • Trees up to about 10 feet are the usual branch offering; larger fresh-cut trees are at Barnyard Village.
  • On peak weekends the Valley has its own reservation and greeters at the red flags explain stock and tram arrangements.
  • Tree trams are limited to suitable weather and dry roads, and staff do not retrieve trees from the fields.

Shaking, baling & loadingSmaller firewood loads can be collected at the farm during operating hours, with staff loading while you wait. Larger seasoned hardwood orders have separate delivery arrangements. The published cord prices are cash on delivery; an additional delivery charge applies outside Shelton. Confirm the current order total and pickup payment method.Two main-location tree choices: Candy Cane Hill harvest-your-own · Arrive 9am–4pm; guest brings tree to collection/baling point
  • The previously published guide describes complimentary baling; confirm this season’s arrangements. Staff vehicle carrying/tying help depends on availability and can involve a wait, especially on busy weekends. Twine lets you secure the tree yourself if crew are unavailable. Precuts in the Barnyard are the practical choice if your group needs more assistance.

Reservations required on the three-day Thanksgiving weekend and first December weekend
  • Previously published: Saturday before Thanksgiving–December 24; closed Thanksgiving
  • Visit schedule: Previously published farm-wide season · Saturday before Thanksgiving–December 24; daily 9am–5:30pm, weather permitting; closed Thanksgiving
  • Visit schedule: Usual field-harvest arrival window · 9am–4pm; after 4pm choose a precut with staff
  • Visit schedule: Peak reservation days · Three-day Thanksgiving weekend and first December weekend; confirm released dates
  • Previously published farm-wide arrangements ran from the Saturday before Thanksgiving through December 24, closed on Thanksgiving Day, with daily hours of 9am–5:30pm, weather permitting. The published pattern requires reservations for the three-day Thanksgiving weekend and first December weekend. Other dates can have optional reservations for useful updates. The booking page still names the previous season, so use the current reservation release before choosing dates; the tree-specific page says changes up to two hours ahead, while the general weather page says one hour. Follow the conditions attached to the actual reservation and change it early.
  • Peak-day cars not buying a tree pay an extra vehicle fee attached to the family reservation. The FAQ describes a $50 Barnyard reservation deposit for non-tree visitors, credited to wreaths, garland or outdoor décor; confirm its new-season applicability. Cards and Apple Pay are accepted.
  • The general weather policy allows self-rescheduling through the confirmation email. Other cancellations, refunds or switches between farm locations have a $5 office fee if arranged before the reservation date; no-shows are not refunded. The farm usually opens in rain. If severe weather makes the farm close, it offers rescheduling or a full refund. Check the current tree booking’s timing because the general and tree-specific pages give different change cutoffs.
  • Two main-location tree choices: Peak-weekend visit · Reservation required for every car; non-tree charges/deposit need current confirmation

  • The shared harvest arrival window is 9am–4pm. Reservations are required on the peak weekends, but the booking page still carries the previous season’s year; check the newly released Valley product before setting a date. Cards including Apple Pay are accepted. The shared FAQ describes extra charges for peak-day cars not buying trees; confirm the current amount and scope.
  • The general weather policy allows self-rescheduling through the confirmation email. Other cancellations, refunds or switches between farm locations have a $5 office fee if arranged before the reservation date; no-shows are not refunded. The farm usually opens in rain. If severe weather makes the farm close, it offers rescheduling or a full refund. Check the current tree booking’s timing because the general and tree-specific pages give different change cutoffs.
