Cutting helpCut your own
  • Balsam Hill Farm: choose-and-cut and pre-cut trees: Saws and transport sleds · Provided
  • Balsam Hill Farm: choose-and-cut and pre-cut trees: Loading help and twine · Available; chainsaws not allowed
  • Take the short path through the birches and explore the fields. The farm provides saws and transport sleds, and loading help and twine for tying your tree are available; for insurance reasons chainsaws cannot be used. On dry days twine is supplied, and the farm suggests bringing your own straps or rope in case it runs out.
  • On weekdays through December 24, according to the state association’s listing, the farm sells pre-cut trees only, on the honor system. The choose-and-cut fields are closed on those days, and visitors are asked not to cut trees from the fields. As the farm described it last season, you pick a pre-cut tree and place the full amount in cash or check in the red honor box at the entrance to the pre-cut area; prices are as marked. The farm’s posts last season also listed Maine-made wreaths on these weekdays, while its entrance sign and this season’s listing say pre-cut trees only, so ask whether wreaths are available.
  • Saws and sleds provided; no chainsaws; well-behaved pets welcome.

  • Christmas season: Opening day, Friday, November 27 · 9am–4pm, from the state association’s listing; the farm opened at 10am on its first day in each of the last two seasons, so confirm the opening time
  • Christmas season: Saturdays and Sundays through December 20 · 9am–4pm; choose-and-cut and pre-cut trees (state association’s listing)

  • Christmas season: Weather delays · Posted on the farm’s website and its voice message
  • Every row above except weather delays is from the state association’s listing; the farm’s own site has not posted a schedule for this season. The farm’s home page shows an undated hours table that differs from this schedule. In each of the last two seasons the farm closed its choose-and-cut fields in mid-December and kept selling pre-cut trees; in one of those seasons it said the closure was to preserve enough crop. This is earlier than the listing’s weekends through December 20, so confirm this season’s dates with the farm.
  • The farm’s own website has not yet posted this season’s schedule. The Maine Christmas Tree Association’s listing for this season gives opening on Friday, November 27, then Saturdays and Sundays until December 20, 9am to 4pm, and weekdays until December 24 for pre-cut trees only using the honor system, adding that days open could change if the farm sells out. The farm’s home page shows a general hours table, Monday to Friday 10am–4pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am–4pm, with no date, which does not match that schedule. Weather delays are posted on the farm’s website and on its voice message. Use the listing’s schedule and confirm before a long drive. The listing gives 9am on opening day, while the farm opened at 10am on its first day in each of the last two seasons.
