The last detailed calendar offered early-November weekend tagging at noon–4pm, appointments between tagging and Thanksgiving, closed Thanksgiving, then announced noon–4pm cutting weekends with weekday appointments and later visits by appointment. Those specific dated days have expired and the season later sold out; use that pattern only to plan what to ask about, not as a new opening calendar. Request the October notification list at farm@hopestill.com for future tagging information.
The last detailed calendar below later sold out and has expired. It shows how tagging, cutting weekends and appointments were arranged; obtain the next announcement before choosing a day. A tree could be cut on selection day or collected on an announced open weekend or appointment.
