- Old Time Christmas Tree Farm: pre-cut trees and extras (before tax): Folding saw · $25.99
- Every cut-your-own tree starts with a tree tag. Take a saw and a measuring stick, ride the wagon out to the field and walk the rows. Attach the tag to a bottom branch of the tree you want, leaving parts A and B attached and keeping part C with your number, then cut close to the ground, gently tilting the tree away from you, and do not cut off any bottom limbs. Catch a wagon back to the front.
- Leashed pets are always welcome, and complimentary doggie bags are at the entrance; pets can ride the train and the hayride but are not allowed in the petting zoo or the inflatables. The farm takes credit cards, cash, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and does not take checks for tree sales. All sales are final, and the farm cannot issue refunds. Smoking, alcohol, power saws, confetti and streamers are not allowed, and children need to stay with an adult. Closed-toe shoes are advised, since the field has uneven ground, ants and sharp saw blades. The farm does not offer flocking, potted trees or birthday parties, and it does not offer delivery, though some employees deliver after hours for a quote at the cashier.
