Christmas tree farm guide
Christmas tree farms in Vermont.
Vermont offers snowy fir plantations, woodland tree searches and farm-market stops. Balsam and Fraser fir are common, with Canaan fir, spruce and pine at selected farms. These locations range from Bennington and the Champlain Valley to the Northeast Kingdom, with different ways to choose a tree and plan a holiday outing.
Choose your outing
Walk the fields and cut your own tree, ask staff to do the cutting, or shop a precut rack. Keep branches straight: Breezy Hill has two choose-and-cut plantations and a separate Newport stand. Farm markets offer a useful alternative to a field walk.
Compare tree prices
Some operators charge one price for any field tree; others price by height or mark trees individually. Tax, tall-tree bands and reservation packages matter. Russell’s wagon outing has a household price, while its South Lot uses separate per-tree pricing.
Check the visit plan
Opening days and cutting times vary, and tree fields may close earlier than shops. Sunnybrook requires an email appointment. Published seasonal schedules and prices may come from an earlier operator announcement; confirm remaining stock and the latest plan before traveling.
Bring your tree home
Check saws, sleds, netting and loading help before leaving. Warm boots and vehicle straps are useful on winter outings. Very tall Stowell trees require advance contact; Windy Acorn has special coppice-cutting instructions. Dogs and payment options differ by location.
