Jones Family Farms — Barnyard Village and Candy Cane Hill

Reservations, parking and tree help

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 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.

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.

Terrain, dogs and gathering rules

Wear sturdy warm footwear and layers for rocky, uneven hillsides. Strollers or wagons can help with children. Accessible parking is available in the Barnyard, but its surface is unpaved and uneven and weather affects wheelchair use; that does not establish access throughout the tree fields.

Well-behaved dogs must remain leashed on paths, with cleanup, and cannot enter the winery, gift shop or wreath barn. Simple snacks by the car are allowed; outside food is excluded from the Barnyard Courtyard and main bonfire. No tailgate parties, tents, chairs, picnic blankets, ball play, smoking/vaping or alcohol outside the winery. Follow the FAQ’s no-cooking rule and check directly if unsure: another parking page contains contradictory cooking wording. Children under 13 need an adult, and visitors carry out rubbish. Drones, professional photography and outside vendors are prohibited by the farm guidelines.

Tree questions after purchase

The farm offers help with tree concerns and an exchange policy. The tree-care page gives treequestion@jonesfamilyfarms.com for tree issues. The linked concern form is closed and directs concerns to farmer@jonesfamilyfarms.com. Ask the farmer about your particular tree rather than assuming an automatic refund. Keep a freshly cut trunk in plain water and use a stand large and sturdy enough for the tree.

Match the tree to your decorations

The farm’s variety guide helps narrow the field search, but the greeter’s day-by-day advice matters when one variety or height is essential. Candy Cane Hill has limited Fraser quantity and height; balsam is the farm’s suggested similar alternative.
