Joseph’s grows balsam, Douglas, Fraser and concolor fir, Norway, white and blue spruce, and also offers precut trees. Saws are supplied, wrapping is available and staff assistance is described. Ask which sizes and prices apply to the trees ready for sale before cutting.
The gift barn combines handmade Christmas crafts, tree stands, wreaths, garland, swags and accessories with a wood-burning stove and complimentary hot chocolate. Spanish service is offered. The farm’s field and shop make a combined tree stop, while its separately advertised year-round firewood is arranged by appointment.

Check the opening weekend
The association now posts an opening weekend before Thanksgiving on November 21–22, 10am–4pm, followed by Thanksgiving Friday–Sunday and later Friday–Sunday, 9am–4:30pm. Older operator text instead starts the Friday after Thanksgiving and uses weekends only. Confirm the coming calendar rather than assuming both describe the same season.
Before travelling to Kirk Road
Bring cash or a check; the farm mentions ATMs nearby rather than card payment on site. Restrooms are available. Call ahead in bad weather or late in the season because the farm may close or sell out. Use 208 Kirk Road for the tree visit; firewood by the trunkload or truckload is a separate arrangement.
