Thanksgiving weekend
November 27–29 requires a nonrefundable $15 deposit toward the $85 tree. The 30-minute slot is a check-in window, with one vehicle included.
From November 30
First come, first served without reservations. Weekdays noon–4:30pm, weekends 9am–4:30pm; harvestable stock determines the choices.
Maple Lane’s choose-and-cut offering spans balsam, Fraser, Canaan and concolor fir on its tree acreage. The previously published cut-your-own offer is $85 including tax, regardless of height; confirm the current offer before paying. Availability still depends on the harvestable trees in the field; agree the selected tree and any special arrangements before cutting.
Handsaws are supplied; chainsaws and axes are not allowed in the fields. The farm provides transport from the field to the stand, shaking and baling, and free twine for you to tie the tree onto your car. Bring suitable tie-downs or bungee cords if you use them. The association also describes optional staff cutting and drilling; confirm those specific services when arranging the visit.

The holiday range includes decorated and undecorated wreaths, kissing balls, garland and tree stands. Tourism material also describes complimentary weekend cocoa and cookies; confirm that they are available on your selling day. Restrooms are listed by the association.
Cash, credit and debit cards are accepted. Parking is limited, so carpool where possible; a farther parking lot may be needed. Well-behaved dogs may accompany you in the fields on a leash, with cleanup, but are not allowed inside buildings.
The farm’s events barn and lodging have separate bookings. They are not inclusions in an ordinary tree purchase.
Compare the fir choices
Balsam is described by the farm as dense and dark green, with short, soft needles and a familiar fragrance. Canaan and Fraser have soft needles and firm branches; Fraser adds blue-green foliage with silvery undersides. Concolor, also called white fir, has longer soft needles, blue to silver-green coloring and a citrus-like aroma. Choose from the actual trees available rather than expecting every variety at every height.
