River Crest’s holiday program offers choose-and-cut Christmas trees with an undated posted price of $70. The farm grows trees alongside its wider family-farm operation; specific tree varieties, heights and handling arrangements should be agreed before cutting. A current operator announcement says holiday shopping returns after Thanksgiving.
The holiday shop’s distinctive offering is greenery made on the farm: plain or decorated wreaths, larger wreaths ordered in advance, evergreen and corn-husk gnomes, gnome grapevine wreaths and porch pots. These make the visit useful even when the choice is a wreath or arrangement rather than a field tree.

The holiday decoration bar
Choose one regular plain wreath, a large porch pot or a gnome on a grapevine wreath, then add a handmade bow in your chosen ribbon and up to twelve items from the decoration bar. It runs during holiday retail hours while supplies last. Large groups cannot be accommodated during ordinary opening hours; ask about separate arrangements. A package price is not posted.

Greenhouse wreath and gnome workshops
The farm has previously hosted separate evening workshops in its greenhouse, using greens from its own trees. The past-events page lists a $45-per-person wreath-decorating session with a handmade farm wreath, decorations and guidance, and a $55 evergreen-gnome session using farm-grown branches and accessories.
Those workshops are listed as past events, without a renewed holiday booking date. They are separate from the walk-in decoration bar and ordinary tree purchase; ask whether a new session is planned before arranging a group visit.
| Workshop | Earlier price and inclusion |
|---|---|
| Wreath decorating | $45 per person; handmade farm wreath, decorations and guidance |
| Evergreen gnome | $55 per person; farm-grown branches and accessories |
Plan the holiday stop
Use the Oronoque Road farm and current email to confirm holiday opening, tree stock, payment and cutting/transport arrangements. The summer Sunday farmstand hours do not describe Christmas shopping.
The Macri family describes organic pest-management practices and organic fertilizers, while explicitly stating the farm is not certified organic. That is the scope of the growing-method description, rather than a certification claim.
