The farm visit.
A wagon ride and tree handling
The detailed tree page offers free wagon rides to and from the fields every selling day while the fields are open, with staff hauling your tree back. Handsaws, shaking and baling are provided.
Your tree is tagged and matched to a numbered receipt while you shop in the barn. The tree fields are unlit, so seeing trees becomes harder after sunset; the pre-cut area is lit.
Warm up in the Christmas barn
The spacious heated sales barn has indoor restrooms and free hot chocolate or coffee. Cider donuts are made on most days; fudge, kettle corn, cheesy corn and Chicago corn are sold on the farm.
Browse fresh wreaths, garland, greenery and bows, along with ornaments, jams, jellies, rustic wooden reindeer and locally made hats and mittens. Stock changes weekly. Custom greenery orders are available by advance arrangement.
Separate event room
The rentable event room is at the Adventure Farm branch, 909 English Prairie Road. November–August rentals start at $600 for up to four hours, with a capacity of 160 and tables and chairs included. The Adventure Farm activities and corn maze are closed during those months.
Before you go.
