Find your tree
Choose your Christmas tree.
The farm grows its Scotch pines in the field, and you can walk through the rows to find the tree that is just right for your family. Once you have picked one, the farm team cuts it, shakes it and nets it. Sap is natural on a fresh-cut tree, and gloves can make handling it easier.
Fresh pre-cut Fraser and Balsam firs are also on hand. Sizes, quantities and varieties vary through the season, from tabletop Fraser trees to tall Balsams. The farm does not take advance reservations or hold trees, so come during open hours to choose from what is available.
