Find your tree
Choose your Christmas tree.
Beech Ridge Farm sells one kind of tree, balsam fir, and one price covers any size. You can choose and cut your own tree in the field, or pick a pre-cut tree in the barn. The farm sets no height limit or minimum.
The farm asks you to bring your own saw, a hand saw or a battery reciprocating saw, along with cardboard, a knee cushion and a tarp to help cut and haul your tree. The farm’s pages do not list tree carts, shaking, baling, drilling or loading help.
You walk into the fields: the farm does not allow driving onto them.

Parking, field distance, terrain, restrooms and accessibility are not described on the farm’s pages, so ask at the farm. The farm posts the Maine agritourism notice about the inherent risks of farm activity.
Wreaths
The farm sells wreaths in a decorated version at $28.44 plus tax and an undecorated version at $18.96 plus tax. It has not published wreath sizes or described what the decoration includes.
