Season dates.
Tree season: Thanksgiving–Christmas Eve
Choose your Christmas tree.
Start every Kenburn Christmas-tree purchase at the tree lot at 1400 Mohawk Trail, beside the Kuklinski Woodworking Shop. The farm offers precut balsam and Fraser fir about 3–10 feet, priced by size and quality, and field trees about 3–15 feet at one flat price; ask for the current amount. Field varieties include balsam, Canaan and Fraser. The broader variety page also lists concolor, blue spruce and a few Korean fir and Meyer spruce choices; the Fralsam crop is described as future stock, so do not expect mature Fralsam trees.
For choose-and-cut, collect a saw, sled and farm map at the lot. Staff point out parking and suitable fields, and a measuring stick helps check height before harvesting. The farm can trim a tree to fit your space; measure both height and width at home first.

The farm visit.
Pretagging and preparing the tree
Pretagging before Thanksgiving is arranged by appointment with prepayment. You may later cut the tree yourself, or arrange staff cutting for an additional charge. Confirm the harvest date and fee before reserving.
Staff shake the tree, trim the base and lower branches and net it for transport. Twine is provided, but securing the tree on your vehicle remains your responsibility. Cash, checks and charge cards are accepted, and tax is added. Leashed dogs are welcome.
The woodworking shop and weekend refreshments
Wreaths and roping are sold while available, together with stands and tree-bag skirts. The adjoining shop has gifts made from local wood; hot chocolate, coffee and homemade cookies are advertised on weekends. Check current hours and whether any refreshments carry a charge.
Tree sales run from Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve. The main farm and mailbox at 1394 Mohawk Trail serve other purposes; do not use the blueberry or bed-and-breakfast driveway as the tree check-in. Follow the operator’s directions because it warns of GPS errors.
Summer blueberries at the main farm
Blueberry picking is a separate summer visit at the main farm, with containers provided and fruit weighed for purchase. The published picking page offers Wednesday–Sunday 8am–5:30pm depending on weather and supply; call before travelling. Cash or checks only apply to blueberry sales.
Staff offer help for limited mobility on request and sitting buckets among the rows. Shoes and adult supervision are required; no restrooms are available. Pets are not allowed in the blueberry area. Bring sun and insect protection and check conditions before entering the exposed fields. This destination and payment policy are separate from Christmas check-in at 1400 Mohawk Trail.
