Paul Bunyan’s cut-your-own trees are available through its advance tagging season, which opens September 5. The farm provides ribbons, a named tag and a map; an average 6–8-foot tree is $91 plus tax with a minimum $10 deposit. Fraser and concolor are the main field varieties, with concolor limited. Tagging can end early when the annual allocation is reached.
Large field trees around 9–20 feet are individually priced from $100–$400, with exceptional size or quality priced separately. Staff harvest these larger trees on the arranged morning. For an ordinary tagged tree, the farm supplies a saw and cart when it is time to collect it; harvest is available daily except Thanksgiving, fields close at 4pm and tagged trees must be collected by December 20.
Precuts displayed in a lighted area run about 5–14 feet and are individually priced, with the posted range from $32.99–$298.99 and exceptional trees priced separately. The farm can hold a selected tree for later pickup. Early selection is advised because both field and precut supplies are limited.
The farm describes Fraser as soft, dark green to bluish, with branches suited to heavier ornaments. Concolor is also soft, with blue-toned needles and a pronounced citrus scent, but its supply is limited. During tagging you may decorate the selected field tree with your own special ornaments; keep the farm’s named tag and harvest arrangement clear.

The farm visit.
Handling, payment and your vehicle
After field harvesting, staff remove loose brown needles, refresh the base, prune lower branches, net the tree and tie it on or into the vehicle. Heavy trees cannot be lifted onto SUVs: the farm specifically asks customers buying these to bring a pickup truck.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover are accepted. Dogs must stay in the car. Professional photography requires Susan’s permission and a separate fee.
The barn, greenhouse and custom greenery
The rustic barn and warm greenhouse carry ornaments, bells, lanterns, lighted jars, gifts and holiday decorations. Double-sided balsam wreaths are listed in 12-, 14-, 16-, 18-, 24-, 30-, 36- and 48-inch sizes; plain-bow and more decorated choices are offered, alongside specialty west-coast greens.
Garlands can be cut to size and bought by yard or coil. Bough bundles include Fraser and balsam fir with other decorative greens; staff can coordinate wreaths, baskets, swags and kissing balls. For custom winter arrangements or refreshing a saved container, enquire around mid-November and allow about a week: the order book fills quickly and greens and labor are charged separately from reused decorations.
Remembrance pots and logs
Remembrance arrangements start at$21.99 in 6-inch pots or 8- and 12-inch logs. They contain farm greens, a handmade bow, waterproof red berries, cones and statice, with other additions by request. Cemetery pieces are available before Thanksgiving. Allow at least a week for a special order so the farm can prepare it for the intended day.
