Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill Christmas Trees
Start at the Apple Barn, borrow a saw and ride a wagon into Blake’s Christmas tree fields. Staff brings the chosen tree back separately and prepares it while you enjoy the Cider Mill market or something warm to drink. A pre-cut lot offers a shorter tree-shopping stop at this Armada location.

The farm visit.
The wagon trip and tree pickup
Pick up a complimentary saw at the Apple Barn, then take the wagon into the tree fields; cars and pets do not enter the cutting area. Staff can help with the choice, tag the tree and bring it back separately. Shaking, baling and drilling are free, and payment and pickup are at the Tree Lot.
Monday–Thursday tree offers
The posted weekday promotion takes 10% off a Christmas tree and includes one hot cider per tree purchase. A tree purchase also qualifies for a free appetizer at the Armada Tasting Room when you spend at least $20 dining ; the Party Pretzel and Appetizer Platter are excluded. These offers apply Monday–Thursday.
A separately booked Santa visit
The posted Santa Experience runs on selected dates from November 22 through December 21. Admission includes a Santa visit and photo opportunity, one doughnut and a cup of cider or hot chocolate, a letter or wish-list drop-off, a toy and children’s crafts. Santa’s Workshop has toys and games for the wait.
Everyone attending needs a ticket, including adults and siblings; children age two and younger enter free with a paying adult. Reserve a day and time slot separately from tree shopping. Visits within the chosen slot are first come, first served, and walk-ins are not guaranteed. Families may take their own photos; staff can help take a group picture, but extra posing time is not included.
Optional Purchase Protection costs extra, covers qualifying unforeseen circumstances under its terms and exclusions, and must be added during checkout; it cannot be added later.
| Month | Visit days |
|---|---|
| November | November 22–23 and 28–30. |
| December | Saturdays and Sundays before Christmas. |
The Cider Mill and an outdoor visit
The Farm Market, Bakery and Grill sell cider, doughnuts, pies, jarred goods and hot meals. The family-friendly Tasting Room is another dining option. These purchases are separate from the tree, except for the qualified weekday offers.
Parking is free. Measure your ceiling and allow for the tree stand before choosing a height. Bring warm layers and shoes for wet or muddy ground. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, and pets cannot visit the Orchard & Cider Mill. The farm’s listed service-animal exception applies. Seasonal Funland admission is a separate purchase, with its own operating dates.
