The farm visit.
Tagging, cutting and collecting
Only designated tagging fields are available; unmarked growing fields are held for future seasons. Have an Exley’s employee tag the tree and pay before cutting. Customer cutting is allowed with a bow saw only, with no power saws.
For a tagged tree pickup, submit the pickup request at least three days ahead. Netted trees can be tied to a vehicle with sisal rope; the operator disclaims responsibility for vehicle damage. For a living tree, choose the pre-dug balled-and-burlapped stock: personally selected field trees are not dug. Leashed dogs are welcome with cleanup, and no flocking is offered.
Gingerbread Land and the holiday market
Weekend activities begin November 28, 10am–4pm, and include the Harvest to Holiday Market, Gingerbread Land, Santa, games, photo props, antique tractors, a fire pit, visits with donkeys Jack and Jill, and a children’s scavenger hunt with prizes. Santa continues through the December 19–20 weekend, weather permitting. The farm also lists an indoor holiday train display.
The tractor-pulled sleigh through Christmas scenes to Gingerbread Land requires an appointment. The operator posts a $5-per-person activity figure after this description; confirm the exact inclusions and sleigh arrangement before paying or planning a visit around it. Wreaths, roping, grave blankets and custom greenery are sold separately.

Photography and arranged visits
Professional photographers must email exleyfarms525@gmail.com for the Monroeville branch’s terms before arranging a session. Ordinary family photo settings do not confer permission for professional sessions.
Spring, summer and fall events can be arranged at Monroeville through exleyfarms525@gmail.com. Confirm the specific event and seasonal availability directly; those arranged-event descriptions do not establish a winter party package.
Separate online tree-request option
Exley’s shared online request form lists Norway spruce, Douglas fir, blue spruce, Canaan fir, Turkish fir and concolor fir. The form does not identify a branch or season year. Confirm the collection branch, current price and availability of the species and height you want; these online options are not a guarantee of walk-in prices or field stock at this branch.
Submitting a request does not confirm an order and requires no initial payment. The form says the farm will call to confirm availability and send an email receipt within 24 hours. Pay by Venmo after confirmation rather than treating the request itself as a reserved tree.
Delivery is arranged and quoted separately. If requesting it, you will be contacted by Caleb Hoffman’s delivery service to confirm pricing and details. Delivery is paid in cash or by Venmo on delivery, separately from the tree-payment confirmation process.

Compare the online-request tree choices
The online form supplies the following choice guidance for its named options. Judge the individual tree and confirm its current availability; these descriptions do not promise that every species or height is ready at both farms. For Norway spruce, the form advises an indoor stay of about three weeks, which is planning advice rather than a guaranteed period of freshness.
| Online option | Published choice description |
|---|---|
| Norway spruce | Short dark-green needles and sturdy branches; farm recommends about three weeks indoors |
| Douglas fir | Medium-green needles of medium length and mid-weight branching; the form describes longer indoor keeping, without a freshness guarantee |
| Blue spruce | Sharp needles and stiff branches for heavy ornaments |
| Canaan fir | Dark-green needles, fragrance and medium-stiff branching; the form describes lasting well indoors, without a freshness guarantee |
| Concolor fir | Citrus scent and softer medium-to-long needles |
| Turkish fir | Listed online option; ask the farm about the available tree’s characteristics |
