The farm visit.
Choose the buying format before reserving
The Christmas trees occupy about twenty acres of the larger farm. A field-cut tree, a pre-cut Fraser fir and a dug living spruce need different selection and pickup arrangements. Use the farm’s appointment process and discuss the type of tree you want when choosing a visit.
Reserve one admission for your family through the linked booking page. Admission is $6.20 including the mandatory fee; showing the ticket on your phone at checkout gives a $5 credit toward farm purchases. Choose an available arrival time for the selected selling date.
The Cotton Run Road location
The visitor farm is on Cotton Run Road between Trenton and Oxford. Use 4427 Cotton Run Road for the trip; the membership address is not the tree entrance.
Nativity, gifts and treats
The reserved Christmas season also advertises a live nativity, holiday gifts and treats. Leave time to look around alongside choosing the tree; purchases beyond the admission credit are separate.
Preparation and greenery
The Ohio Christmas Tree Association’s matched farm listing includes tree shaking and baling, tree bags, wreaths and evergreen roping, along with a gift shop and refreshments. It does not state that these services or purchases are included in the tree price; ask the farm for any separate charges.
