Choose your Christmas tree.
Walk the fields for a price-tagged fir, spruce or pine, or browse the lighted pre-cut selection. Trees eight feet and taller are in high demand; early tagging is particularly useful for an 8–10-foot field tree. Taller pre-cut trees are brought in from partner farms and sold in the large red barn near the road.
Every tree is priced individually. The published price page gives differing ranges of $35–$125 and $25–$180, depending on type and height, so use the actual tree tag to settle the price before choosing. A tree without a price tag, or bearing another customer’s sold tag, is unavailable.

The farm visit.
Early tagging and the return visit
At a ticketed early-tag event, find a staff member in the field to arrange the tag, then pay for your tree in the small red gift shop. Keep the paid tag and return during selling hours between Thanksgiving and Christmas; staff can help locate and cut your tree.
The October 17 Kaleidoscope Cares event runs 2–5pm, and November 8 Operation Evergreen tagging runs 3–5pm. Each event costs $26.90 including its mandatory fee and covers tagging one tree. Buy additional tree tickets in separate transactions. Both events advertise horse-drawn wagon rides, fall activities and a food truck; the tree purchase and food are separate.
Tree preparation and living choices
Staff shake, bale and tie purchased trees onto vehicles, with drilling for the tree stand sold at the farm when needed. Delivery is offered by arrangement. For a living tree, choose a pre-dug tree or allow at least five days for digging; the published tree range is $65–$100 plus a $30 digging charge.
The farm recommends keeping a balled-and-burlapped tree indoors for no more than three days. Confirm your tree’s preparation and pickup timing rather than treating a cut-tree visit and a dug-tree order as the same purchase.
Shuttles, trails and the gift shop
Horse- or tractor-pulled shuttles connect the tree fields, and hiking trails offer room for a longer walk. Outdoor restrooms and an outdoor payment station are advertised. The farm describes the first two December weekends as a quieter option, with smaller field trees more likely than the largest choices.
The gift shop carries candles, tree stands, homemade cookies and other goodies. Wreaths, roping, grave blankets and crosses extend the greenery selection; kettle corn is offered on weekends.
A separate October evening event
Haunted Trails is advertised for October 17, 7:30–11pm, after the afternoon tree-tagging event. The separately ticketed walk is about a mile through wooded trails and bridges with staged figures. Listed admission is $8; check the ticket’s final terms before buying. It is separate from the afternoon tagging ticket and tree purchase.
