Choose your Christmas tree.
Browse the white-tagged trees for Balsam, Canaan or concolor fir, white pine, or the listed Black Hills, blue and Serbian spruces. Selection varies each season. The farm recommends cutting spruce within three weeks of Christmas.
A white tag identifies the species, height and individual price. Untagged trees are not for sale; cutting one brings an additional $25 charge. Posted height bands are estimates, with age, quality and tree type also affecting the tag price. Sales tax is extra.

The farm visit.
Reserve the arrival window
Appointments are offered on Black Friday and weekends during the short selling season, on a first-come basis. Choose a three-hour morning or afternoon arrival window. The farm estimates that the tree visit itself takes around an hour; the window helps manage parking and tree availability.
A barn stop after the trees
Every appointment includes free hot cocoa and popcorn, with nativity-book readings for children. Handmade wreaths, real tabletop trees, s’mores, homemade baked goods and local art and crafts are available to purchase in the barn. Keep those purchases separate from the complimentary refreshments.
Payment and tags
Cash, checks and cards are accepted. A credit-card purchase below $5 has a $1.50 transaction fee. Check the white tag before cutting: unmarked trees are being kept for later harvests, and the untagged-tree charge is additional to the tree cost.
