Choose your Christmas tree.
Helvetia offers Noble, Grand and the farm’s Turkish/Nordmann selection, generally 5–9 feet tall. Compare the closely trimmed shapes with natural, untrimmed trees before choosing; freshly pre-cut trees are also offered.
U-cut trees have a flat $75 price with free shaking. The price panel lists baling separately at $5, so allow for that handling charge when planning your tree purchase.

The farm visit.
A little North Pole in Helvetia
The operator’s published festival program and selected weekends belong to the previous season; use them to understand the visit, then confirm the new season’s activity schedule before traveling.
The tractor train and field tree pickup help connect the tree search with the rest of the farm. Santaland adds a sleigh ride simulator and North Pole laser show; the snow machine supplies artificial flurries rather than a promise of winter weather.
Warm up with cocoa or roast complimentary marshmallows at the open fire. Children can enjoy model trains and farm animals, including pig feeding. Santa appearances are limited to Saturdays and Sundays.
| Offering | What to know |

| Tree preparation | Free shaking; baling listed at $5 |
| Santa | Saturday and Sunday appearances |
| Festive features | Tractor train, sleigh simulator, laser show and artificial snow |
Wreaths and local gifts
The holiday shop combines lavender products, handcrafted goods, Christmas décor and local vendors. Handmade wreaths are $35–$45; the farm says wreath-sale proceeds support Samaritan Ministries in Ukraine.
Dogs are welcome, and payment can be made with cash, check or credit/debit card. The shop’s selected opening weekends offer a useful anchor for planning the farm outing.
The home-page feature list also mentions an art workshop. Check the farm’s activity information before planning a craft session: the detailed activity page does not publish a workshop timetable, fee or participation conditions.
