The farm visit.
A small farm with a warm welcome
Cut your own tree or ask the farm to cut your choice. The growers describe regenerative practices instead of herbicides and pesticides; the small scale and developing stock make the tree search the focus of the visit.
Cocoa, cider, coffee, candy canes and chocolates are complimentary. A weekday visit needs an appointment, while Friday and weekend hours are offered for the selling period after Thanksgiving and before Christmas.
