Choose your Christmas tree.
Choose a Fraser, balsam or Canaan fir, from tabletop size to trees over 15 feet. Taller trees grow farther from the parking area; contact the farm before visiting if you need help with limited mobility.
Precut racks are replenished nearly every day during the season. Field prices are described as approximately $60 rather than a fixed charge for every tree; precuts start at $30 and are marked individually.
The farm says it does not use pesticides. Once home, brush off loose snow or grass, cut a fresh half-inch from the trunk base, place it straight into water and check the water daily.
