Choose your Christmas tree.
Tag a favourite tree ahead of cutting season by following the instructions on the barn. Larger field trees are limited, so the precut selection provides another option when a suitable tall tree is not available.
For cutting, borrow a hand saw or ask the farm to cut your selected tree. The prices distinguish field height bands from individual precut heights; the seasonal selling allocation can be reached before the advertised last day.
The farm visit.
Cider and holiday shopping
Hot cider is offered on weekends. Browse wreaths, garland, Christmas gifts and decorations in the shop.
Christmas activities for children
Leave a little time beside the tree search for the farm’s children’s activities. The scavenger hunt starts and finishes in the shop; Santa letters go to the barn mailbox.
| Activity | How to take part |
|---|---|
| Scavenger hunt | Ages 10 and under: collect a sheet in the shop, photograph each character and return to claim a prize |
| Letters to Santa | Post by December 1 in the barn’s North Pole mailbox; include a return address and a personal detail about your child |
Before you go.
- Dogs must be leashed; please clean up after them.
- Cutting can close before the advertised last day when the seasonal tree allocation is reached.
