Choose your Christmas tree.
Choose a balsam fir in the field or browse precuts, with trees ranging from 2 to 20 feet. You may tag a tree during open hours and return to cut it later.
Prices depend on height. The posted 10-foot boundary overlaps two bands, so ask which price applies before cutting. Tree and greenery prices include sales tax; maple-product tax is not established by that separate price heading.

Plan a winter field search
Complimentary cocoa and a campfire give the outing a warm-up stop. When there is enough snow, bring your own sled, snowshoes or cross-country skis for the search; these are weather-dependent options rather than supplied equipment.
Before you go.
- Cash and checks are accepted; cards are not.
- The price bands overlap at 10 feet; ask the operator which band applies to your tree.
