The farm visit.
No Christmas admission charge
Entry for Christmas-tree shopping is free. The pre-cut selection offers an alternative to walking the field and harvesting a tree. Christmas sales operate from the Country Gift Shop behind the large red barn.
Weekend wagon rides to the tree fields
Wagon rides take visitors out to the Christmas-tree fields on weekends during the announced season. This transport is a different activity from the separately ticketed Lil’ Red Train.
| When | Activity |
|---|---|
| Weekends during November 28–December 14 | Wagon rides to the Christmas-tree fields |
Meet Santa in the Country Gift Shop
Santa greeted families in the Country Gift Shop on the first two Saturdays of the announced Christmas season. His visit hours are a separate window within the daily tree-shopping hours.
| Date | Hours |
|---|---|
| November 29 | Noon–3pm |
| December 6 | Noon–3pm |
Lil’ Red Train rides
The holiday Lil’ Red Train was offered as a separate paid attraction during the Christmas season. Purchase a ride ticket in the Country Gift Shop.
| Offer | Price |
|---|---|
| One holiday train ride | $6 |
Lighted nativity scene
The farm’s lighted nativity scene provides a Christmas display to look at during the visit. It is separate from Santa’s timed appearances and the paid train ride.
Greenery, donuts and the country gift shop
Fresh handmade wreaths and garland are sold alongside ornaments, holiday décor, homemade fudge and cider donuts. The Christmas food offer also includes hot spiced cider, cocoa and coffee. These are separate purchases rather than tree-price inclusions.
Tree services and cashless locations
Shaking, netting and flocking are offered. The farm primarily takes cards and Apple Pay; cash can be exchanged for a farm gift card at the entrance or Country Gift Shop for use at card-only locations.
Photos and the working-farm rules
Casual family photographs during business hours are welcome using a phone or camera in public areas, without props or entering closed fields. Portrait or commercial sessions require the online 2026 Photography Pass, priced at $175, a signed photo waiver, and an advance booking at least 24 hours ahead. The named pass cannot be shared. Check the booking arrangements for participants; photo sessions are separate from ordinary tree shopping.
Pets are prohibited; service animals are permitted. Rain does not automatically close the farm, but extreme wind, rain or standing water can stop activities. Keep out of areas marked for working machinery.
