Santa's Woods Christmas Tree Farm
An 80-acre family tree farm in Summit Point, in Jefferson County, where the Shultz family grows Canaan, Balsam, Douglas and Concolor fir, White pine, Norway spruce and Colorado blue spruce. Walk the fields, choose any tree you like and cut it yourself with the farm's hand saw; every tree costs the same $125, and each one is shaken and wrapped before it goes home. Hayrides out to the fields are free when the weather allows, and a stone fire pit with hot chocolate, a big wooden swing, a sleigh and a wagon for photos, handmade wreaths and pre-cut trees round out the visit.

Find your tree
Choose your Christmas tree.
The Shultz family grows Canaan fir, Balsam fir, Douglas fir, Concolor fir, White pine, Norway spruce and Colorado blue spruce on the farm, all from trees they planted themselves. Whichever you choose, the field price is the same $125 for any variety, size or shape, so you can pick the tree that suits your living room rather than your budget. The spruces are beautiful, with heavy branches, but they hold their needles less well than the firs and pines; the farm suggests spruce for a display of less than three weeks, and their needles are sharp.
Pre-cut trees are on hand too, each one marked with its own price, which depends on the tree and its size. The farm does not have balled trees at this time. To keep a cut tree fresh, give it a fresh cut at the base if it has been more than a couple of hours since it was cut, start with warm water in the stand, water every day, keep it away from heat, and a humidifier helps; if you have a water softener, use a different water source.

If you would rather not bring your tree out yourself, the farm will gladly pick it up and meet you back at the barn. All trees are shaken and wrapped. Every field-grown tree is $125, whatever the variety, size or shape.

Tree varieties, pre-cuts and prices
All of the farm's field-grown trees are the same price. Pre-cut trees are priced individually, so the number on the tag depends on the tree and its size.
A tree is typically seven to ten years from transplant to harvest, and the family hand-plants 2,000 to 3,000 new trees every spring.

Hayrides, hot chocolate and photo spots
Hayrides out to the fields are free, and the wagon runs as long as the weather permits. There is a stone fire pit to sip hot chocolate beside, and a massive wooden swing to try.
The farm has plenty of places to pose, with sleighs, wagons and Christmas trees. A photographer is often on the farm during the season taking complimentary photos, and family snapshots are welcomed and encouraged. If you would like a family photo and do not have a photographer, let the farm know and it will put you in touch with one of its farm photographers. Professional photographers are not allowed on the farm while it is open to the public.

Photographer sessions before the season
Professional photographers are not allowed on the farm while it is open to visitors. If you want a professional photographer to shoot your family here, book a time ahead of the season: sessions can be scheduled up until Thanksgiving Day, which is before the trees go on sale. A session is a separate paid booking, apart from buying a tree.
Families and photographers sign a liability waiver before taking photos, and the farm recommends that photographers share a copy of their liability policy when they book.

|---|---|---|
| Half-hour session | $40 per family | 30 minutes; booked ahead. |

The farm, the family and contacts
Santa's Woods is a family-owned farm run by Brandi and Steve Shultz and their children, who planted the first trees by hand and built the farm up from there. The land is mowed about twice a month in spring and summer instead of being treated with weed chemicals.
Call the farm at (304) 279-3310 with questions, wreath orders and cemetery wreath orders, or for updates on days when the weather may change the plan.
