Choose your Christmas tree.
The current offering list names field Scotch pine, Balsam and Canaan fir, subject to availability. Pre-cut Balsam fir from a northern Wisconsin family farm is individually priced in a published three-to-eleven-foot range.
The price chart also names blue spruce and white pine in its needle-type groups; confirm those varieties rather than treating the price examples as an availability promise.

The farm visit.
Choose the tree and buying method
Walk the rolling fields for a choose-and-cut tree or select a pre-cut Balsam fir. Short-needle field trees have two price bands below nine feet, with taller trees individually marked; the long-needle group has a single published price at any height. Tax is additional.
Hand saws are provided. Power saws and axes are not allowed, and the farm does not provide field cutting or carrying assistance. Plan your group and transport accordingly.
Preparation and the trip home
Tree shaking and baling are free where the tree’s size permits. Twine is provided. Staff can assist at the vehicle, but they cannot tie a tree to the roof; securing the load is the customer’s responsibility. Cash and credit/debit cards are accepted, with a $4 fee per card or electronic transaction.
Fresh decorations and a wreath class
Fresh handmade wreaths, centerpieces, door swags and kissing balls can be preordered, including for customers unable to attend the selling weekend. Wreaths are also offered onsite while available.
The separate decorate-your-own wreath class takes place November 21, before the tree-selling weekend. Choose a ten-to-noon or noon-to-two session; check-in begins up to ten minutes beforehand. Each ticket includes one fresh pre-made wreath in the selected size, one standard handmade bow, decorating supplies and unlimited hot chocolate. Extra add-ons can be bought during the class.
Tickets must be bought by November 16, are required to attend and are nonrefundable. The current booking link below identifies the correct class; Santa’s separate tree-weekend visiting time is still to be announced.
| Wreath size | Ticket price | Session choice |
|---|---|---|
| 12-inch wreath | $40 | November 21, 10 a.m.–noon or noon–2 p.m. |
| 24-inch wreath | $65 | November 21, 10 a.m.–noon or noon–2 p.m. |
Pets and the selling schedule
Pets are not allowed, with service dogs excepted. Tree sales take place November 27–29, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; choose-and-cut fields close an hour earlier at 4 p.m. Keep those different cutoffs in mind if arriving later in the day.
Tree supplies and photography
Tree stands, disposal bags, vehicle trunk liners and trays to catch stand spills are sold separately. Waterproof or winter boots are the farm’s suggested footwear for the fields.
Photographers must arrange a time at least one week in advance. A photography fee applies, and the farm says it doubles that fee for an unarranged arrival. Contact the farm for the actual charge and availability; a normal tree purchase is not a professional photo-session booking.
Before you go.
- No pets except service dogs.
- No power saws or axes.
- Staff cannot cut or carry the tree from the field or tie it to a roof.
