Dates & hours.
Tree season: Opens the day after Thanksgiving
Friday–Sunday 9am–5pm
Choose your Christmas tree.
A wagon ride takes you to the fields, where the crew points out the best places to look for the size, shape and variety you want. Saws are supplied, and staff can cut the tree if you are unable to do so. Field choices include balsam, Canaan and Fraser fir and white pine; the pre-cut selection also includes spruce.
Once the tree is down, the farm brings it and your group back to the warming area. Shaking and fastening to your vehicle are free; baling is available for a small fee. Delivery and setup are separate paid services.

The farm visit.
Stay a little longer
The field bonfire has seating and picnic tables for an outdoor pause. In the warming house, enjoy free coffee while children receive a colouring book and candy cane, then browse crafts made by local people. Pets are welcome.
If you forget your camera, the farm offers digital photographs on request. Ask the crew how to arrange them during your visit.
Getting to the farm
From Highway 29, take County Road J north for about six miles. The farm also publishes approaches from County Roads N and Z and Highway 52. Ask directly about the route and assistance you need if access is a deciding factor for your group.
Assistance and separate services
The operator describes its visitor facilities as accessible and offers staff cutting if you cannot cut the tree yourself. Contact the farm about the particular field route, boarding or facility assistance you need before choosing a visit.
Delivery, tree setup and baling are separate services for a small fee. The farm can also refer shoppers to local people who trim and decorate trees; that is a separately arranged service.
A Trees for Troops donation option is arranged before Thanksgiving: a $20 donation provides an additional tree for a military family, with $5 directed to the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation. Arrange it with the farm in advance rather than treating it as an ordinary take-home tree price.
