FAQ's
When is the best time to visit the farm?
Our Christmas tree season begins the week before Thanksgiving and ends December 9th. If you can, come on a weekday--you'll avoid the crowds. Remember that days are short, so you should plan to cut your tree by 4:30 p.m.
What should I bring?
We provide saws for cutting down your tree. Available trees are tagged. Be sure to bring sturdy shoes, warm clothes, and gloves
What are Tagged Trees?
Please only cut tagged trees. Tagged tress are treated for moths and ready to put in your home. We have ornamental trees and trees for propagation that are not tagged. Please do not cut down a tree without a tag.
How do I choose a Christmas tree?
It is best to measure your space to make sure that the tree you cut will fit in your home. Take note of how many “good sides” you will need. A tree placed in the corner of a room needs fewer good sides than a tree placed in the middle of a room.
Is there a special way to cut the tree down?
No. We will put a fresh cut on the tree. We will also drill a hole that will fit our tree stand that can be purchased separately. We also shake the tree to remove dead pine needles and pollen.
Do I need a tree stand?
We offer a Christmas Tree Stand with a 1 Gallon water reservoir. It can hold a tree up to 10 feet tall. Tree stands are available for purchase at our farm.
How do I transport my tree home?
Most of our customers tie their trees onto roof racks, or put their trees in the back of their pick-up trucks. We provide netting and twine.
What do I do when I get the tree home?
Before bringing the tree into your house, it's a good idea to hose it off to remove dust and pollen.
Can I bring my pet?
We ♥️ animals, but for everyone’s safety, we kindly ask that you leave your pets at home. Our farm has free-ranging livestock, and introducing outside animals could create stress or safety concerns for both your pets and ours.
How do we pay?
We prefer cash or Venmo. Visa and Mastercard are also accepted, with a 3% processing fee.
