What activities do you have for kids?At our tree farm, the focus is really on getting out in nature and hunting for that perfect tree. For the young ones though, we do have Santa lists that they can fill out and drop in our North Pole Express mailbox, as well as candy canes for the way home. Kids also love to watch the tree shaker in action!
-
Do you have pre-cut trees?No, we are entirely a u-cut Christmas tree farm. If you need help cutting your tree, please let us know and we'll do our best to help.
-
Can we take our holiday photos at your farm?If you're working with a professional photographer, we would be honored to have you take your holiday photos at our Christmas tree farm—we simply ask that your photographer reserve a session online. If you're getting a tree, you are of course welcome to snap photos along the way. And we love to get tagged!
-
Do you shake and wrap our trees?Yes! Bring your Christmas tree to the lower field and our staff will shake it for free and/or wrap it for an additional $5.
-
What else do you sell?In addition to u-cut Christmas trees, we have tree stands, wreaths, and handmade ornaments. We also have hot apple cider and candy canes, but those are free of charge.
-
How big is your tree farm?We have roughly twelve acres of Christmas trees divided into three distinct fields—the lower field (the largest one, and also where we have apple cider and tree netting); the middle field (the smallest one, but a cozy feel and a fire burning in the warming hut); and the upper field (with the best views of Big Lake). Surrounding our tree fields is over ten acres of forested woodland, to add to that walk-in-the-woods feel. A loop road wraps through the property, and we have parking and other amenities at each tree field.
-
Can we bring our dog?Absolutely! We just ask that you keep them on a leash and clean up after them. We have poop bags on site if you need one.
-
Are you LGBTQ and transgender friendly?Absolutely. Everyone is welcome on our farm. If you experience anything less than complete warmth and inclusion, whether from our staff or our patrons, we hope that you will let us know.
-
Do you have restrooms?We do—you can find at least one wooden outhouse on each of our fields.
-
Are you open for the 2024 season?We are! But only for two weekends. Opening day is Friday, November 29, 2024 (the day after Thanksgiving). From there, we'll be open from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m on Friday, November 29 through Sunday, December 1, and Friday, December 6 through Sunday, December 8.
-
How much do your trees cost?We measure and price our trees by the half foot, with the price depending on the type of tree: Douglas-firs are $6 per foot ($36 for an average 6' tree) Grand Firs are $8 per foot ($48 for an average 6' tree) Norway Spruce are $8 per foot ($48 for an average 6' tree) Noble Firs are $10 per foot ($60 for an average 6' tree) Nordmann Firs are $10 per foot ($60 for an average 6' tree)
-
Can we bring our tree back?Yes, when you're all done with your tree for the season, you can bring it by the farm any reasonable time (no appointment needed) and drop it near the "recycle trees here" sign in our parking lot. Unless you're the first one, you'll probably see a pile of trees and you'll know you're in the right spot. At planting time, we put all the trees through our chipper and use the mulch to provide protection for our new seedlings. And yes, you can bring us trees that you bought at other farms, just no flocked trees or wreaths. Thank you so much!
-
Do you have 12 foot trees?Our specialty is Christmas trees in the 6 to 8 foot range. We do usually have a selection of taller trees, but they go fast so you'll want to be here opening weekend if not opening day. This year, our taller trees are mostly Nordmanns and Norway Spruce.
-
What do we need to bring?Picking up a tree at the last minute? No need to worry—we have plenty of saws available at each of our three tree fields, twine for tying your tree to your car, and even tree stands available for purchase.
-
Do you use sustainable growing methods?As the new owners (as of 2021), we are attempting to incorporate sustainable growing methods that respect the surrounding woodland, wetlands and water bodies—and the wildlife that live there—to the extent possible. We now hand pull rather than spray our trailing blackberry, practice integrated forestry techniques when maintaining our Christmas trees and the surrounding woodland, and use recycled and compostable products when available. Starting in 2022, we'll also be using wood chips around the base of the trees for weed control and (hopefully) water retention.
-
Can we use your tree farm for events?Yes, we are now a licensed event venue for mini-events (50 people or less)! Feel free to browse our website and then contact us if you want a tour!
-
Do you have free hot chocolate?For a variety of reasons, we have opted for hot cider from our local Cedardale Orchards rather than hot chocolate, but yes it is free—and quite flavorful and delicious!
-
Are your trees meticulously sheared?No, they are not. While we do spend time gently shaping our trees, we are all about the more natural look. We want our Christmas trees to look like something you might find during a walk through the woods. As a result, we also have a fair number of trees with extra "character"—and if that character gets out of hand, we offer a $10 off Charlie Brown discount.
