Frequently asked questions..
ARE YOU OPEN?
Not yet! In 2024 we will be open Friday-Sunday on November 29th through December 1st, and December 6th, 7th, and 8th from 9am to 3:30pm. We may have other weekends we open, but this is TBD with the weather and our inventory. Our inventory is primarily 5 foot and smaller trees. Please see our 2024 updates page.
ARE YOU OPEN FOR TAGGING FALL 2024?
Unfortunately, no. Due to high demand for trees and staffing limitations we have not had tagging since 2013. To keep things fair we will need to take down any decorations found on trees around the farm for the upcoming season.
DO I NEED A RESERVATION TO CUT A TREE?
You do not need a reservation or appointment time! We will be very busy on the weekends so if you are looking for a quieter time at the farm we recommend coming when we are open on Friday December 6th 9:00am to 3:30pm.
DO YOU HAVE 10+ FOOT TALL TREES?
Our inventory is primarily 5 foot and smaller trees. If you are looking for a taller tree and you have the time and energy to hunt you may find one, but we can't guarantee anything.
HOW MUCH ARE YOUR TREES?
Our trees are $85 (any size). We take checks or cash.
CAN I BRING MY DOG?
Yes! Leashed dogs are welcome at the farm. Please clean up after them.
WHAT'S YOUR SELECTION OF TREES LIKE THIS YEAR? WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR THE BEST TREE?
We have a nice selection of 5 foot and smaller trees, including concolor fir, balsam fir, fraser fir, and blue and white spruce. We can't point you in a certain direction, because all of our fields are interplanted so you will find trees of all shapes, sizes, and varieties in every direction.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TREE?
Since your tree is fresh cut it will last a long time. But, like a large bouquet of flowers it needs plenty of water daily as well as one package of tree preservative which we will give you. The preservative is a gel-like substance that keeps the tree moist between waterings- just be sure to keep it out of reach of kids and pets. See Our Trees page for more information.
WHAT TYPE OF TREE LASTS THE LONGEST?
Many people keep their tree up for over a month. Very warm homes, wood stoves or direct heat will shorten the life of your tree. Fir trees are shown to be better in those circumstances but spruce trees last a medium-long time with proper care since it is fresh cut.
WHAT TYPE OF TREE SMELLS THE BEST?
Smell is a personal preference. Different tree varieties have different smells, so crumple a few needles and take a whiff. The smell comes from the pitch which is most abundant under the water in the stand. To get your tree to smell more, take a pair of scissors and cut 1" pieces off the inner branches.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU SELL?
We have 24" & 36" mixed greens decorated wreaths, 12" specialty wreaths with mixed greens and fresh ornamental plant materials. These wreaths come with a variety of bows, all others have red velvet bows, but any can be switched out if you ask an employee. We also have small decorations as well as mixed greens mailbox covers.
DO YOU DO TREE DRILLING OR SHAKING?
Sorry, no we do not.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
The kids, the dog, rope for tying down your tree (we provide baling twine for normal size trees), and a camera. We provide saws (no power saws please), sleds or the haywagon for tree retrieval, netting for normal size trees. Please be aware, we take cash or check only.
