Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is considered appropriate attire when visiting your tree farm?
A: Due to the natural terrain of the landscape, we highly recommend wearing sneakers or hiking shoes while traversing the farm. Long pants are advisable, in addition to warm weather gear in the colder months (picking your perfect tree can be a lengthy process)!
Q: How long does it take to grow a Christmas tree?
A: There are many factors that can affect the growth of an evergreen tree, including (but not limited to) nutrients in the soil, drainage of the land, pest damage, and available light. Trees usually grow about 12 inches per year; so, it takes approximately 6 years to achieve a 6ft tall tree.
Q: Can we tag our tree ahead of time?
A: Unfortunately, we do not offer pre-tagging services.
Q: Do you sell pre-cut Christmas trees?
A: We have many pre-cut trees available for sale during both daylight and evening hours.
Q: Do you sell trees that we can plant in our yard after the Holiday Season?
A: We grow concolor fir, canaan fir, and serbian spruce trees in 5gal, 10gal, and 15gal pots for your post-season planting convenience. Please call ahead for this service.
Q: Do we need to bring our own saw/can we bring a chainsaw?
A: For liability purposes, we only allow the use of manual handsaws on our farm. We will provide these for you, and we ask that you do not bring your own chainsaw.
Q: Is there someone there who can cut the tree for us?
A: We always have a friendly staff member on hand to assist you in cutting your tree.
Q: Do you bale the trees and provide twine?
A: Yes! We provide complimentary baling services and twine.
Q: Can we picnic on your farm?
A: Absolutely! We have picnic tables on site; feel free to bring a blanket and a lunch during our regular hours of operation! Enjoy!
Q: What types of trees are available at your farm?
A: We sell serbian spruce, balsam, blue spruce, frasier fir, white pine, concolor fir, white spruce and canaan fir. We offer cut-your-own, potted and precut trees.
Q: We noticed some trees have tags or ribbon on them; are these available to cut?
A: Yes! We mark trees throughout the year for various purposes (i.e. to indicate deer damage); however, these trees are still available for cutting.
Q: Do you use any type of pesticide on the farm?
A: Due to the abundant wild-life on the farm, we mostly use a natural means of pesticide on our trees. In the spring, we release thousands of lady bugs and hundreds of praying mantids in an attempt to naturally decrease pests that might cause harm to our trees.
Q: Can we have your fresh-baked cookie recipe?
A: Sorry, but the cookie recipe is a family secret that has been handed down to us! We promise to keep on baking cookies for you each year!
