FAQ

Tree traditions, answered simply

What kind of payments do you accept?

We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, and tap-to-pay. Sorry, no checks.

How do I cut my own tree?

When you arrive, one of our team members will give you a hand saw and a farm map showing where each of the different varieties of trees is planted. Once you’ve chosen your perfect tree, cut it down and bring it to the checkout area. If you’re placing your tree inside your car, we sell large Christmas tree disposal bags to catch loose needles. We also provide twine to tie your tree to the roof of your car. TIP: If you want to take advantage of our tree shaking and netting/baling services, secure your tree to the roof of your car by running the twine through your car windows and have passengers hold tightly to the twine until you reach the pay shed.

Are pets welcome?

Yes! We know that pets are important members of the family, so they are welcome to come along and enjoy the fun as long as you pick up after them and keep them on a leash.

What should I bring along?

Even though our field roads are open for easy viewing from your car, you’ll likely be doing a lot of walking, so dress for the weather and wear sturdy boots! We provide twine, scissors, hand saws, and lots of friendly advice. Absolutely no chain saws or electric saws are allowed. If you plan to tie the tree to the top of your car, you may want to bring a blanket to put underneath it to prevent light scratching. Or, if you’ll be placing your tree inside your vehicle, you might want to bring along a large sheet to tie around it to avoid getting needles inside your car. For convenience, we sell large Christmas tree disposal bags at the red pay shed that are perfect for this purpose!

Is it bad for the environment to cut down a real Christmas tree?

Absolutely not! Today 98% of all Christmas trees are grown on Christmas tree farms. That means they’re grown like a farm crop, so the ones that get harvested this year are replaced by new seedlings next spring.

How long will a tree keep its needles?

This depends on many factors, such as tree variety, weather conditions, and cutting date. On average, a well-watered tree usually holds its needles for 4-5 weeks. Fraser Fir and Norway Pine tend to hold their needles the longest, while Scotch, White Pine, and Balsam average 3-4 weeks. Spruce tend to last about 2-3 weeks.

For extended freshness, make sure to keep your tree away from all heat sources (fireplace, heat vents, radiator, etc.). Adding a humidifier near or under the tree can also help.
