My grandfather was pragmatic, to the point and for the most part, would "talk sensible" (sic)…read more When he was a young man - and the bizarre holiday tradition required his doing so - he would exclusively purchase his family's tree at the produce distributor, between Valley and Promenade streets. His post-depression-era sensibilities found him there, holiday season after holiday season, for two reasons mainly: 1. The service was exceptional. 2. The prices were the best in town. Now, some 70 plus years since, it is pretty much the same story. Although about three years ago Al-Jac's moved to a new location nearby - across the Woonasquatucket River, at the corner of Kinsley and Acorn - you can still expect fanciful formations of florid firs, tip-top tree talk, a complimentary chainsaw cut, and a happy heave-ho with a twine-tie-down atop your econo-sized vehicle. Ok, atop MY econo-sized vehicle. Add a handmade wreath to that 8.5 footer and walk away for under $50 (with tip). I would like to think that papa would be proud. That is with the exception of the laborious alliteration used in this review.

Most of the trees at the farm where on top of each other and it seemed like the trees were not well cared for. The tree only lasted two weeks and all the needles fell off the tree long before Christmas. Our friend that told us about this place also had the same issue with the tree they bought here. Needless to say, we had to buy a new tree from another farm. I tried to buy local in RI but from now on I plan to go to the farm I have been going to for years in CT.

They only have one tree baler and one line to purchase trees so the wait time to do each can get up to 45min+ for each line, which really takes away from the experience and value for what you pay for. If they could do a better job streamlining their process it would be a much more enjoyable experience.

This is a family owned farm and you can tell the moment that you walk on the property, that they take pride in it!! From the seasons greetings, to the saxophone playing Santa, to every staff member filled with Christmas cheer... It is quite literally impossible to walk around without grinning ear to ear :) The Christmas trees are plentiful and very fairly priced @ 65$ for 3-6 foot option. In addition they offer various wreaths, ornaments, as well as many other holiday gift options! Don't worry there are plenty of photo ops for the family, kids, and or pets as you can see from some of my own family photos! This year they have even had a Yetter farm proposal, which can be seen on their Insta. Don't forget to stop at the delicious donut truck for a hot donut and a coffee for the trip home!

Although the field was closed for cut your own, they had plenty of precut trees. We found one easily. A young guy helped us with the tree, wrote up our sale, marked it, and handed it over to be baled (and extra $2.) We also picked a beautiful wreath from the many they have on display. Inside is a shop with many little items and the area they are making the wreaths. Everyone is helpful and friendly. And they take credit cards! Most tree farms are cash or check only. Quick stop, great selection, comparable prices.

You go, they give you a hand saw and a cart and you go out into their fields looking for the perfect tree. They have many different kinds of trees of all shapes and sizes.

They also have beautiful wreaths for sale- they even threw a door hanger in for free. The farm is beautiful and they people are really friendly. They even let us bring our dog (as long as we promised to bring baggies and clean up after her which is more than reasonable). There are chickens roaming around and a friendly bunch of dogs on the grounds. Really great Christmas activity- we will be returning next year!

We decided to visit a tree farm that was very close to our home last year but ultimately the trees were all the same shape and the one we got ended up being gargantuan. It's a strange feeling to leave the tree farm with a tree you have doubts about! This year we decided to try Big John's and the experience just couldn't have been any better. The trees were varied and for a great price with the coupon. The staff was very friendly and the process was organized. We will definitely be back again next year!

NEVER AGAIN!! The GOOD:…read moreLocation Atmosphere Taste of food offered The Bad: Food quantity for the price!! After my partner's friend told him about this place and how it was wonderful, all you can eat (he went to a meat offered menu) we chose to try the shellfish and champagne on August 15th. Again the venue is wonderful the setup was beautiful there was oysters on the half shell and those seem to be very plentiful but we didn't over eat on those we wanted to save for the main meals which was supposed to be halibut Lobster, &scallops. when we got there the menu card added herbed crusted chicken for some reason. Everything was family style, truthfully, the chicken platter had the most plentiful amount of food on it!! Of which I took one piece of chicken breast and whatever vegetables sauteed with it I think they were just mushrooms, my partner took none of the chicken cuz he didn't want to fill up on chicken. The white meat was dry the sauteed vegetables were delicious and when eating with the chicken it was palatable. Then my partner and I got ONE SMALL scallop each, the family style "platter" that came out had FIVE scallops on them so he and I both took one as did the couple across from us and then the last one was taken by another couple next to us which is fine because we share family "platters", those five scallops were not meant just for my partner and I, they were meant for the vicinity of where we were sitting which was 10 of us. I think the long table held about 40 on one side 40 on the other. The lobster, same thing, luckily I got one piece which was a white meat and I split that in half to my partner and it wasn't a lot it was literally, for me, two bites and he got some claws which I never tasted and they were so tiny!! the halibut again small pieces on the family style "platter" I took one he took one and then later he took another one that was still sitting on the platter, I think maybe 6/7 pieces were on that platter. Honestly I've tasted better halibut it was on the dry side unfortunately. So for the money,$150 EACH, we expected family style portions even if they weren't going to be filled after the first time at least give us a family style portion and when the guy across the table from us asked about getting more Lobster the wait staff said "I'll have to see", of course none ever came. When my partner asked if more scallops were coming the wait staff said "I don't think so"... so all in all it was very disappointing for the amount of money we paid per person, we will never do that again or recommend it. His friend either gas lit us or his night of a meat dinner family style "platters" were very significant!!
