My son and I came to Beck's this year after a bad experience with our families traditional tree…read morefarm over the summer. I found it on Yelp! I was surprised to find that any pine tree you cut is $25. I am used to paying $35-$50 for a nice tree and having to check the price tag every time I find one that I like. Not worrying about price was a nice change, so I could focus on the best tree for my needs.
In my previous experiences, I am used to having to wait for a beat up old school bus to pick me up, cutting a tree, then waiting in the cold to be picked up again. In this case, you just get a cart, hike up the hill, cut your tree, then bring it back down. It's not a very large farm, so you don't have to worry about hiking long distances, and the way back is downhill, so you don't have to lug the tree uphill or anything.
When I got back to the main building, I was surprised to find that they do not take credit cards, so BRING CASH! We walked into their shop, that has long, collapsible tables for sitting and having free hot chocolate and boxed cookies, and a fake fireplace at the end. They sell second hand Christmas decorations for as little as $.10 on up as well as some collectables and antiques, but I didn't notice many hand made decorations, or fresh wreaths or anything.
Altogether it was a nice experience, but I will probably continue looking for a nicer place to cut a tree, and sit by the fire or shop hand made decorations afterwards. But if I can't find something really nice, I won't have a problem coming back.
