There's nothing like a pleasant little drive to a pleasant little tree farm on a pleasant little day.
Ok, so I've been itching to get our family out to a cut-your-own tree farm for YEARS. We usually go to a nursery, which is fine, but I just want that farm experience, you know? (Maybe I'm just cut from a different cloth. But hey, here we are.)
My dad actually found out about this place, and we decided to give it a whirl. We've really been looking more fun/outdoor activities to do since the pandemic, so it seemed now they were a little bit more inclined to dive in and check out a cut-your-own farm.
It was fairly busy when we pulled up, but there's enough land to keep yourself socially distant! I'm pretty sure this place is a little family-owned spot, but there were plenty of people around willing to give us a little bit of guidance being our first time. We were given a general idea of what kinds of trees we'd be able to find on the farm, where we could find them, and they provided plenty of tools for us to use if we'd like to (a pole to measure tree height, saw to cut it ourselves if we'd like, etc).
We actually chickened out last minute and had some of the staff help us take down a tree we'd picked out, but it's cool! They handle everything for you if you'd like, cutting and carrying the tree, wrapping it up, helping attach it to the car. Trees here were only $45, no matter what size. That's right. Big trees. Little trees. Doesn't matter. And these aren't some poor looking trees, either. Thick, full, and healthy as heck, because they're growing right out of the ground! Ok, the tree we picked out ended up being a *little* bit crooked, but it's possibly the best tree we've ever owned.
I know for a FACT we will be returning to this farm to pick out our Christmas tree next year. Maybe even for the years to come! We really enjoyed our time here and I'd totally recommend this spot to anyone who's looking for some wintertime agritourism. read more
