Always have the best time at Hillside Tree Farm! Pro tip from someone who's been going here for…read moreyears: park at the lower parking lot (not the parking spaces long the road)! The staff are wonderful and the "cutters" do their best to make selecting and cutting the tree a magical experience. They start the tree cutting for you, with their own saws (you don't need to bring your own), so the tree regrows properly - but they each let us take turns. Not as easy as they make it look! So helpful at every step of the process - including free wrapping and tying it to the car. We found a beautiful 9' Turkish Nordman with blue hues on the bottom and it has barely dropped any needles after the initial shaking!!

My family loves this place, especially our kids who get to yell "cutter" and "timber". I recommend…read moregoing the weekend right after Thanksgiving, that's when you'll snag the best tree, but honestly the farm is so big it takes our family 2+ hours to walk it so I'm sure you'll find a good tree anytime. I also recommend bringing cash to tip the cutters who cut your tree and bring it to the front for you. They also usually have a cash only line to pay for your tree which moves way faster than the credit card only line. Lastly, you should get a hot cocoa before you start looking so you have something warm to hold. It's a little pricey but the experience, service, and quality is what keeps us going back!

You get to walk around the entire tree farm and pick out any tree and they cut it for you. I believe it's cash or Venmo only and the $$ wasn't too bad either. $120 for any size tree. You pick, they cut.

PRO TIP - you will be VERY glad that you leave your house early enough to be there right when they open at 9! Avoid the crowds, get a parking space, and have multiple attendants at your service! They have so many different types of pine, the guys who work here are so pleasant and friendly, and they always seem to be there right when you need them! It's a smaller place, no frills or hayrides or pastries... they do one thing and they do it really well! Super happy they have a square for card payments this year!!

Pros: easy access from highway, very close to 50. Not a lot of people, easy to park. Great pricing,…read more3 times cheaper than some other cut-your-tree places and even cheaper than grocery market lots. Cons: seems just wild forest and not maintained area with clear view for each tree. Other trees have blocked even growth of the tree. Many tree as just new branches of previously cut trees and are very high, like 7ft high to even cut. Hard to tell what the tree will look like. Many trees have fewer or every uneven length branches. Hot cider provided, packing just a dollar. Very nice staff, pleasant and welcoming. So, it's forest from where you can pick a wild tree. Some picks here even show quite well how the trees look like. Went for the cut-your-tree experience and that we had. Glad that this kind of places still exists!

The first tree u…read moresaw was a good one but by the time I went back to it a bit later someone lede had chosen it so the search went on. We found a nice one at the top of a tall tree. My husband walked back up and the owner brought his truck and chain saw and cut it down for us He said that he grew up here and he is 3rd generation owner. The trees are a great price, $48 and we tipped them for helping us cut the tree down. His wife said it was not necessary but we really appreciated the service. I definitely recommend this tree farm. They also have a second location

Very cute Christmas tree farm! It's actually really huge, even though it doesn't look so big from…read morethe beginning when you enter. The tree farm expands on both sides, up the hill on both sides, and connects in the back. They have really gorgeous trees, very pushy and so many different types of leaves to fit everyone's style. I will say, the trees are not extremely tall, although this place has a lot of potential if you come back in about two years. That's when you will find your 12 foot and over trees. If you are looking for anything shorter than that, this is your place. If you have some time, definitely check out the " Bear cave" in the back of the farm. Super fun for kids, or adults like us who love to pretend to be kids! LOL

We tried the lavender lemonade slushy and it was super refreshing. We were the only ones there, and pulling up was a little confusing since it looks very home-y, and we weren't totally sure where things were happening. They had a nice little selection of goodies for sale, and overall the vibe was really chill. However... there was a cat hanging around that became a bit of a deal-breaker. It climbed right up on the table where the utensils, napkins, and bagged chips were -- literally sat on the chip bags like it owned the place. Clearly not its first time doing that. who wants cat booty on their food? I'm all for farm animals and pets, but I don't think they should be around areas where food is being handled or served -- especially where straws and napkins are kept. Then our drink came out with a straw already in it, and while it was brought from the kitchen, it made me wonder if the cat's allowed back there too. They also mentioned a flower garden we could check out, which we did but it took only a few minutes, and then we headed out. Overall, it's a relaxing little spot, but not much to do, and the food hygiene situation needs some serious work. I definitely don't want cat butt near my snacks.
