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.

What a great experience! There's no cost to enter. You simply walk around the farm and check out…read morethe trees and see which one you want. When you find one you like, you simply yell, "CUTTER!" and one magically appears before you with a scythe. If you're shy, you can wait for one of the cutters to walk by yelling, "Anyone need a cutter?" That works too. This farm has so many different varieties to choose from. I wanted a Noble fir but ended up selecting a silver tip. All trees cost the same no matter what kind you get or how tall it is. Once your tree is cut, he brings it to the line for you. You pay. They shake the tree in a contraption to remove dry needles. Then after you pay, they tie the tree up and give you some rope so you can tie it down your car. Easy peasy. Don't forget to tip your cutter. They work hard! So much better than just picking a tree from a parking lot. I want to come back every year!

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!!

Lovely selection of trees , Lots of acreage and the fun of calling the "cutter" lol 65.00 for any size tree except Nordman firs are 85. Fairly great deal, the trees are much cleaner than buying the previously cut trees in the tree lot. Behind means less dead debris falling on your floor . Please remember to bring cash!! They also give ya a few candy canes to sweeten the deal, what could be easier.

In addition to the tree, the experience was even more enjoyable with a large fire pit, photo props, complimentary hot cider, popcorn, and candy canes!

Not ever having gotten a Christmas tree (during my young adult years) from any place other than a…read moretree lot (we used to cut them down when I was a kid in the Midwest), I wasn't sure where to go to cut down our own tree in Northern California. I figured if we made our way up towards the Apple Hill Area, we would be bound to find something. So that's exactly what we did. As luck would have it, we happened upon Apple Country Christmas Tree Farm. We were given a map, a saw, and told where on the large, open acreage we would have our best chances to find a good tree. The closer plots of land were pretty picked over (we came on December 2nd!) so we trekked further back on the property and began our search. After some looking and comparing, climbing and inspecting, we found our tree. You tag it, and a pickup truck comes by and takes your tree back to the entrance where they net it for you and it's ready to go once you hike back. Both my boyfriend and I weren't used to how spread out the branches of this breed/style of Christmas tree are and were hesitant at first, but once we got our tree home, we loved it. For $58 (no matter the size of tree you cut), we couldn't be happier with our tree and the whole experience.

Lots of trees are sprouts off stumps which isn't a big deal but since the lot isn't maintained well, all of those were sprouts of 3-4.

They told me they were hardened outside locally already too, which was obvious in how quickly they established themselves. The prices for the plants were lower than big hardware stores too, Last year, I actually looked there, then thought hmmm maybe I can save some money and go to a bigger place in pville...it was a wasted trip and I ended up just coming back. I was glad I did because I then found out after getting what I needed that they don't charge sales tax either, so that was cool. Also, on top of all that, they were very friendly, and helpful. Not only did they remind me to get some sluggo plus for pincer bugs, they gave me a quart of locally made guano based nutrients free. This is a very unique little garden shop with everything you need, a great selection of healthy, vigorous plants, and many generally uncommon varieties, that do well locally.
