I almost hesitate to write this review because I want Miller Tree Farm to remain our hidden gem! For the past 15 years, we've made it a tradition to visit on opening day, arriving at opening time to find the perfect tree. And every single year, we have managed to do just that! This experience has become a cherished family ritual for my kids, who have known no other way of getting our Christmas tree. Although there have been tears and playful disagreements along the way, we always leave with the most beautiful tree, and those moments have only added to the memories. As my children have grown older, the tears have thankfully stopped, but the joy of choosing our tree together remains. I truly hope they continue this tradition at Miller Tree Farm for years to come. If you're looking for a delightful place to find your holiday tree, I cannot recommend this farm enough! read more

Miller tree farm is a great place to take photos! They have some really cute trees growing and even if the weather isn't the best, the greenery makes up for it! The staff here are kind and leave you to your own devices. Feel free to walk onto the farm without worry that someone is judging or going to stop you. There were people around the farm that day- though it wasn't too busy- it was quiet. There are some great opportunities out there! Go get 'em! Now if we're talking trees and pricing, every tree in the farm is $55 but they'll sell you a tree for just 30 if it's teeny tiny. The most classically beautiful trees were up front and being sold at about 60 or 65, if I remember correctly. These are the ones that replicate the beauty of a reusable plastic tree, but honestly are even more spectacular than I've ever seen. The staff here will package the tree up and help you attach it to your vehicles roof. Finding the location was easy with our GPS. We could clearly see that we were in the right spot and parking was available. We arrived around 3. There are no stairs to climb at this tree farm, making it a wheelchair accessible location. The only thing I noticed that could inhibit wheelchair movement throughout the farm is that there seemed to be a thick layer of hay, maybe, lining the ground. There didn't seem to be clear paths to walk through, so we kinda just crunched through the hay to whichever tree caught our eye. You could go anywhere to buy a tree, but buying a tree from a tree farm is very worth the experience! read more

Wonderful experience two years in a row! Plenty of trees , all sizes all shapes and they provide you with a trolly and cutting tools. They wrap the tree and give free hot cider and hot chocolate while you wait. Dogs are welcome and there is a fire pit that makes a beautiful backdrop for photos. A wreath cost 10-50 depending on size. A tree cost 65. This year they were out of kissing balls, which was disappointing but for $10 I purchased a beautiful wreath. read more

Went here today with my sister and her family to get a christmas tree. We attempted several other tree farms, but were displeased with them for a variety of reasons. One guy didn't allow dogs and his trees were under ugly high powered electric lines, another looked too shoddy, and the one they used to go to was closed for the season. This family owned farm was the right place! As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the jolly owner. He gave us a great story how his grandfather bought the place back in 1929 and barely survived the great depression. It used to be an animal farm up into the 70's. They had cookies, hot chocolate and hot spiced cider! They have about 50 acres of trees. they provide you with modified long wheelbarrows to find, cut, and haul your tree back where they wrapped it for us. My only minor complaint would be the little nasty spiked burs that would catch on our clothing (and the poor dog's paws). The large selection of trees was nice, and we were able to spend well over an hour goofing around finding the right tree. They also had wreaths and tree stands. The tree stand we picked out was great and probably the best stand we have ever bought... it was all metal, and good quality parts. I can tell this stand will last for many years to come unlike past stands. read more

Very disappointed, the trees were in rough shape, most too small to cut down, the grounds were overgrown with vines that kept tripping us. The man who greeted us was less than helpful. We left and went somewhere else. I'll never return. read more

This was an okay place. Parking was adequate if you don't have a trailer. They do not have paved lots so bring boots because you'll be walking in a lot of mud and dirt. We were not greeted by anyone- none of the employees said anything to us upon arrival. We walked around until we found the saws and carts on our own- which was easy. They had a nice large fire going in a pit and refreshments, and a sign telling you how to care for your tree. After traipsing around the lots on both sides of the road we were disappointed with the stock. It would be pointful if they had signs directing you to where certain species of trees were, as some people are looking for a specific variety. We asked someone where the blue spruce trees were and they had them in a lot down the road. We never would have found this out if we didn't ask. This lot had a much healthier selection of trees and we found our blue spruce, finally. I'd like to note that walking through the farm was a hassle as they were loaded with tall weeds and thorny, nasty vines. Almost all trees had a pricker vine running through it and removing them from our tree was a nuisance. I'd be happier if they had well-groomed fields! Pulling out thorns from my clothes was not fun. read more
