Our award-winning Christmas wreaths are always fresh and in stock and our unique little gift shop features Saratoga Maple Syrup products, ornaments and more. Each year we hand perfect every tree, making sure they look just right and are perfect to go to someone's home. It allows us to have a natural look, yet still have them shaped perfectly.

You take the tree to your car, you tie it to your car. So the service takes one star away. The hot cocoa inside was served in styrofoam, which boggles my mind at this day and age. So that also takes a star away. I understand that the new owners just purchased the land a month or so ago and they were trying to make the most profit, but service goes a long way without it costing too much. I don't know if I will go back again next year. Other places from previous years seemed more service oriented.

We pulled in and they asked us if we needed to borrow a saw (which we did-- it was nice and sharp) and asked us if we had any other questions. You can drive up and down the rows of Christmas trees if you don't want to walk. If you walk, they have a truck that will come around and pick up your tree for you so you don't have to walk all the way back. Once you've found your tree they offer a free "shake and net". They have a cool machine that stands the tree upright and gives it a light shake to get any loose needles out and then the wrapped it up for us in the net. You pay inside a cute little shop that offers VT goodies such as maple syrup, souvenirs, etc. Our tree cost $45 and came with a free hot coca and candy candy for each of us. For photo lovers, there's a cute wooden sleigh and wooden reindeer for kids to climb and take pictures on. I also appreciate the Christmas music playing outside. On the way out we showed our receipt and gave our saw back. The gentleman checking receipts also double checked out tie job and ensured us we'd make it back home (this was great since we were newbies to tying a tree on top of our little car). Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. You truly pay for an amazing tree and wonderful holiday experience here.

White's has a great selection of trees and we've been going there almost every year, except for the…read moreyears they closed before we got our tree or were traveling for Christmas. We've never had a complaint before, but, this year we, unfortunately, got charged for an 8 foot tree when ours turned out to be barely over 7 feet. I wasn't thinking about it when I paid for it until on the way home my husband was upset that I paid more and said there was no way that tree was 8 feet. When we set it up at home it's at least 4" from our less than 8 ft ceilings and that's in the tree stand that raises it a couple inches. So we paid $10 more for our tree. I don't know if that is a complaint about service since they hand you a little plastic slip that shows what to pay and I didn't see a color coded price sheet, and, it was partly my fault for having a conversation with the clerk while paying and not realizing the price was over what it should have been. They do a nice job of shaking trees, wrapping trees, helping put them in the car and have a nice "assembly line" for doing so. If White's are reading this, I would love it if you would put that extra $10 in the Camp TaKumTa jar. I have often supported that camp in memory of my little sister who died from leukemia. Thanks!
