I haven't purchased a *real* Christmas tree in decades. Well, I don't think I (personally) have…read moreever purchased one until this past weekend...mostly because most 7 year olds don't literally buy Christmas trees. All that being said, we were on the hunt for a locally-ish sourced Christmas tree and lo and behold a small tree lot could be found just a few miles from our house. L & M tree farm had a small but solid selection of trees (from 5'-10' my best guess) - balsam, fraser fir, white pine, natural balsam, and a small selection of fresh wreaths. Pricing range from $40-$100 for most trees. The free smells were nice, but the service was on point too. Linda had plenty of tree knowledge to bestow on us and she was very patient with our two little girls who were constantly shuffling along in the fallen tree needles. After we selected our freshly cut and bagged tree, the gentleman (Dennis?) secured our new purchase to our roof and we were on our merry way. *Pro tip: They only take cash or checks.

With a huge selection of trees to choose from, you will enjoy chopping down your own Christmas tree. They provide saws and tree bundling and twine to tie it to the roof of your care. The trees are all $50, and the quality is great! When you're done cutting the tree, drive down to the warming house, where you'll pay and enjoy free hot cocoa, coffee and homemade cookies. We've been going for five years now, and it's such a great experience, we don't plan to go anywhere else...ever!

This is nice as so many of the orchards/pumpkin patches charge for every single thing separately. The staff was friendly and everything is kid appropriate. If you don't love loud noises, watch out for the corn cannon but other than that this is kid heaven. There are also treats for adults with a beer tent, live music and shop for snacks. The bounce area, giant slide and especially the zip line seem like favorites. Pumpkins are a set price and are a reasonable cost. You could easily stay here for hours. Parking is decent - and they've got an area for overflow. Great spot!

Would have probably rated this place 4 stars last year, but taking off a star this year because it…read moredid not feel worth it for the price. This place is ran by Benedictine Monks and is non-profit which is good, but for $23 weekend price ($19 weekday) it just didn't feel worth it. IMO entrance should be free (or suggested donation) while it's encouraged to buy pumpkins, food, and stuff from the shop, especially at a place like this where there is no huge attractions. Last year I think it was cheaper, and for some reason we basically had the whole place to ourselves which is why I wanted to come back because my memory of it was good. On weekends they have live music and a bar to purchase drinks. There's a couple fun things for kids to do (a small zipline, a hayride, a slide), but not too much for adults coming here for a date. The corn maze is very old with lots of gaps in it from people making their own paths. There were also no pumpkins left or the ones left were rotting. I expected there to be a lot more to buy and take photos with, but when we got in, there were maybe 5 pumpkins left on the grass and none that I wanted to purchase :( The one thing I do love about this place is the petting zoo and it was a big reason I wanted to come back. They seem like they take care of the animals and don't allow constant feedings too. It's also not too crowded and they don't allow too many people inside at once. But when there are farms that allow goat petting for free, I don't think it's worth the money just for that. We purchased some pumpkin donuts from the shop too and they were okay. I read the ingredients after purchasing and was a bit turned off. I don't really like to see Red 40 and a bunch of preservatives when I'm expecting it to be fresh and homemade. I don't know if I would return.

Yet, I know those needles all over the floor can be a huge pita..I like to think of it as a once a year pita. Make sure you hydrate your tree daily because they get thirsty too. Tree lots seem far and few between these days. Sure you can hit the big box stores; nothing wrong with that. But, you won't get the same selection and maybe not the freshest tree either..two of the biggest perks for stopping here. Lot is well lit and spacious. They have an indoor tent as well. This local business is formerly known as L&M Tree Farm out of Roselle by Murphy Farms of Itasca. They just moved to this location this year and it's much larger than the previous lot. Tree selection is stellar and there's no comparison to those chains. And, yeah it does come with a price tag, but you're also paying for the best selection and quality. Bill runs the place. Nice guy and offers a LARGE & beautiful assortment of fresh Michigan trees, including some wreaths and garland. Choose from Balsam, Douglas, Fraser firs and a variety of Pines and Spruce. From tiny to tall - they cut, wrap and load on your vehicle. Just a friendly place to stop in. Prices are competitive with other tree lots. A 7 ft. Balsam fir runs around $53, but you might be able to negotiate a little, we did last year. This year, I think Bill's wife was feelin a little 'scroogish' and didn't budge too much other than give us 10% off due to postcards they sent out notifying of their new location. (Bill's nicer at knocking off monies, fyi). Just tell them you got a postcard in the mail. They also charge sales tax (7%) so that 10% discount basically covers this. I don't know why they charge tax tbh...so yeah, support local businesses and bring Bill some holiday cookies!

I was the first person to buy a Fraser Fir 3 days BEFORE Thanksgiving last year. It was an 8 footer and lasted 7 weeks. And I have never had a real tree maintain its fabulous aroma for the entire time. At the parties we held last year everyone thought that it was fake. Now John and his lovely wife told me if I took care of it (water frequently) that it would last but wow never dreamed it would last that long. Also didn't have a huge pile of needles when we had to move it to the recycler. If you are looking for a very "Merry" Christmas in 2017 give their trees a try, you won't be disappointed.
