2018 Christmas Season in Pictures!

We've had a great year seeing lots of old friends and meeting new ones.  Here's some photos from our past season - Merry Christmas to you all!

Santa is coming to Erickson Bros Saturday, Dec. 1 Noon-2pm and Saturday, Dec. 8 Noon-2pm

Santa will be stopping by Erickson Bros. Tree Farm again this year.  He will arrive on Saturday, Dec. 1 at noon and can stay til 2pm.  He is available in our photo booth for pictures with children of all ages!!  This is a busy time for him, but he will also be back on Saturday, Dec. 8 from noon-2pm.  We hope you can stop by and have your photo taken with Santa!

Opening Day - Friday, November 23, 2018!

Erickson Bros Tree Farm will be open for the 2018 season on Friday, November 23 at 9am.  We are looking forward to greeting our wonderful returning customers and meeting new families as well!  Our photo booths are great for family photos.  We hope Santa will make a stop again this year - watch this site for dates!

Our holiday hours are 9am to 6pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday from the day after Thanksgiving until Dec. 24.  Please note:  Precut trees only after dark.  We offer a variety of precut trees as well as cut your own trees in our fields.  Our staff will shake your tree and help to tie it onto your vehicle.

                                                  

After you've picked out your tree, stop inside for some complimentary hot cider or hot chocolate and gingersnaps.  Kids of all ages enjoy watching our 2 large model train layouts.  And of course there is our Train Search - children love the challenge of finding all the items on the train layout!

You will also find a great selection of wreaths and outdoor planters to decorate your home.  If you have a pot or planter you would like an arrangement for, you may contact Melissa at 651-503-3940 to discuss your request and arrange to meet.

                           Our sales room has a variety of gift items, ornaments and lights.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
