Opening Day - Friday, November 21 9am-5pm - Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays til Christmas

 We are excited to see our returning and new customers!  We have precut and cut your own trees.  We provide a saw and sled for those who wish to cut your own tree.  If you want to cut your own tree, please be at the farm by 4pm as it gets dark early and it may take time to find your perfect tree.  We do not allow people out into the fields after dark for your own safety.

                                             


We have a large selection of precut trees as well.  Our tree shaker will help rid your tree of loose needles and leaves to be left at the farm and not in your living room!  

We also have a selection of Christmas porch pots and wreaths available.  As some people prefer an artificial wreath, we also have those available for our customers.

We have two different outdoor photo booths for your family photo to capture the joy of finding your Christmas tree. 

                                                  

                                                            

Enjoy browsing our gift shop while you sip on complimentary hot cider and munch on a ginger snap.  Our staff will help to tie your tree securely to your vehicle as well.  

Children of all ages love to watch our large model train layout.  Also our gift shop features nutcrackers, gnomes and much more!


We are located just past the roundabout on Hwy 8 where it joins Hwy 95.  Ours is the first driveway on the left after the roundabout heading to Taylors Falls.  

We look forward to seeing you soon!
