Santa Returns to Erickson Bros Tree Farm this Saturday, Dec. 2 from 1pm-3pm!


Santa visited Erickson Bros Tree Farm last Saturday and had so much fun that he decided to return this Saturday, Dec. 2 from 1pm-3pm.  Our new photo booth is a terrific place to take a photo with Santa and your family!  

Children of all ages enjoy watching our model trains!  Challenge yourself or your friends to find all the miniature items on our Train Search!

We are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 6pm.  Choose from hundreds of trees in our fields to cut your own tree or take one from the precut lot - either way, we know you'll find your perfect tree.  After dark - only precut trees available!

Our friendly staff will assist you in your search for the perfect tree!  We have lots of precut trees to choose from and as always - you and your family may wander our fields to choose and cut down your own perfect tree!  We will shake the tree to remove any dead needles (free) and then your tree can be netted if you choose ($1.00 fee).  Our staff will gladly help you tie your tree to your vehicle.

2016 OPENING DAY - FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25

Erickson Bros Tree Farm will be open for the season beginning at 9am on Friday, November 25, 2016.  We are located on Hwy. 8 - 3 miles east of Taylors Falls and 3 miles west of Shafer.  We look forward to seeing our returning customers as well as many new friends!  The trains are up and running, wreaths and trees are looking good and we have many items in our gift area.  Hot cider, hot chocolate, ginger snaps and candy canes await you!

Our hours will be expanded this year from 9am to 9pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until Dec. 24.  Cut your own and precut trees are available and our staff will be happy to assist you in tying your tree securely to your vehicle.  Only precut trees will be available for sale after dark or about 5:30pm.  We are still a cash only business - sorry - no credit cards.

Highway 8 has been under construction all summer and we hope it will reopen to Taylors Falls by this weekend. There is a new roundabout at the intersection of Hwy. 8 and 95.   However, even if Hwy. 8 still has a "local traffic only" sign, you can use Hwy. 8 as we are only about 200 yards after the new roundabout.

We will you all a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with family and friends, lots of good food and much to be grateful for!
