Our note

The fields shut at 4pm because they are not lit, even on the days the shop stays open until 7, so an afternoon group has a narrow window. Dress everyone for wet ground and cold. There is no published price or arrangement for a class, so phone the farm before you plan anything with a group.

What the children do

The farm's fields open for the Christmas season so visitors can walk out and cut their own tree, alongside pre-cut trees, wreaths, swags, garland and greenery sold from Santa's Workshop. Hand saws and twine are supplied and there is free hot apple cider. Trees are priced per foot, between $8 and $15 a foot in the 2025 season, and no tree under 6 feet may be cut in the fields. The farm publishes nothing about school or group visits, so there is no group rate, no capacity and no booking route on the site.

Walk out across acres of planted trees to pick one, then watch it come down with a hand saw from the farm and be carried back and tied to the car. Signs through the farm name the different kinds of tree, and there is free hot apple cider.

Good to know

This is an outdoor working farm and the site says nothing about washrooms, indoor shelter or anywhere a group could sit and eat. The season is short, roughly mid November to just before Christmas, so ring well ahead.

Sources disagree. Their home page says they are open daily 9am to 7pm right now, but the contact page and the questions page only give hours for mid November to just before Christmas. The banner looks like it has been left up from a past season. Ring before you drive out.
