What To Expect At The Farm

1. Choose Your Tree Type

• Decide whether you want to cut your own tree or select from our pre-cut trees.

2. Gather Your Tools

3. Check the Height

• Ensure your chosen tree is the right height for your space before you cut or select it.

4. Cut Your Tree (or Ask for Help)

• Start sawing once you’ve chosen the right tree, or ask a staff member for assistance. Once it’s cut, the tree must be purchased.

5. Processing Area Instructions (For Choose & Cut)

6. For Pre-Cut Trees

8. Ticket Handling

9. Enjoy Refreshments & Shopping

1. Choose the Perfect Spot

• Select a cool area away from direct heat sources like heaters, fireplaces, and direct sunlight.
• Trees dry out quickly in warm conditions, which can shorten their lifespan.

2. Make a Fresh Cut

• When you get home, cut about 1/2 to 1 inch off the bottom of the trunk before placing it in water. This helps the tree absorb water more effectively, as the fresh cut removes any dried sap that may block water uptake.
• Place the tree in water within 1-2 hours of making this cut.

3. Use a Proper Tree Stand

• Use a stand that holds at least a gallon of water, ensuring it fits the tree’s trunk snugly. An appropriate stand reduces tipping risk and allows the tree to draw water easily.

4. Water, Water, Water!

• Trees are very thirsty, especially in the first week. Check the water level daily to ensure it doesn’t fall below the tree’s base. A tree may consume up to a gallon a day initially.
• Avoid letting the water level drop below the trunk base, as this may cause the tree to seal up and stop absorbing water.

5. Monitor the Tree’s Health

• Keep an eye on the needles. If they start to drop or feel brittle, check your watering routine and adjust if needed.
• If the tree seems to dry out faster than expected, try to reduce the temperature in the room.

6. Safety First

• Inspect light strings and decorations to ensure there are no frayed wires or loose connections, as these can be a fire hazard.

With these tips, you’ll enjoy a vibrant, healthy Christmas tree throughout the season!
