Tips:
- Dress for the farm. Wear warm clothes and shoes.
- Measure your space before you go. This includes doorways (you have to get the tree inside the house). Trees in the field may appear to be a "reasonable" size, but once placed in your living room they may be too large for your space. Get an idea in advance of the height and width you're after. You might even bring a measuring tape with you.
- Many of these farms offer pre-cut trees or cut-your-own. They will provide the tools to cut your own and great advice too. Ask staff members for tips and help.
- Call ahead before you go for an up-to-date inventory. Many farms close for the season once they are sold out.
- Read the information below carefully and visit farm websites for information including special events. Some require cash, others accept credit cards.
- Many farms will shake, flock and net your tree for you. Some will help tie it to the roof of your car, others will provide twine so you can tie it yourself. These services are a big help.
- Bring hand sanitizer to help clean off fresh tree sap.
- Take photos!
