Experience a Vermont Family Farm
We're a small family owned Christmas tree farm in Middlebury, Vermont. We've been growing Christmas trees for over 40 years. In addition to Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands, we produce maple syrup, honey, Shropshire sheep, and hay. We believe that farming should improve the local environment through smart farming choices. Our farm is solar-powered. Together, we can keep this farm growing family traditions for generations to come.

2025 Summer Farm Stand
open Saturdays 10-5
​
We're expecting to stay open with a great selection of Christmas trees for the full 2025 Christmas season. We have fewer than normal tall (10+ trees) so we recommend coming earlier and/or contacting us about tall trees. Trees 14'+ generally need to be pre-ordered.
What We Grow
CHRISTMAS TREES
On our Vermont Christmas tree farm, we sell cut-your-own and pre-cut Christmas trees. Our 2025 tree types are balsam fir, canaan fir, balsam/fraser fir crosses, white pine, and a small number of concolor fir, spruces, veitch fir crosses, and balsam/korean fir crosses. We make all of our wreaths, garlands, and other greeneries on our farm. Choose your Christmas tree and have a wonderful Christmas with Werner Tree Farm.
​
MAPLE SYRUP
Traditional production combined with modern efficiency produces a rich flavored syrup that burns less wood to make. We taste test every batch to make sure it meets our high standards. It's a rough job, but someone's got to do it. You can find our maple syrup at the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op, as well as for sale on the farm.
​
HONEY
Our northern honeybee queens produce a pleasant, mild-flavored wildflower honey. We manage our hives using only organic-approved treatments and strategies for disease and mite control. Our Vermont honey is lightly strained and unheated. We have raw liquid honey, raw creamed honey, and honeycomb available in our shop.
​
HAY
We make high quality horse and sheep hay in forty pound square bales.
​
SHROPSHIRE SHEEP
Our sheep rotate through different sections of the Christmas trees, grazing out weeds and grass. They come from Groverman genetics. Come shop our farm-raised lamb meat, shropshire yarn and roving, and a variety of felted ornaments and products.

Just a wonderful family operation full of smiles. Been heading there for twenty years and nobody compares. Period.

When I was younger, we always went to Werner's for our tree. Now that I'm older and have my own family, we have continued the tradition and bring our girls each year. The train, hot chocolate and warm atmosphere are hard to beat!

We've gotten our trees here for years, not to mention wreaths and kissing balls, all handmade at the farm. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable -- an unbeatable combination!
The Future Is Green - Sustainable Agriculture
There are plenty of buzzwords out there for green agriculture. You’ve probably heard some of these terms before: regenerative agriculture, sustainable farming, permaculture, holistic farming, silvopasture, organic farming—there are lots of them. While they may have different methods of getting there, we found these terms all point to the same concept.
​
Farming can be good for the environment.
​
Most of these green farming philosophies weren't created with tree farms in mind (no till? That's easy for a tree farm!) What makes the most sense to us is taking bits and pieces that are a good fit for our farm and land. For example, we added Shropshire sheep to our farm as an organic, low impact method of weed and grass control. In 2021 we added solar panels on the Christmas Shop and barn roofs to become completely solar-powered.
​
We know our practices aren't perfect. Great! That means we have room to grow. Have a great idea? Please send it to us!
