​
Our Christmas Trees​
​
Since 1986, we’ve sold choose and cut trees from our family farm in Middlebury. Our knowledgeable staff of elves is happy to help with tree selection and tying trees on cars.
​
Our Christmas shop has complementary hot cocoa on the weekend. We are happy to turn on our G scale model train or take guests to visit Twister the Christmas pony.
​
For our customers who prefer the convenience of a precut tree, we keep our racks stocked with fresh, Vermont grown trees. We maintain several fields of trees up in the mountains of Lincoln, VT where most of our precuts come from. The rest come from other tree growers in the New Hampshire/Vermont Christmas Tree Association. This allows us to ensure that our precut trees are fresh and were grown with the same care and expertise as the trees in our choose & cut fields.
Choose and cut trees of any size are $60 plus tax. The tree farm elves are always happy to answer your questions or lend a hand, and when you return with your tree we are happy to bale it for you, and then help you get it into or tied down on top of your car. Choose and cut fields close at 4:00.
Below you can find a brief description and pictures of the varieties of Christmas trees we offer to help you decide which kind is best for your family. Additionally, we have small numbers of exotic and unusual conifers.
CANAAN FIR
A Balsam sub-species from the Canaan Valley in West Virginia. They are emerald green and have slightly longer needles than a balsam. They tolerate both our clay soils and late spring freezes quite well, making them ideal for growing in the Champlain valley.
BALSAM FIR
Native to a large portion of Canada and the northeastern US, balsam fir is the most common choice for Christmas trees in New England. They have short, soft needles, excellent needle retention and are famously fragrant.
BALSAM/FRASER CROSS
Sometimes called Fralsams, this hybrid typically combines the best traits of both fir species. Only available as cut-your-own on weekends, these trees typically sell out by mid-December.
WHITE PINE
White pine are native to Vermont. They have soft, full branches and a woodsy scent.
​
BLUE SPRUCE
Blue Spruce are a beautiful shade of blue with stiff needles. They have strong branches, making them an excellent choice for heavy ornaments. Their stiff, prickly needles are very useful for keeping pets from climbing on them.
​
NOT AVAILABLE 2023
WHITE SPRUCE
Trees have short, stiff needles and a very distinctive fragrance. Like the Blue Spruce, they are an excellent choice for people with pets who like to climb trees. If you like the look of natural pine cones on your tree, this is the tree for you.
KOREAN/BALSAM CROSS
Similar to balsam fir in appearance, with slightly larger branches. They have medium-length green needles with silver undersides. Good needle retention with an earthy, herbal scent. Only available as cut your own trees on weekends.
VEITCH/BALSAM CROSS
Very similar to a Veitch Fir in appearance. They have long, soft, jewel-green needles. Good needle retention and slight citrus fragrance. Only available as cut your own trees on weekends.
