How to pick like a pro

Is it ripe?
Run a branch through your hand: needles should stay on. Check the trunk is straight for 6 to 8 inches at the base so it fits the stand.
How to pick
Measure ceiling height and stand diameter before you go. Most farms lend a saw; cut low and level. Ask the farm to shake and net the tree.
Best time to go
Thanksgiving weekend has the best selection but the biggest crowds. Weekday afternoons are calmer.
Keep it fresh
Make a fresh cut on the trunk when you get home and put it in water within a few hours. Check water daily for the first week.

Check hours before you go. Listings come from public directories and many were last updated in 2024.
