What you can pick here

Typical US ranges from extension service crop calendars, not this farm's own dates. Seasons shift by region and weather, so check with the farm.

Before you go

  • Check that it is open. Call the farm: hours and crops change with the weather.
  • Bring cash and a card. Some farms take only one.
  • Water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes.
  • A bow saw if the farm lets you bring one (many lend saws)
  • Work gloves, sap is sticky
  • Ratchet straps or rope and an old blanket for the car roof
  • A tape measure and your ceiling height
  • Ask about pets before you bring a dog.

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.
