Tips for Christmas Tree Farms
We asked parents for their best Christmas tree farm tips, and they delivered. These tips include things to look for when finding the perfect tree, things to remember to keep the kids entertained, and lots more.
- Go at the right time in the season: “We always go to North Carolina so we can get a Fraser Fir and cut it ourselves. It’s best to go early enough so the trees aren’t as picked through, but late enough so it still looks good by the time Christmas comes around. We have found that going the week after Thanksgiving is perfect.” Also, remember that farm hours are always subject to change. This can be due to availability, weather, and lots of other things. So, always confirm the farm is open before you head out!
- Tie Down That Tree: You’ll need to tie down your tree to your car, and if you have a long drive you’ll want to make sure you bring very secure straps, beyond what is offered with the trees at the farm. “I recommend your own straps if you are going far. My Honda Pilot actually fit our 7-foot tree in the car last year!”
- Don’t Stress, have fun!: Keep that family tradition fun. Pick out your best ugly Christmas sweater and pile into the car with some Christmas music, hot coffee, and cocoa. Make finding the perfect tree a game, maybe play a little hide and seek at the farm if it is safe to do so.
- Prep before you go: “Before we go, we already have our tree stand out and ready so we can get the fresh tree in water ASAP.” Also, keep the water filled all season long.
- Find a healthy tree: “When searching for the perfect tree, we make sure all sides look good, no dry needles, and look at the trunk! Bend down and make sure the trunk isn’t crooked, or your tree will be too. The trees are usually on hills, so you can’t always tell if the tree is leaning.”
- Being Frugal: “If you’re crafty, ask if they have any excess tree clippings that you can have. Some places will give them away for fre,e and they are perfect for making your own garland, wreaths, or just to lay around with your decor.”
