Before you go…
Because it’s after Thanksgiving and supply is limited this year, you might want to reach out before you make the trek. Check social media or call ahead, especially around bad weather or holiday weekends.
Many farms offer more than just trees, like wreaths, garlands, hot chocolate, treats, and even fun extras like bonfires or hayrides. Consider making it a holiday outing rather than just a simple purchase of a tree or wreath.
