Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pre-tag a tree before the season starts?
Sorry, but we do not offer pre-tagging of trees. Our fields are large enough that we cannot see all the folks actually cutting trees and a tag on a tree is like a magnet. Other farms have reported that unless you actually 
have an employee accompany each group heading out to the fields, many pre-tagged trees will have disappeared by the time the folks who originally tagged the tree arrive. In addition, other farms have reported considerable negative feedback and disappointment from folks that show up early in the season, especially Thanksgiving weekend, only to find that many trees are already pre-tagged as sold.
Is it possible to come out and get our tree on Thanksgiving day?
We are a family farm and we place our emphasis on the family tradition aspect of the holidays. One of our traditions is a large family gathering and dinner on Thanksgiving day. We have been working non-stop for several weeks to get everything set up for the season, this is our one and only day off until we close at Christmas. We have made the decision to keep it sacred. We hope you also have some sacred traditions for the holidays. They are glue that helps bind the family together.
The kids love the trains. You must put a lot of time and effort into them. Can we see them at other times?
(Ok, so I made this one up.) I (We?) love them too, but generally I’m working on the next phase off and on over the off-season months and have sections of the track torn up so they are not operational. They do take a lot of time and effort. I have put hundreds of hours and (don’t tell my wife) many many dollars into the trains. But they do keep me healthy as I have climbed the stepladder thousands of times.
Where can I recycle my tree?
This is a hard one to answer as each city has different pickup days or drop-off locations? You need to make a quick call to your city office to find out the particulars. The advantage in using the city facilities is that the tree is usually chipped and used around city trees or hiking trails. Many are also used by sportsman’s organizations to establish fish sanctuaries in shallow waters. However, another good use is to set it in a snow bank and decorate it with carrots, popcorn, bread, peanut butter, etc. for the over wintering birds and animals. It makes a great winter activity for the kids.
