Christmas Tree Cutting Tips
Book in Advance Or Go at Non-Peak Times: Due to COVID-19, Christmas tree farms have reduced capacity. Some locations require advance booking. (See below for details.)
Bring a Mask: Masks or face coverings may be required, especially where physical distancing is difficult. Check individual tree farm websites (below) for details.
Dress for the Weather: Since you’ll be outdoors, layer up and include boots. Holiday weather can be cold and wet.
Bring Your Own Saw: Most farms have sanitized handsaws you can borrow, but make things easier by bringing your own. Safety first: handsaws only. Most farms do not allow chainsaws or power saws.
