We have been going for 6 years and love this place. The owners and staff are very kind and helpful. Also, the price is great. They have a few different types of trees so you can find one that suites you and then comes the festive part; time to cut down your very own tree. My kids love this part. As far as the above review states there are some trees with lighter branches so my suggestion would be to steer away from those if you have heavier ornaments. Over the years we've tried each of the different types and really do enjoy them all. We've not had a problem with the ornaments falling off or the tree tipping. As with any tree, I'd say a good stand is key. We'd recommend this place to all and we look forward to coming back year after year. ...more

This place is great and it's especially fun for the little ones in the family. The owner operators of this tree farm are great. The trees we have purchased were great and that's even when we bought one just a couple days before Christmas. I have no experience with the crap one reviewer claimed, of course when your complaining about dead needles, a birds nest all of which are odd unless you walked it home considering your tree was 8ft tall so I'm pretty certain it had to deal with the windy vehicle ride home which would have blown away any dead needles. Another funny thing is how you complain about the tree falling over 4 times while decorating. I've purchased trees for a handful of years here and one thing I never left with was a stand because they have never sold them. But yet it's there fault your not smart enough to use a tree stand correctly. Good luck with that though just like they saying goes "you can't fix stupid" ...more

We found this place last year, were delighted with their selection of trees, and plan to keep going back!

The negative review from "sammy569" seems very strange to me -- when there are literally thousands of trees there to choose from, why would anyone *choose* a tree with flimsy branches, missing branches, dead needles, and a bird's nest, and then *blame the farm*???

First I would like to say they are very friendly people. However, the trees are terrible. The one we purchased is 8ft. tall and the branch are too flimsy for ornaments. It has fallen over 4 times the weight of the ornaments is too much for the tree. The inside has so many dead needles that we had to use a hand rake to get it out. we found a birds nest in it. This left lots of holes in tree where there are no branches. There is still lots of dead needles inside I worry the tree will catching fire, so I dont put the lights on much. I would not recommend this tree farm to anyone....more
