Our Choose Now, Cut Later Program is back for 2026! Choose Now, Cut Later will be available Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and 18 (12 p.m. – 5 p.m. both days). Families may visit either the Ellis Family Farm or the Orchard Family Farm on these dates to preselect a tree. This usually means warmer temps and beautiful fall colors!

How does it work? For our Choose Now- Cut Later option, we will provide a tag and ribbon to secure the tree so we can find it later when you are ready to have it harvested. When you are ready for your tree, give us a call one day ahead, and we will have it ready for pickup when you arrive. You will pay at pickup and avoid waiting on busy days to have the tree cut. Note, if you are planning to choose a tree 10’ and higher, preselecting a tree and having it harvested before you arrive is a great option and time saver for you on our busy days!

We look forward to our 2026 season!

Great info!

Do allergies prevent your home from having a real Christmas tree during the holiday season? According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, evergreen pollens, with their thick, waxy outer coating, have never been considered a significant allergen, and are unlikely to cause a reaction.
A 6-7’ Fraser fir grows in the field for approx. 8 years before it is harvested. In many cases allergic reactions are not caused by the tree itself, but things on the tree, like dust and other pollens that have settled on the tree over all those years while in the field. Hosing the tree down with water before taking it into the house will help reduce or eliminate the allergens on the tree. You can also use a spray bottle with a mild detergent like Dawn (1/4 tsp is plenty) to break down any settlements on the tree. Just mix the Dawn in a spray bottle, mist down the tree, and then hose it off. And if you're worried this might harm the tree or dry it out, no worries - this will not harm the tree at all.
