Our farm is a great place to get into the Christmas spirit.
Our free tractor and wagon rides to the tree fields make cutting a tree fun and easy. We have bonfires to warm fingers and toes.
We always have a selection of precut trees to choose from if you don’t wish to cut your own!
We provide handsaws (and no, our insurance provider won’t allow you to bring a chainsaw). Please read our Christmas FAQs for more detail.

What goes into pricing?
This is one of our most frequently asked questions. The short answer is it depends. All of our trees are individually priced with a tag.
We take great pride in growing some of the highest quality Christmas trees in Ontario. We also have a tree for every family’s preference, style and budget.
The grading standards for Christmas trees is a good guide to help determine tree pricing.
Some of the factors we consider are:
- Tree species
- Shape of taper
- Density of foliage and branch spacing
- Production costs
- Health of tree
- Height of tree
Tree Care
Caring for Your Tree
Remember, a Christmas tree is a living thing. Look after it as carefully you would cut flowers.
Once you select a tree, follow these tips to keep it fresh and safe:
- If you buy your tree more than 24 hours before you plan to set it up, store the tree outdoors in a shaded area out of the wind until you are ready to bring it into the house.
- When you bring the tree into the house for decorating, make another fresh cut across the trunk. Use a tree stand that holds plenty of water (up to 4 litres is recommended).
- Trees are especially thirsty for the first few days and prefer warm tap water. They may drink up to four litres of water per day, so be sure to check daily and supply fresh water as needed. If you allow the water level to drop below the bottom of the tree, a seal will form just as it does on a cut flower and a new cut will be necessary.
- Place your tree away from fireplaces, radiators, televisions, and other sources of heat. Turn off the tree lights when you leave and before you retire at night.
- Avoid the use of combustible decorations. Check all electric lights and connections. Do not use lights with worn or frayed cords.
Following these measures should ensure a beautiful tree that stays fresh.
