Choose and Cut Your Christmas Tree
This is the event where you can take in all of the activities and then find and cut a beautiful fresh Christmas tree for your family to enjoy. If you desire, cleaning and baling of the Christmas tree is available. Our very talented workers will also tie the tree to you vehicle for a safe ride home.
Christmas is for Children. Do bring them and watch the memories created. More importantly, be prepared to spend some time , have a hot dog or two by the pine log campfire, take in the beauty of the land and the enjoyment of the people who will be with you at the farm.
Reservations are not required. However, we are only open on weekends from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you wait till the weekend before Christmas, do call or check this web site to make sure we are still open.
Moonlight Adventure
We have several families who by choice or circumstances are out in the Christmas tree fields after dark trying to find their family Christmas tree. Without exception, they claim this to be the most fun they ever had as a family. After all, who cares what the Christmas tree looks like when you remember how you found it by moonlight.
For the families and their special friends who want to try something different, we offer you this once in a life time experience. (You do have the option of coming back the next morning and seeing if the tree looked as beautiful by moonlight as it does by sunlight before you cut it. Huntsville has several good hotels.)
Details are as follows:
Limited to Friday, December 3, from 3:30 PM to 8 PM.. It gets dark around 5:30 PM.
You must find your Christmas tree by moonlight or provide your own flashlight. (No candles, wood burning torches, lit matches or oil lamps will be allowed.)
A moonlight hayride through the coyote infested woods and past the haunted house included.
Free roast your own hot dogs with all the fixin's will be available.
Pine log fire will be burning for the telling of tall tales and to keep the coyotes at bay.
Event will be canceled if rain occurs or if the coyotes are hungry.
Reservations required by either e-mail or telephone.
Since the night in the country can be cold and damp, please dress appropriately.
For those who have preselected your tree in October, you can cut and take it at this time. Obviously if you find another more desirable tree in the dark, we do allow substitutions. For those who fear finding, cutting and taking home the ugliest tree in the fields, we suggest maybe coming up before 5:30 PM when we still have light.
Procrastinator Weekend will be Saturday, December 18, and maybe Sunday, December 19 for those who like to find their Christmas tree at the last minute.
Christmas Eve is only four days away! Many retail lots and Christmas tree farms are already closing or getting close to close for Christmas. Since the unexpected can prevent your family from coming earlier, we do stay open for you.
However, no activities, hay rides or food of any type will be available. You will be given a saw, measuring pole and price sheet to help you in your last minute search for this year's Christmas tree. Since Denny and Marge will be handling everything, you may even be forced to wait a few minutes for your beautiful Christmas tree to be cleaned, baled and tied on to your car. Please be patient!
Cash or check only.
If time permits, call (936) 377-4044 to verify we are open or to let us know you are on the way. We do close promptly at 5 PM and maybe even earlier if everyone appears to have their family Christmas tree. So, please call.
