Tips:

• If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website or Facebook page. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
• ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO - many farms have closed in the past year, and of course, we won't know until the season starts and we find they aren't open! Call to confirm their supply, their hours and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available. All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here !
  DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!
• And please tell the farmer you visit in Northern Nova Scotia that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.

Payment: Cash Only. Cut your Christmas tree the old fashioned way! Choose your favourite tree and cut it from our fields. The family will remember the tree you all chose. We provide trees to large distributors where you can purchase a pre-cut tree, but nothing replaces coming out to our lots and cutting your own! We have two sites, one in Clam Harbour, and the other in Hilden. Both are wonderful so pick the one most convenient for you and pay us a visit. Keep in mind both lots are located in the woods so dress appropriately as depending on weather, things can get messy. We love pets and all dogs are welcome. Baling is included in cost of tree if anyone wishes to have their tree baled. Baling means wrapping your tree which makes it much easier for transporting on or in a vehicle as well as getting the tree into your home. We accept cash only as we have no power at either lot. Both lots have a few hand saws on site for loan but it is recommended you bring your own hand or power saw. We do not provide pre-cut trees at either location. Most importantly, come, bring your family and stay as long as you like. (ADDED: November 14, 2016, JBS)
