Tips:
- If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
- ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO 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 I have no way of knowing, because I can't call or visit every farm every month, let alone every day. 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 OR EMAIL!
- And please tell the farmer you visit in Southwestern Toronto Suburbs 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!

Sloan's Christmas Tree Village and U-Cut is a 250-acre farm near Bothwell, Ontario, approximately 30 km east of Chatham. The farm is owned and operated by John Sloan and his family who has preserved the 110-acre forest and farmed Christmas trees on the surrounding farmland for over 50 years along with his father and brother. Though the farm is currently being used to grow Christmas trees for wholesale and retail purposes, its retail operation is what it is widely known for. Over 4000 families come annually to cut their own tree and enjoy a dozen or more activities, such as a mini train, mazes, horse and wagon rides, cookie decorating and more. As well as Christmas tree production, the farm has been developed as an education and activity centre for school-age children. The unique blend of farming, forestry and fun activities makes Sloan's Christmas Tree Village and U-Cut an outstanding tour destination. (See our school tour page). The farm is also available to companies or groups looking for a unique family-oriented place to bring their staff and staff families. We provide a wide range of activities for families to enjoy during the Christmas season. (See our corporate party page.) For our wholesale buyers, we provide an excellent selection of firs and spruce trees at very competitive prices. (See our wholesale buyer page.)
