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 Eastern Connecticut (Windham and New London Counties) 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!

A visitor writes on December 11, 2009: "The directions to follow the 'Green Tree signs' were not correct. We took exit 92 off 95 North and saw no Green Tree signs. This causes an acute safety problem because you are allowed a right or left turn at the bottom of this exit. If you don't see these signs you are in trouble.
