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 York County, Pennsylvania 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.

    Comments from a visitor on December 11, 2010: "I just know that we live off Windsor Road and this tree farm is maybe 5 minutes away. It's close and convenient. It\'s just a great place to walk through and cut down a Christmas tree. They give you a saw and rope if you need it. There are 2 sides to meander through. Neat location, easy to get to. Really reasonable prices. I think they have hot cider and cookies FREE! I also think they have greens and maybe wreaths. It's worth checking out."
