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 email or 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

DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!

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.)
