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
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 Tolland County, Connecticut 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!

Comments from a visitor on December 20, 2011:
"We were not able to get hayrides on the day we arrived but it was a
great experience and we also were dazzled by their wreathes. We
purchased a new style tree stand and were pleased that they wrapped
the tree and loaded it for us (they were so very nice). This year we
went to a different farm that was closer (Dzen) and although they
were nice they had no knowledge of the new tree stands and could not
drill the hole and told us no one in our area could. Thanks to your
site we were able to locate Cedar Ledge again and we will be
returning there today (and probably always now). I also use your
site in the fall for apple picking. Thanks for designating the
organic farms, too. Great job!"
