- Check their website or social media for the most up-to-date opening dates and Santa visit schedules before planning your trip.
- Consider bringing gloves and warm clothing, as you'll be outdoors selecting and cutting your tree.
- If you plan to plant your tree after the holidays, opt for the 'ball & bag' option for a live tree.
- Make a day of it by combining your tree selection with the farm's festive train and wagon rides.
