Piney Acres Farm Christmas Trees

Guests can grab a saw and ride a hay wagon into the fields to choose and cut their own tree, or browse the pre-cut tree yard. While the farm crew shakes, bales, and loads the tree, visitors can warm up in the barn and farm store with complimentary homemade hot cocoa and homegrown popcorn. The farm also features holiday shopping, barnyard animals to feed, and visits with Santa.

Know Before You Go

  • Hours: U-cut fields: Mon-Wed noon–5:30 pm; Thurs & Fri noon–4:30 pm; Saturday 10 am–4:30 pm; Sunday noon–4:30 pm. Pre-cut tree yard: Sunday–Friday noon–7 pm; Saturday 10 am–7 pm. The page also says the U-cut yard closes at 4:30 daily. On Glimmer Lights dates, last entry is 4:30 pm and guests must be out by 5:00 pm; on non-Glimmer Lights dates, last entry is 5:30 pm and guests must be out by 6:00 pm.

Tips & Advice

  • Go to the u-cut fields earlier in the day, because the last entry is firm and comes earlier on Glimmer Lights dates.
  • Call ahead in early November to book a pre-tagging appointment if you want to choose your tree before the season opens.
  • Make sure your car can carry a tree on its roof, since the crew ties it on top and the farm isn't responsible for damage while loading.
  • Plan a weekend afternoon or Glimmer Lights evening visit if the kids want to see Santa, because those are the only times he's there.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and warm layers for walking the tree fields and riding the hay wagon back to the barn.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Glimmer Lights Nights: ride the Piney Express through holiday lights on select Thursday through Sunday evenings. It's new to the farm and may close for weather or low attendance.
  • Visits with Santa during Glimmer Lights shows and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
  • Christmas tree pre-tagging in early November, by appointment only.

Quick Actions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does choose-and-cut work?

Get a guide map from the farm store and a saw from the barn, then head out to the field you want. After you cut your tree, the hay wagon brings you and your tree back to the barn and farm store.

What does the crew do with my tree?

Processing includes a shake on a machine to remove loose needles and a pre-drilled hole for the tree stand if you need one. The crew also bales the tree and secures it on top of your car.

Can I buy a tree that's already cut?

Yes. The pre-cut lot has aisles of fresh live trees sorted by style, including Fraser firs up to 12 feet. Pre-cut trees are available whenever the store is open.

What else is there to do at the farm?

You can feed corn to the barnyard animals and make your own Build A Pet. The farm store has ornaments, nutcrackers, tree toppers, nativity scenes, wreaths and swags. There's also a snack bar.

Is there anything free to eat or drink?

Yes. Homemade hot cocoa and homegrown popcorn are free in the store while the crew gets your tree ready.
