Tips

It is an annual tradition for many families to come hike our 200 acres of Christmas Trees in search of the perfect centerpiece to their holiday celebrations. We want you to have a great visit, so here are some tips on how to be prepared!

• Always call the Farmer Jones Crop Report (203-929-8425) to keep up to date on hours, picking conditions and directions.
• Dress in layers. Our farm is located on a hill and weather conditions can be colder than your front porch (it’s often colder up on the hill than it is in our own parking lot).  Wool and fleece clothing, especially socks, are recommended on cold days as well as snowy and wet days.
• Wear appropriate footgear. We are a real working farm - no paved roadways between the trees. You will encounter an all natural terrain. Boots with good firm treads are recommended, and if it has snowed, be prepared with snow boots.
• Harvesting a Christmas tree is hard work. Bring enough helpers to help carry or pull your tree on a tarp to a baling station.
• Bring a tarp to help carry/pull the tree to a bailing station it's a big help and also protects the needles of the tree.
• We provide twine and tree bailing services to wrap your tree tightly for the ride home.
• We provide handsaws to our guests. On really busy weekends (the first few in December) if you have a handsaw, it may be wise to bring it so you don’t have to wait for one to be returned. We cannot allow power saws of any kind (sawz-all, chain saws, etc) or axes into the fields.
• Before you visit – measure the height of your ceiling, then bring a tape measure to the field. Trees tend to look smaller in the field than they would in your home, especially when you bring it home and put it in a good tree stand.
• We provide parking areas for your vehicles – however, space is limited and therefore we do not have the ability to provide room for tailgate parties. It is expected every car in our lot will leave with at least one tree. We love to see guests standing at their tailgates, sipping some hot cocoa from a thermos, after their hikes in the fields; however tents, chairs, picnic blankets, cooking of any kind, ball playing and the like can't be allowed due to safety/fire concerns. We hope you can have that part of your adventure at a different location.  Please see our complete policy on tailgating and parking lot refreshments.
• Smoking and alcohol are not allowed on our farm.
• Dogs are allowed in the fields (not in buildings) at Christmas time. Please keep them on the leash at all times and come prepared for scooping’ after your dog.
