Where to Cut Your Own Christmas Tree
Start a new holiday tradition and turn tree hunting into a festive family outing!


Ahh, there’s nothing like setting out in the old family station wagon and heading to the tree farm to find your perfect Christmas tree. You’re all bundled up in your hats, gloves, and scarves, holding thermoses full of hot cocoa, as you sing Christmas carols together on the way (in perfect harmony, of course)… Is this you? Me neither, but if you and your family want to “choose and cut” your own Christmas tree, here are some places nearby to give it a try. As for the carols and the cocoa? Up to you!
