Christmas Tree Season

For nearly 80 years, the Jones family has been welcoming families to our farm to harvest Christmas trees. We are working hard once again to assure that everyone who visits us during this Christmas season has a joyful and safe time. We have an exceptional selection of trees, both for cut-your-own in our tree fields as well as fresh cut for you in our Barnyard Village. We offer a wide variety of trees at different price ranges. 

Overview of Our Beautiful Farm

At our 550-acre farm, we have over 200 acres of Christmas trees. For tree season, the parking is at three distinct areas, with each area having its own special offerings:

• Barnyard Village:  Home of our wide selection of fresh, pre-cut trees. This is also the location of the Wreath Barn, Winery and Gift Shop Barn, as well as the cookie and cider sales. On weekdays, guests park at this farm for pre-cut as well as harvest your own trees. 606 Walnut Tree Hill Road, Shelton. Open daily during tree season; weather permitting.
• Candy Cane Hill:Large selection of harvest your own trees. On many weekends, we open the hilltop for parking. On weekdays, guests park at the Barnyard Village and take a short walk to the Candy Cane Hill fields. 606 Walnut Tree Hill Road, Shelton. Open daily during tree season; weather permitting.
• Merry Berry Valley: A lovely, historic part of our farm with more harvest your own trees. The full Valley and its parking area is only open the Thanksgiving weekend and first weekend in December. On weekdays, guests may park at the Barnyard Village and walk across the street to the East Slope, a closer section of the Valley farm. 555 Walnut Tree Hill Road, Shelton.

Reservations on Peak Weekends

Reservations help our farmers moderate the traffic on our very busy days as well as provide important information to our guests. Reservations are only needed on 5 days ~ the peak weekends of Thanksgiving (Nov 27-29) and the first weekend in December (Dec 5 and 6). On the other 30 days of the season, reservations are optional, but can be helpful to provide you updates on weather and planning your visit.

Hours

• Starting November 21, we are open daily from 9am - 5:30pm. We are closed on Thanksgiving and close at 3 pm on Christmas Eve.
• Guests planning to harvest their own tree must arrive by 4pm. *Sorry, no exceptions! Please allow additional time for traffic.*

Harvest-Your-Own Trees

• Our Harvest-Your-Own fields are well stocked with beautiful trees up to 10 feet. While there are select taller trees in the field, the supply is limited, and guests should come prepared to walk further to find them.
• The pricing of harvest your own trees varies with the day you visit: harvest your trees have a lower price on weekdays, with slightly higher prices on weekends, and extra on the Thanksgiving three-day weekend. The Thanksgiving weekend has become a high demand weekend needing extra staff and services.
• In addition to a beautiful fresh tree, guests who harvest their own tree will receive a farm-designed and locally-made pewter ornament.
• Please remember all trees in the harvest your own fields are the same price, even small baby trees. If you wish to purchase a smaller tree, please visit the Barnyard where we have a wide selection of less expensive and smaller Elf Trees.

Farm Fresh-Cut Trees

• Our pre-cut trees are grown and freshly harvested at our nearby fields to bring guests a great selection every day of the week. A tree grows a foot a year, so many of the larger trees we have been caring for, fertilizing, and hand pruning for over a decade! Our trees range from 3 feet tall to 12 feet tall. Our tree prices range according to their height and variety. 
• We also have a lovely selection of freshly-cut Elf trees under 4 feet tall in our Barnyard Village.
• For guests interested in cutting a smaller tree, there is one designated field adjacent to the Barnyard of specially tagged Harvest-Your-Own Elf Balsam trees.

Additional Information

• Our Holiday Gatherings Gift Shop and Winery continues to offer unique farm and winery gifts in our historic Winery Barn.
• Our beloved farm-made Christmas cookies are available in the Holiday Courtyard adjacent to the Winery Barn. We offer 4-packs of our trail mix cookies, as well as cold and hot cider.
• We offer complimentary tastes from a selection of our most popular wines on the weekends. On the weekdays from 12 noon to 5 pm, we plan to offer full tastings. If full tastings are not available on a weekday afternoon, a few complimentary tastes of select wines will be available. Please note, there is no indoor seating during this season.
• Dogs are welcome in the tree fields while you get your harvest your own tree IF THEY ARE ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES, no exceptions. Dogs are not recommended in our Barnyard Village when getting a pre-cut tree since there are less areas for dogs to walk. When you clean up after your pet, dispose of the waste bags in a farm trash can. Also, please note pets cannot enter certain areas, such as the Wreath Barn, Winery Barn, or any indoor spaces.
