A Great Family Project: Choosing & Cutting a Fresh Christmas Tree November 23 to December 23, 2007 2007 Tree Farm Flyer/Map

Thousands of Trees:

We have thousands of beautiful trees available Austrian, White and Scotch Pines and Spruce from $25 - $30 for the many Paul Bunyans who enjoy searching for their special tree and cutting it down themselves. We also have wreaths, door swags, and crosses made from fresh boughs for sale while they last.

When to Come For Your Tree:

We are open every day starting from November 23 through December 23, from 9:00 am until dusk. There are no lights in the fields, so come early enough to find your tree in the daylight. It is also better to come early in the season before the big snows. Don't worry about getting one of our trees too early; if properly cared for, it will keep well beyond Christmas.

Come Prepared:

Bring warm clothing, gloves, and boots. Our hills can at times be very muddy or snowy and the wind very brisk and cold. To save time bring a small bow saw if you have one. However, you can borrow one of ours for a $10 deposit, which is part of the payment on your tree. Know what size tree you need, and remember the trees in the open field look smaller than when they are in the home. If you want a rather large tree, it would be wise to bring some help along.

Along with Christmas Trees, wreaths handmade by Marmion students and staff were sold to help the poor. Volunteers worked 13 days in November and December making 245 wreaths. The 2007 wreaths sale profited $2,940. Those monies were distributed to the following charities:
