Tips for Choosing Your Christmas Tree
A few simple ways to make your outing more enjoyable:
Go early! Lakes Region farms are popular and often sell out fast, especially after the first weekend of December.
Bring gloves & warm layers. You’ll be walking through fields, and saws can get cold.
Call ahead for tagging policies. Some farms allow early tagging; others offer only cut-your-own on the day of your visit.
Secure your tree safely. Many farms offer netting and twine, but it’s always smart to pack extras.
🎁 Celebrate Local
Choosing a tree from a Lakes Region farm doesn’t just make your home festive, it supports local families, small businesses, and agricultural traditions that make this region so special.
