CHRISTMAS TREES & TREE PURCHASING PROCESS

Parking is always free along the county road. When you come in through the main gate you are only a short walk away from the Christmas trees. 

Saws will be provided to cut trees. Only trees that are tagged are available this year. Please do not cut down a tree that doesn't have a tag on it. Staff members will be  walking around answering any questions you may have. Once your Christmas tree is cut take it to our tree processing station (near the red gate entrance) . There we will bale your tree and provide twine to secure your tree to your vehicle (staff members will not be able to help with this). Trees are paid for next to the tree processing station. 

At The Farm at Alum Creek, we want your Christmas tree to last as long as possible! Follow these tips to keep your tree fresh longer:

• Cut 1/2 inch from the trunk of the tree before you place it in the tree stand. 
• Use fresh water from water bottles or an outside faucet to keep your tree fresh. DO NOT use water with a softener. The salt in the softener will dry your tree out. 
• Be sure to choose a tree stand that fits your tree. 
• Your tree must NOT be placed near a heat source. (For example: direct sunlight, heaters, fireplaces)
• Be sure the water in the tree stand always sits above the base of the tree. Check water level daily. If water falls below the base of the tree, the fresh cut will form a seal that will not allow water to get through, causing your tree to dry out. 

All tree sales are final. We are not responsible for your tree once it leaves the farm premises.
