Barnes Tree Farm

We will not be open this year, and have made the tough decision to close permanently; we will miss seeing so many friends, neighbors and new faces and being a part of your holiday traditions.

Not sure if it's the forecast, or the beautiful weather today, but we are seeing a lot of familiar faces today!

We've had a lot of questions recently as we get ready for the Christmas tree season to begin, here's a link to our website that may help answer a few more questions.

We look forward to see you and your families soon!

We've recieved several messages from "first-timers" in the last several days..how exciting!

A few things people have been asking...

Once you arrive, you will be greeted with a friendly smile and given a quick idea of what trees might be where, if you are looking for something specific, we'll do our best to point you in the right direction...or if you want to start exploring, have at it.

We have saws readily available located near the shed, twine to help secure your tree to a vehicle and we are happy to help cut, carry and load if you would like the assistance! If desired, we'll be happy to bail your tree to make things a bit easier when you get home.

Trees Available: Scotch & White Pines, Canaan, Douglas and Norway Firs as well as Blue Srpuces. Pines are $34, Firs/Spruces are $44.

Wreaths are $15 and Swags are $8.50

What do you see at a tree farm besides trees and excited people...depends on where you look! At our farm, it's common to see Bald Eagles, American Kestrels (look to the power line across the road), Red-Tailed Hawks, Chickadees,Finches & Cardinals not to mention rabbits, an occasional fox and in warmer, summertime weather.... snakes.
