Holiday Farm
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · New Hartford, Connecticut · Litchfield County
A New Hartford farm in the same family since 1932, where you walk wooded fields of Canaan fir, spruce and white pine to cut your own tree, with trails, ponds and a brook on the property.
Staff hand you a saw and point you toward the kind of tree you have in mind, and they can help with cutting if you want a hand. Your tree is wrapped for the ride home at no charge, and staff help load it onto the car.
Pay by cash or check, since credit cards are not taken. Restrooms are available. The farm sells out some years, so check its website before heading out late in the season. Photographers can use the grounds for a daily fee.
