Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Dade City, Florida · Pasco County
A family farm outside Dade City, run by the Lay family, where you cut a Florida-grown sand pine, red cedar or Carolina Sapphire cypress with staff on hand to help with the saw.
Walk the field, choose your tree and cut it yourself; tools are provided, and workers can help with the sawing and carry the tree back to the barn, where it is wrapped in netting for the drive home. Fraser firs shipped in from out of state are also sold for anyone who wants a classic fir.
