Anderson Tree Farm
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Plainfield, Illinois · Will County
A Plainfield farm and landscape nursery where you can cut a Norway spruce, Colorado spruce or white pine from the field or pick a pre-cut North Carolina Fraser fir, with a warming room and fire pit.
The field selection for cutting is limited, and most trees sold are pre-cut Fraser firs from North Carolina, so call before you go if cutting your own matters to you. Balled-and-burlapped trees are also sold for families who want to plant their tree in the yard after the holidays. Every tree gets shaken and wrapped.
Wreaths and roping are handmade, hot chocolate is free, and a warming room and fire pit with s'mores make it easy to linger. A taco vendor has served food on site in past seasons.
