McCurdy Tree Farm & Landscape

SCAM SCAM SCAM beware
. A big area of the available trees are actually pre cut trees that McCurdy buries the trunks in the ground. They stabilized the cut trees underground so that you think you are cutting a fresh tree but really you are getting a pre-​cut tree that you are cutting for the second time.
We didn’t fully realize this until leaving, so I asked an employee who said no they didn’t do that, but then when I questioned why there were wood chips all around the trunk areas of trees etc the woman in charge stepped in and said yes they do bury cut trees and added it was «for your convenience so they aren’t so spread out»
This is so ridiculous it is almost unbelievable. So we took a hayride, got wet kneeling on the ground to saw an already cut tree, then dragged it out through the muddy snow and paid around $ 80 for this experience. The tree is dry and I hope it lasts till Christmas.
SCAM SCAM SCAM… I feel like a fool and McCurdy’s should feel like the Grinch:(

Christmas trees are way too expensive. Not worth all the hype of their wagon rides, etc. Dont waste your time or money. Go elsewhere… there’s a lot better selection, cheaper prices, and a lot less commercial right down the road in Adams county off route 15.

This place has gotten worse over the years and twice as expensive as anywhere else. Their quality is poor and they try to make it up with a wagon ride and a memory. We stopped going there and went to Goods this yea. Much better quality trees and no wagon bs. The needles on the Mccurtys trees start to fall within several days of bringing them home. My tree from Goods has not dropped a needle in the two weeks I’ve had it. Don’t go to this place!

I’ve been cutting my own Christmas tree every year since I was a child. It’s a family tradition and one I hold quite dear. McCurdy’s has taken that tradition and put a nasty spin on it. After a wagon ride out to the field and 45 minutes of walking through the farm we picked our perfect tree. When I knelt to cut it I grabbed the trunk and the tree pulled a trick from the Exorcist and spun 360 degrees… I’m no rocket scientist but this isn’t normal. As i looked around, all of trees were like this. I sought an answer and one of the employees sheepishly admitted that they cut all of the trees in this section, brought them in from somewhere else and sunk them in PVC tubes and then covered their tracks with mulch. The whole freaking hillside was covered in a «fake» tree farm. I found the whole thing deeply insulting. As i walked around i saw employees routinely covering the exposed PVC pipes with mulch so we idiots wouldn’t realize it was all sham. It was late in the afternoon, too late to find another farm. We cut our tree and added insult to injury when we paid a disgusting $ 90 for a 7 ½ foot Frasier Fir. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK.

My family went to McCurdy’s Tree Farm the first time this weekend, and we had a great time! We chose to cut our own Christmas tree, rather than buying one of the pre-​cut trees out front. They provide you with a saw (if you don’t bring your own), and all of the information/​guidance you could need on choosing the right type of tree (I think they had nine different species of trees).
They had plenty of staff on hand that made sure everyone knew where to go to find what they were looking for, we didn’t have to wait longer than 5 minutes for a tractor heading into the field or back out, and they had our tree baled as soon as we had it out of the field. The longest part by far was us choosing the right tree.
Prices seemed a bit high, but not unreasonable, and varied greatly with tree size, species, and fullness.
