We have been coming to this farm for about four years to cut down our own tree and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The family that owns the farm is just lovely and the other people who work there are just as friendly and helpful. They are definitely getting more popular(it is easy to see why once you have been!) they ran out of trees to cut down a few weeks before Christmas this year! The owner says he has to plan 8 or 9 years in advance for the number of trees he thinks they’ll need. My one criticism would be they don’t update the website often, so I would recommend calling ahead to make sure they still have trees available. Free hot chocolate inside the shop and pooches on leashes are welcomed:) everything about this farm gets me in the Christmas spirit!

I have been to Cedar Ledge three years in a row for my Christmas tree. They have a small selection of pre-cut trees but the bulk of their business is of the cut your own variety. They have plenty of parking, free hot chocolate, offer tree shaking(to get rid of loose needles) and tying included in the tree price, as well as providing a saw. They’ll even help you put it on your car should you need a hand. This year they started to offer a wagon ride to the top of their farm(it is a very steep hill/ledge) if you aren’t feeling up to the walk. That was disappointing since most people were too lazy to go to the top, leaving a bigger and better selection for me who was willing to walk! There are carts to walk your tree down the hill strategically placed all over the farm. They have a good selection of trees, many Norway Spruce, Blue Spruce, Canaan Fir, and many others. Most are priced at around $ 45. Also, this is one of the few places that welcomes dogs, as their own dog Ginger wanders around the tree prep area. Keep ‘em leashed and pick up any poop so they continue to welcome dogs! All in all, a great family run tree farm.
