Cut your own, or grab a pre-cut

Drive right into the fields, pick from tens of thousands of trees, and cut it yourself, shaking and baling on us. In a hurry? Both farms keep a full pre-cut selection by the yard, so you can be loaded and gone without touching a saw.

Need something bigger than a living room tree?

We grow tall Christmas trees for offices, lobbies, churches, and main streets, and we sell landscape stock by the truckload the rest of the year. Tell us the height and the quantity and we will tell you what is standing in the field.

Ask about large trees Wholesale & bulk

Your family picks the tree. Ours grew it for ten years.

We grow our own, on hundreds of acres of central Minnesota, planted and sheared and looked after by our family and crew rather than bought in from somewhere it never snows. Fraser and Balsam fir, Black Hills spruce, Scotch and Norway pine, growing in rows some of us have walked since childhood.

When you tag a tree at the baling line, you're at the end of a decade of quiet work, and the start of a pretty good story in your living room.

Picture day, spring 2026

Every one of these people plants, shears, digs, bales, or loads trees for a living. If you buy a tree from us this year, one of them touched it.

No two trees grow alike. No two Christmases either.

Cut your tree open and it has rings like a fingerprint, every year it grew, right there. Yours will have this one in it.

After dark

The lots glow until 9. Bring the kids in pajamas.

String lights, sawdust, and that smell. Evening is the secret best time to pick a tree: quieter rows, easier parking, and hot cocoa tastes better in the cold.

Never cut your own tree before?

Every family tradition has a year one, and it's easier than you think. We hand you the saw, you pick the tree, and we shake, bale, and help you load it. Here's how a farm visit works, what to wear, and when to come.

Wreaths from 12 inches to five feet.

Hand-made wreaths, garland, swags, spruce tops, and porch pots, made from the same trees we grow, at every farm and lot.

Yes, a tree farm with a camel.

Clark showed up as a baby, got his name from a guest vote, and now has a bigger fan club than we do. He's out on every free event weekend.

Rudolph’s-eye view

Hundreds of acres. Pick one tree.

Trucks rolling out of the rows with a tree in the bed, the wagon working its way through the snow, the baling line humming. This is what a Saturday in December looks like from above.
