How to Find the Perfect Christmas Tree

First Timers

If this is your first year joining us at Windy Acorn Farm, welcome! We are a small family farm sitting on 70 acres in Woodbury, Vermont.

Arrival

When you arrive, you’ll park in the drive at the house or on the road. We will be there to greet you. The tree stands are behind the house and we might be there helping another customer. We will do our best to guide you.

Find Your Perfect Tree

We are happy to show you where to find your perfect tree, or feel free to head out into the fields. We have handsaws available at the house for your use. Please make sure that you place the saws back for the next customer. We do not allow gas powered chainsaws. If you need help cutting down your tree, we are happy to do that for you, just ask! Look for us, we’ll be walking around ready to assist you

Size it Up

When you look for a tree - you need to look from the top and down. Very different from how you would cut a conventionally grown Christmas tree. Cut the tree high - at least 2 whorls of branches from the bottom. We have examples of stumps that we are happy to show you so you know how to do it - just ask. You are welcome to cut the tree smaller after you have cut it off the main trunk. It can be really hard to determine the size when you are looking up!! Please do not abandon cut trees in the field. You pay for what you cut.

Transport Your Tree

Once you’ve picked out and cut your tree, you need to transport your tree back to the parking area. We are happy to help or lend you a sled to bring the tree back on. Please pay one of us with cash or check.

Load & Go!

Once you’ve paid, we’re happy to help you load your tree on your vehicle. Remember to bring straps or string to tie down your tree.
