Tips:
- If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website or Facebook page. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
- ALWAYS email or call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO
- many farms have closed in the past year, and of course, we won't know until the season starts and we find they aren't open! Call to confirm their supply, their hours
and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available.
All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For
more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here

DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!
- And please tell the farmer you visit in West-central Ohio (Darke, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Shelby) that you found their farm
here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

Click here for our Facebook page. We're a little different than your typical Christmas tree farm. Rather than
monotonous rows and rows of the same size and type of tree, we grow our
trees in a more natural environment, mixing many types and sizes of
evergreens, along with deciduous trees, everywhere on our grounds. We
have full, well formed trees, or whimsical, odd-shaped "Charlie Brown"
trees. Not unlike a real woods! Embark on your adventure with a
toboggan, a bow saw, knee pad, and a 10' measuring stick. Seek then cut
your tree. Note: Our trees seem to magically increase in size once
inside your house! You may want to select a tree slightly smaller than
you think you want. Upon choosing and cutting your tree, place it in the
toboggan and pull it back to the Outpost where a shaker machine will
remove the prior year's needles, and if desired, it can be baled and
netted for an easier ride home. After completing your adventure,
enjoy free hot dogs and hot chocolate, and browse the Christmas shop
where we offer fresh cut wreaths, seasonally painted gourds, and other
Christmas decorations and items.
