Our farm is friendly, easy-going and offers great family fun by providing an enjoyable and memorable experience of selecting your perfect Christmas tree. A day at Hillside starts by entering our spacious parking lot, grabbing a saw and accessing the fields for your perfect tree by taking a wagon ride, walking or driving (weather and field conditions permitting). Upon your return, your tree is shaken (cleaned) free of charge, then if desired wrapped for a nominal fee, lastly the tree is measured for pricing. The kids can play in the hay stack play area or choose their own small Christmas tree from our Tot Lot pre-cut tree lot. Your family can conclude your experience at Hillside Christmas Tree Farm by visiting the Christmas Barn and enjoying hot chocolate, hot cider, and cookies by the fireplace. You can immerse yourself in the season by joining in the Christmas Carol Sing Along and the themed Christmas display.
