First Time To Cut Your Own Tree? Easy
Step By Step Instructions
1. One of our friendly greeters will give you an information sheet
and a tree claim tag when you arrive.
2. Pick up a saw and a measuring stick.
3. Catch a ride on one of the wagons that will take you out to the fields
.
4. Take your time and
find "your" special Christmas tree.
7. Pull your tree out to the end of the row where you can catch a ride back
to the measuring, shaking and baling area.
8. All trees will be
measured , shaken and baled. After your
tree has been measured you will be given a portion
of the tree claim tag to take to the cashier.
Please notify us at this time if you do not want your tree baled.
Baling is done automatically unless you advise not to. Baling is a process that wraps your tree for transport and allows for easier entry into your
home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Take the tree claim tag to the cashier where it will be marked paid and returned to you. Your tree will be waiting in the claim area. You must turn in your tree claim tag to pick up your tree.
5. Use the saw to cut down your tree. Always cut away from you.
Be sure to cut the trunk as low to the ground as possible. It is important to allow enough trunk for the tree
stand to hold the tree. Do not cut the bottom
limbs off of your tree because this
can ruin the entire shape of the tree.

The tree farm is not responsible for securing your
tree to your vehicle.

drink as much as a gallon of water per day. .
