Shamrock Christmas Tree Farm

Always so busy. Parking is tight, small trees, 75 bux– If the tree is only as tall as my girlfriend it’s just not a tree.
Nicer kept quality of tree though… Just nothing good enough.
Enjoy the cool fire place though.
Good for the kids if you’ve got em I suppose.
Nothing for us this year… Or last… Or the year before, three strikes you’re out.

Unless you want to cut a four foot tree not the place to cut your own as the website says. They have precut normal size trees but are overpriced. Overall has that tourist trap feel.

Totally worth the trip out east to visit this GREAT place! There’s a lot of great Christmas trees to choose from. My personal favorite is the Fraser Fir. Best smelling trees you can find. They also have HUGE fields of trees where you can cut down your own.
A must is to take the kids on the train ride around the property. They loved it. Another fantastic attraction is the huge fire pit they have pumping out the heat to keep warm. Really great place, plenty of guys there to help you carry the tree from the farm, shake out the dead needles, wrap it and tie it to the top your vehicle. Extremely friendly also. We had such a great experience last year we made sure to go back this year.
If you’re looking for a place for the family to pick your own and cut down your own tree, you’ve found it. Also, better prices than most places

Great tree farm! Reasonably priced (65 for cut your own trees) and good selection. They actually cut them down for you but if you can deal with that it’s a nice experience. The staff are all super friendly

Holy CRAP was this a great experience!
Last year (2011), we got our first real tree, and it was just awful. We bought a tree from one of those guys in the parking lot of a Brooklyn supermarket. Not only was it was shabby and stringy (and that was the BEST tree he had), it was completely dried up and brown before Dec 25^th. I knew this year (2012), we owed our two-​year-​old daughter a better Christmas tree. I decided to try the East End of Long Island.
The East End of LI has NEVER steered me wrong (nor has Unilocal when used in said area), and our tree-​hunting endeavor was no different. As soon as we got to Riverhead, I Unilocaled «Christmas Trees» and Shamrock Christmas Tree Farm immediately came up with rave reviews.
(A quick note, come early in the season [it gets busy] and make sure you bundle up! [it gets cold])
Row after row of lush, verdant Christmas trees of various sizes, shapes, and I believe a few different species greeted us. Our daughter ran from tree to tree yelling «Dis one! No, dis one! NO, DIS ONE!!!» We finally decided on our tree, and flagged down a very polite and pleasant employee to carefully cut down, wrap, transport, and load the tree onto our car.
Tip these guys! They really have the Holiday Spirit!
Then we decided to check out the other fun stuff they had. We bought a ticket for the train ride, then sat down and had some cocoa and popcorn. We bought a lovely ornament and a beautiful wreath for our front door. There is a big outdoor fireplace/​bonfire-​thingy that everyone crowded around for warmth. There was wine and hot cider available also, so of course I had some.
AND SANTA WAS THERE! My daughter was thrilled, but was too nervous to talk to him. She just kind of walked up and whispered, «Hi Santa.» But he was a very kind Santa, and soon she was talking to him and posing for pictures.
The best part in my opinion was the Train Ride. It was crowded, so the wait was a bit of a pain, but then the train takes you all the way around the grounds. You get to see all of the young trees on the various lots that will open in the future. They are in various stages of growth, and you really get to see all of the preparation and care that goes into their trees.
And of course, my daughter got a kick out of waving to all of the people on the farm and yelling «Ho Ho Ho! Meeeewwey Cwistmas!!!»
The best part of all? I’m writing this in February, and even though my lazy ass still hasn’t thrown out the damn Christmas tree, it’s still as lush and verdant as ever!
In all, whether or not you have kids, you need to take a trip out to Shamrock Christmas Tree farm this December and get your Christmas tree from them. Not only will you have a great experience with wonderful service, you’ll have an awesome tree to show for it!

They say you can cut your tree, but you don’t. You choose it, they cut it. Also they have only one section to choose from and there was hardly anything left. When we asked if we could go to another section, they said no. Left empty handed and very disappoint.
