Wintergreen Tree Farm

This place is overpriced. Most tress are $ 55+ if they look decent. Some are $ 40. The only real reason we came was because the website said they have reindeer, but they didn’t… They have been cleared out quite a bit from previous years so they don’t have that many good trees to choose from.

TOTAL RIP-​OFF! They groom the trees right by the road so they look nice, but you can’t take them home. You only get to choose from the crappy trees away from the road. You get sick of looking at crappy trees, so you buy a ridiculously expensive pre-​cut tree. Our tree from here didn’t even last until Christmas. Home Depot has better trees. The hired help is pretty incompetent and are either kids who didn’t graduate high school or are soon to fail out. Avoid these guys and send the owners to the welfare line where they belong.

We went here today and it was just what we wanted. We found our tree for $ 40! A big noble fir… not the perfect shape but we can trim it to be perfect. The staff is friendly. They have REAL REINDEERS and Santa! Hot cider which my 3 year old loved, hot dogs and HOT LINKS (yum), and my favorite part… FRESH KETTLE CORN. A little holiday shop.
We had to cut our own tree and they provide the equipment. I’m not sure if you can ask someone to cut it for you… that would be nice for the older folk. FYI: $ 2 extra to mesh bag it. They didn’t seem to have a HUGE selection, but it was fine. We found our tree and got our photoshoots in. :)
I’d go back.

This place has a terrible tree selection. They are poorly trimmed, over priced and it doesn’t even smell like trees… It smells like exhaust. You’re only allowed to u-​cut trees that have been pre-​tagged and they’re all wonky shaped and priced between $ 40 and $ 75. Also, don’t let your kids sit be their ‘nice’ fire put; they throw in fresh cut tree scraps which can cause hot sap to spit out… It’s dangerous and the main reason why you’re instructed never to burn you Xmas tree. They should know this. My fiancé and I will be going to Big Lake Tree Farm tomorrow to get our tree. We went there last year and they have a wonderful selection, and the place actually smells proper!

We’d gone to this farm last year and loved it, so went there again this December to get our tree. But after trudging around in the pouring rain for WAY too long, looking at tree after tree that looked perfect, but didn’t have a price tag on it, I wasn’t too impressed. At first I assumed that so many trees weren’t tagged because they weren’t big enough or old enough or something, but then I started noticing that all the best looking, perfect sized trees were the ones that were not tagged, clearly they were the ones they were going to cut themselves and sell. Why have a u-​cut christmas tree farm when you leave such a sparse amount for cutting? Pretty frustrating!

Their web site as of today says they are open every day from 9 – 5 p.m. from after Thanksgiving to ¹²⁄₁₆. Well… we went today ¹²⁄₃ arrived at 4 p.m. and the gate was chained and locked with no one in site.
UPDATE: Before I posted this I left feedback on their web site. With in 2 hours of leaving feedback I had a very apologetic e-​mail with a reasonable explanation and a offer off a discount if we wanted to try another day.

We have been going to this tree farm with our children for more years than I can remember. In 2011 they went under new ownership and quite frankly I didn’t think they needed improvements, but this tree farm just got better!
They have trees in ALL prices ranges. You can do pre-​cut or cut your own. They have always been kid & pet friendly and now they have a Santa from 1 — 7 on Fridays!
My kids always LOVE their hot Apple Cider, and look forward to it even as teens. Now, they are adding a Latte Stand as well. They also have an assortment of Holiday Decorations — each year we usually pick out a cute ornament from there.
The new owners are quite savvy too, they have a facebook page and sent out discount coupons to last year’s customers. Coupon or not, we’ll always come back. Wintergreen Tree Farm is one of our family traditions

The day after Thanksgiving, my family and I headed out to Wintergreen Tree Farm. I knew that they closed at 5 PM and I thought if we got there at 330, that would be enough time to find a tree at this U Cut farm. I was wrong. We searched and searched, but because we have a very narrow space for a tree in our house, the task proved more difficult than I anticipated. The trees that were the perfect size were either out of our price range or they were not tagged (there was a sign that said DO NOT CUT TREES WITHOUT TAGS). So we started to worry. I didn’t want to leave empty handed because my kids would have been disappointed. But we had lost feeling in our toes and they were starting to ache and it was getting dark. We were ready to leave and Colleen (employee) asked if she could help us. I told her what we were looking for and our dilemma, but that I knew that they were closing soon. She said they won’t let anyone into the parking lot after 5 PM but they wouldn’t kick anyone out. She said she could send someone out to help us, so we took her up on the offer. We looked little while more and finally found a tree that was in our price range and the right size. The employee that came to help us told us that the tree we picked was a good tree but that type usually lost a lot of needles quickly and that another type of tree nearby was better because it lasted much longer. I said that the other tree was out of our price range and he said, «You know what? It’s getting cold and dark. I want you guys to get a good tree. I’ll write up this tree for the same price as the other one.» I was in shock. He gave us a substantial discount. I asked him if he was sure about that and he said yes. He said he wanted us to leave their farm happy.
The people at Wintergreen are very caring and gave great customer service. They have a nice bon fire for the customers to warm up around as well as delicious, free hot apple cider.
