Christmas tree choose-and-cut
IS CLOSED FOR THE 2023 SEASON.
We've seen high demand and been increasingly oversold the past couple of years. We ran this season by reservation only, and it worked well for most folks. We wish we could serve everyone, but our trees take about 12 years from planting to harvest, so inventory doesn't adjust very quickly!
We may continue with reservations next year, but haven't decided yet, so ... check back here in 11 months or so.
The choose and cut process includes:
-
We give you a saw and super high-tech dragging twine, point you towards the trees, and send you on your way for a Christmas tree cutting adventure!
-
You walk around endlessly searching for the "just right" tree, and in the process spend time outside together in some of the prettiest country in the Midwest
-
When you return, we will help shake and net your tree - you like this for practical reasons, but the kids love the process too!
-
Enjoy free, self-serve hot cider and chocolate, enjoyed by the kid in everyone.
Cut-your-own Prices: $6/foot pines (longer needles)
$7/foot spruce and fir (shorter needles)
To find us go to our map and directions page. To learn more about our diverse, sustainably grown, chemical-free trees, follow the links on the left. Feel free to email trees@oneotaslopes.org with questions.
What's so special about our trees?
-
Specialty trees - from tabletops for the apartment up to 15 feet for your vaulted ceiling or church, all hand sheared for diversity of shape, fullness/openness, and character
-
Chemical free - no paint, pesticides, or other potential toxins or allergens applied to our trees, just a fresh tree in its birthday suit
-
Sustainably grown trees - good for soil, water, air and especially wild life of all kinds, even kids (see more at the OS difference and prairie trees)
-
Great diversity - Norway, White, and Blue Spruce, Scotch, Red, and White Pine, and Balsam and Fraser Fir - quite possibly the greatest home-grown diversity at any choose and cut farm in the Midwest (if you fine a farm with more, let us know!)
