Tips for your trip
A trip to a Christmas tree farm is always a great family adventure and a little preparation can go a long way. The fields can get muddy, so remember to dress warm and bring your wellies. Remember to pack a tape measure so you don’t bring a tree home that is far too tall for your lounge. It is also worth arriving early, especially at weekends. Don’t forget the rope to secure the tree to your car or a blanket to protect your boot. Always bring snacks too, though most of the farms mentioned have refreshment stalls, it can be cheaper to pack snacks and save queuing time. It can also be helpful to bring your own reusable cup to reduce the use of plastic, this can even save a few pennies on your drink too. Most importantly, enjoy it. Make the most of wandering the farm and take in the beautiful, fresh pine scent.
