Policies and Safety
Securing Trees to Vehicles
Unfortunately, due to uninsurable liability, we are no longer able to secure your tree to your vehicle. We regret this reality. For decades we enjoyed providing this service to increase your experience at our farm. We will continue to carry trees to your car and provide time tested string for your use if you choose to use our string instead of your own. This change began in 2023 and our customers appreciated our predicament and did a great job without incident.
Pets
We love to see your furry friends enjoy the greatest season of the year! Pets must be leashed at all times for their safety as well as others! Dogs are not permitted to ride on wagons with other guests. Dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.
