No Charlie Brown Tree this Year! It’s time to Deck the Tree in Tinsel

I’ll admit, our Christmas tree lives in a box in the basement year-round.

However, many families in Southwest Michigan have a wonderful tradition of trekking out to a tree farm in search of the perfect tree to adorn their house throughout the holiday season. The smell of pine in the air and excitement building as kids traipse through the farm searching for the perfect tree.

Many farms offer holiday extras like warm beverages, wagon rides, cookies and a visit with jolly ol’ St. Nick.

We have compiled a list of area Christmas tree farms and nursery locations offering a variety of tree types specified by u-cut, choose-and-cut, and pre-cut options.

Call ahead to verify the selection and hours. If you’re looking for the full experience of cutting the tree yourself we suggest confirming regulations with the farm before heading out.
