Christmastrees - Covered Bridge Farm

Christmas Trees

All the trees that were ready for 2020 have been sold. We are closed for the season.

The Covered Bridge Farm is a family owned and operated cut your own Christmas tree farm growing trees on about 20 acres. We have been selling trees from this farm for the past 30 years.

We grow Fir and Spruce trees for cutting. Every tree is sheared (shaped) every summer to provide a dense and narrow tapered tree. There are at least six varieties of Balsam Fir, some up to 12 ft; two varieties of Spruce, up to 16 ft; and several varieties of hybrid Fraser Fir crosses, including Canaan Fir; up to 13 ft. We have very few Fraser Fir as they do not grow well in our heavier soil, and those that do grow are dispersed(in sandy areas) in our balsam fields.

This will be our sixth year to offer full sized Meyer Spruce trees, up to 12 feet. We used one the past 6 years and can confirm that this is one tough tree. Its stiff branches will hold heavier ornaments and the needle retention, we feel, exceeds anything on the market.

Meyer Spruce

(most trees do not have cones, but this one from several years ago was such a nice tree with the retained cones, had to keep it on the web site.)

We are a cut your own tree farm and have no wholesale or pre-cut "premium" trees. Therefore, our tree field has the higher quality trees remaining in the field for the customer to cut.

This last growing season has given us timely rain so the trees are well hydrated. They may not take up water from the tree stand right away, so be patient with them.

Hand saws are available to borrow. We provide 400# poly twine to help secure your tree on your vehicle. We will clean you tree with a Toro blower or Shakee shaker to remove any dead needles, live squirrels, and owl nests.

Tree bailing (wrapping) with #2 recyclable green and red soft plastic netting

is available for $3.00.

There are evergreen tops, birch trunks/stems, and dogwood for your outdoor planter arrangements.

Our gift shop has a good selection of ornaments, seasonal decorations,

An LED lighted owl

An LED lighted glass tree about 14 inches tall,

We also have lighted canvas prints, and

We have the Arctic Ice Lantern molds. These reusable molds let you freeze water into decorative luminaries to brighten your holiday displays. For more information, visit the manufacturer's web site by clicking here.

And using LED lights and a few extra boughs from your tree, you can really create some cool looking ice lanterns. We made this one 11/18/14.

and this one 11/28/2018

We also sell tree watering funnels . These funnels make watering your tree in the stand easier.

We also have for sale the Firebuggz - a family fun way to roast marshmallows or hot dogs. It is like using a jig fishing pole over a camp fire.

Part of our sustainability farming practices include chipping evergreen boughs to use as an "acid" mulch for our blueberry field. For the past 7 years, the photovoltaic panels on our house have provided electricity to help run our farm operation.

We participate in TREES FOR TROOPS and donate trees for our veterans and active military personnel.
