Tips & Advice

  • Book your private horse-drawn sleigh, carriage or wagon ride as soon as 2026 reservations open, because a reservation is required for every ride.
  • Come on a Saturday or Sunday if you want to meet Santa in the Events Barn and hear live music on the same visit.
  • The tree farm and Harvest Barn gift shop open Wednesday through Sunday from November 21, so you can pick a tree before the barn activities start.
  • Call the farm to pre-order handcrafted, freshly harvested wreaths, centerpieces and decorations so they are ready when you come to pick them up.
  • Visit on the last weekend for Drinks With The Grinch in Santa's Workshop, where Grinch visits are free and you don't need a reservation.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Drinks With The Grinch in Santa's Workshop on the final weekend: free visits and photos, no reservations needed, all ages welcome.
  • Private horse-drawn sleigh, carriage or wagon rides on Black Friday and weekends, reservation required.
  • Pre-order handcrafted wreaths, centerpieces and decorations by phone.
