Christmas tree farms in Ontario
Milton | Springridge Farm
Cherished memories are made when you find the perfect tree with loved ones and decorate it together. The tree becomes the heart of your home for the holidays, under which gifts are collected and opened.
Whether you want to cut down your own Christmas tree or choose a pre-cut tree, the scent and freshness of a real tree adds so much to the festive cheer of the season.
Plan a road trip to one of these Ontario Christmas tree farms to select the perfect tree for your home.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Dress warmly with comfortable footwear and clothing you don’t mind getting dirty.
- Bring work gloves for when you’re handling the tree.
- Consider bringing a hand saw in case limited saws are available at the farm. Note that electric or powered chainsaws are generally not permitted.
- Other tools to bring include twine, a tarp to help transport big trees and to line your car, and ropes and cords to secure your tree on your vehicle.
- Some tree farms welcome well-behaved, leashed dogs. Always check in advance before you bring your four-legged friend.
