A Local's Guide To Christmas Tree Farms in Connecticut

Christmas Tree “Hunting” has been a long-standing family tradition that we never skip out on. Growing up, we would cut down a 10 - 15 foot tree for our family’s Barn every year— annnd many years we would hit several tree farms before finding the perfect one (yes, mom, we KNOW you want one with pine cones & berries). 

For us, heading to local tree farms is about so much more than just cutting down the perfect tree— we love the entire experience (and for Roscoe, it's alllll about the snacks & hot cocoa- hahaha).

Whether you are looking for a ride on a horse-drawn carriage, a visit with Santa, a selfie with a reindeer, orrr you’re just in it for the pre-tree tailgating (I mean, who isn't?)…we’ve got you covered!

To help you pick the perfect farm to visit this year— We’ve rounded up a list of our favorite local spots for Christmas Tree HUNTING in Connecticut, and as always, we included *pro tips* on each location!

We can't wait to hear what you guys think.... 


The 203's Guide To Christmas Tree Farms in Connecticut-- 

Maple Row Farm, Easton CT: If you're looking for an Xmas Tree TAILGATE experience, Maple Row is the place to do it. At Maple Row friends and family groups gather in the parking lot for hot coco, snacks and games before heading to get their trees. Grab some buddies (and some snacks) and make a day out of the experience! Maple row has a mix of pre-cut (and trimmed) trees, as well as cut-your-own Christmas trees. They have a holiday shop with beautiful wreaths, evergreen arrangements and garlands. (Dogs are welcome too!)

We love that they have a fire pit burning all season!
