When you think of Christmas, what do you see? Family visits, decorating your tree, making cookies, wrapping gifts, snuggling up with your favorite movie and hot chocolate, driving through Christmas lights? That is what we think about! At Country Pines, you can start the Christmas season by bringing the nostalgia back from your childhood or starting a new tradition with your family!
At Country Pines you arrive at the red barn, we provide a hand saw and you get to search the field of beautiful scotch pines trees to find the perfect tree for your home! All of our trees range in heights from 4 feet all the way up to 11 feet tall. We suggest that you measure your space and bring a tape measure to ensure you have found the perfect fit! Is anyone else envisioning the scene from National Lampoon Christmas Vacation movie where the tree is much bigger inside the house than it looked outside? Although that is a great classic scene, you don't want that to be you!
After you find the perfect tree, cut it and bring your tree to the tree barn. We have "tree wrangling elves" at the barn to shake the tree, wrap it and assist in loading if needed. Several families bring a blanket or something to put on the car roof under the tree to prevent roof scratches. Just something to keep in mind when planning your visit!
Once you are all set with your tree, grab your ticket from the barn staff for your tree and shop in our 1600+ sq. ft. heated barn filled with indoor and outdoor Christmas decorations, table arrangements, large Christmas tree ornaments, beautifully decorated trees, homemade cookies, one of a kind hand created festive wreaths, fresh live wreaths, and pine roping, tree stands and Christmas tree skirts, tree toppers, mantle decorations, and much more. We also have complimentary hot spiced cinnamon apple cider and our Country Pines blend rich hot chocolate (a favorite of all)!
For the best Christmas tree selection, come early in the season! Our Christmas tree shop & lot will be open from 9 am – 5 pm on the weekends starting November 19. If you are interested in stopping by at a time not listed, feel free to contact us to make an appointment.
**What is available to do in the area? Cedar Lake Cellars is only a few miles from us, along with other attractions like Big Joel's Safari and local shops and restaurants. This is a great opportunity to create a day of family fun.
