Evergreen Acres Tree Farm & Nursery (Colchester, CT)

Evergreen Acres Tree Farm, Colchester

Evergreen Acres has been family owned and operated since the 50’s. Like others, they offer an array of handmade wreaths and cut-your-owns, including blue spruce and fraser fir varieties. However, unlike most, they own a nursery of flowering tree shrubs and allow tree-tagging. http://evergreenacresct.com/index.html

Geers Tree Farm (Griswold, CT)

Another fan-favorite option is Geers Tree Farm, found on Norman Road, which is nuzzled in the quiet town of Griswold. What’s special about this particular farm though is that it’s well-known for its trifecta of services: sand and gravel, wedding parties, and Christmas trees. You can get a glimpse at its fantastic overlook of over 100 acres while you browse and choose between fraser firs, douglas firs, concolor firs, white pine and spruces, and blue spruces. You also just might want to visit on a weekend, as they have food trucks pop up to help make the occasion more festive and fun for all. https://www.geersfamilytree.com/

Hickory Ridge Tree Farm (Coventry, CT)

If historical value is important to you, then Hickory Ridge is the place to find your tree.

Not only does the farm hold significance in this way, but proudly is accredited with the following organizations: the Connecticut Christmas Tree Growers Association, the National Christmas Tree Association, and the Connecticut Farm Bureau.
