A working nursery and landscape business in Plainfield that also sells cut-your-own trees by the foot and pre-cut Fraser fir, with clear pricing but no confirmed 2026 season dates.
Cut-your-own priced at $15/foot, which includes shaking and baling. Pre-cut Fraser fir shipped from North Carolina runs $100–$225. Figures per the farm's own website (visitandersontreefarm.com).
Anderson Tree Farm in Plainfield is less a seasonal Christmas destination and more a year-round nursery and landscape supply business that adds a cut-your-own tree lot and a pre-cut Fraser fir option each winter. The farm also sells hardwoods, firewood, and fresh eggs outside the holiday season, according to its own site — a detail worth knowing if you’re expecting a farm built purely around Christmas atmosphere rather than a working nursery operation.
This is one of the more transparent records in this batch on cost. Cut-your-own trees are priced at $15 per foot, and that rate includes shaking and baling — two services some farms charge extra for. Using only that published number, a 6-foot tree comes to $90 and an 8-foot tree comes to $120, before any other add-ons; scale that arithmetic to whatever height you’re after. If you’d rather skip the field entirely, the farm also sells pre-cut Fraser fir shipped in from North Carolina, priced in a $100-$225 range depending on size. That’s a meaningfully different product from the field-grown trees — a Fraser fir has a strong reputation for good needle retention generally, which is one reason it’s a popular shipped species even for farms that don’t grow it locally.
Beyond the shipped Fraser fir, the cut-your-own field carries Douglas fir, Colorado spruce, white pine, balsam fir, and Norway spruce, per the farm’s own site. That’s a reasonably wide lineup for a per-foot pricing model, and it means the choice isn’t just about size but about needle type, shape, and scent, which vary meaningfully across those species.
No 2025 or 2026 season dates or operating hours were found anywhere checked, which is a real gap for a farm you’d otherwise plan around. Nothing in the record addresses whether saws are provided or need to be brought, or what payment methods are accepted. None of this should be assumed — a quick call to the farm before driving out is the only way to close these gaps honestly.
Anderson’s stands out in this batch for having genuinely clear, specific pricing on both its cut-your-own and pre-cut options, which is more than many neighboring farms publish. What it lacks is any confirmed timing — so the money question is answered, but the when question is not, and that’s the one to resolve with a phone call before you make the trip.
Not stated in the record. No 2026 season dates or hours have been published, so timing has to be confirmed by phone.
Not stated. As a year-round nursery and landscape business rather than a single-purpose seasonal tree farm, the visit may feel less festival-like than farms built specifically around the holiday.

Skip Anderson's if you're looking for a dedicated, festively-decorated tree-farm outing rather than a working nursery that happens to sell trees, and skip it if you need confirmed hours or a specific opening weekend, since neither is published.
