Staff cut your tree by default here -- you can only cut it yourself if you bring your own saw -- with trees pre-tagged $60-$120 and free shaking, blowing, and baling included, but confirm the appointment-only visiting pattern before you go.
$60-$120 per tree, tagged in the field (2025 pricing per farm's own site); cash, Venmo, and Apple Pay accepted.
Ashland Farm’s own website is unusually explicit about how the cutting process actually works here, and it’s worth reading carefully because it runs opposite to the typical cut-your-own setup found at most other farms in this research. By default, staff cut your tree for you. If you want to do the cutting yourself, you’re welcome to – but you need to bring your own saw, since the farm doesn’t supply one. That’s the reverse of farms that hand you a saw on arrival and expect you to do the cutting; here, staff-cut is the baseline and self-cut is the exception that requires you to come prepared.
Every tree is pre-tagged in the field at a price between $60 and $120, per the farm’s own site, describing 2025 pricing. That’s a genuinely useful structure: you know the range going in, and each specific tree carries its own visible number rather than requiring a negotiation or a staff assessment on the spot. Within that $60-$120 spread, you have real room to choose based on budget as well as size and shape – a $60 tree and a $120 tree are both available on the same lot, not a single fixed price regardless of what you pick.
Free shaking, free blowing, and free baling (for trees under 4 feet in diameter) are all part of the deal, per the farm’s own site, along with loading assistance. That’s a meaningful set of included services – shaking and blowing clear out loose needles and debris, baling makes transport easier, and having help loading the tree removes one more physical step from the visit.
Balsam fir makes up most of the inventory, with Canaan fir, concolor fir, Norway spruce, and a limited amount of Douglas fir also available. If Balsam fir specifically is what you want, this farm should have solid selection; the other species are described as more limited, so ask about availability if one of those is your preference.
Some listings describe Ashland as call-or-text or appointment-based rather than a pure walk-in operation, which isn’t fully confirmed either way in this record. At the time this record was researched, the farm’s site displayed “Sold Out for the season” messaging – reflecting the fact that this was checked outside the active selling window, not a signal that the farm has closed permanently. Still, given the appointment ambiguity, a quick call or text before driving out is a sensible precaution, especially since the season is framed as running until sold out rather than to a fixed calendar date.
Expected to run Black Friday (November 27, 2026) through around Christmas Eve or until sold out, per the farm's own site and secondary sources; 10am-5pm, Friday-Sunday.
Not documented directly, but with staff typically doing the cutting and free shaking, blowing, and baling included, the process itself should move fairly quickly once you've picked a tree.

Free loading assistance is offered, per the record, which should ease getting a cut tree into your vehicle.
Skip if you specifically want to cut your own tree without bringing a saw, since the farm doesn't supply one -- you can cut it yourself only if you bring your own; otherwise staff cut it for you.
