Bakers Lane Christmas Trees, in Chestertown on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, is worth flagging for something the farm says about itself, directly on its own website: choose-and-cut tree selection is limited this year, with the business increasingly focused on handmade wreaths, fresh-cut white pine boughs, and pine garland rather than a full cut-your-own field.
That’s not a research gap or an assumption – it’s the farm’s own stated framing of where its current business actually sits. If your plan is specifically to walk a field and cut your own tree, that plan may not pan out here this year the way it would at a farm with no such caveat. This doesn’t mean the farm has no trees at all; the record lists a real species lineup – white pine, Norway spruce, Colorado blue spruce, Douglas fir, and Scotch pine – but the farm’s own honesty about limited availability should shape your expectations more than the species list alone would suggest.
Handmade wreaths, fresh-cut white pine boughs, pine garland, and custom wreath orders are called out specifically, and the framing suggests these are now the core of the business rather than an add-on to tree sales. If a beautiful wreath or fresh greenery for your mantel is what you’re after, this farm may be a stronger fit for that than for a tree-cutting outing specifically.
Leashed pets are welcome here, according to the record – a detail that doesn’t come up at other farms in this research. If bringing your dog along is part of what makes a farm outing enjoyable for your family, that’s a real point in this farm’s favor, however small.
The farm accepts cards, cash, and checks, giving you more payment flexibility than some cash-only operations elsewhere in this batch. The season is framed around Black Friday as an anchor point, with 2025 running Saturdays and Sundays through December 21 (plus some hour variations, including a shorter 1pm-5pm day on one December Saturday in 2025). Since the farm frames its opening around the relative “Black Friday” marker, the 2026 opening is reasonably expected to fall on November 27, but the exact December closing date isn’t confirmed to repeat from 2025.
Call ahead if a choose-and-cut tree specifically is the point of your visit. The farm has told you itself that this year’s tree selection is limited – that’s about as direct a signal as you’ll get in this kind of research, and it deserves to be taken at face value rather than downplayed.
Season is expected to start Black Friday (November 27, 2026), running Saturdays and Sundays. The 2025 season ran through December 21, per the farm's own site, though that specific end date isn't confirmed to repeat in 2026.
