A choose-and-cut farm where staff do the actual cutting, shaking, and netting for you, but it closes for a few days during Pennsylvania's firearms deer season — a date that shifts every year.
2025 season pricing was expected to be $16-17 per foot for choose-and-cut trees. Not confirmed for 2026.
Bowser’s occupies a useful middle ground between full cut-your-own and a pure pre-cut lot: you walk the field and pick the specific tree you want, then staff cut, shake, drill, and net it for you and carry it to your car. That means no saw handling, no hauling a heavy tree across a muddy field yourself, and no guessing whether you’re cutting it cleanly — while you still get the experience of choosing your own tree in the field rather than pointing at something already bundled on a lot.
2025 season pricing was expected to land at $16-17 per foot for choose-and-cut Douglas fir and blue spruce. Doing the honest math with those real numbers: a 6-foot tree would run somewhere around $96 to $102, and a 7-foot tree around $112 to $119, before any tax. That’s a per-foot rate, not a flat price, so a taller tree costs proportionally more here, unlike farms that charge one flat rate regardless of height. Pre-cut Fraser fir and concolor fir are also available for a faster purchase, priced separately from the field trees.
The most distinctive fact in this record is that the farm closes for a few days during Pennsylvania’s firearms deer season. In 2025, that meant December 1-3. Because Pennsylvania’s rifle deer season dates shift from year to year (they’re generally tied to the Monday after Thanksgiving, but the exact days move), you can’t just circle December 1-3 on a 2026 calendar and assume it applies — you need to check the current year’s dates or call the farm directly. Showing up expecting a normal business day during that window, only to find the farm closed, would be an easy and avoidable mistake.
Bowser’s reportedly accepts cash, check, or card, which is more flexible than several other farms in this region that are cash-only. If you’re stacking multiple farm visits in one day and want to keep cash reserved for a cash-only stop elsewhere, this is one place where you shouldn’t need to worry about it.
No official farm website was identified during this research, which is itself worth noting — the information here comes from a regional cut-your-own roundup and directory listings rather than the farm’s own current-season page. That’s a slightly weaker source base than farms where the operator’s own site was read directly, so treat the $16-17 figure as a solid estimate rather than a guaranteed 2026 rate.
Any regular open day, but double-check the calendar around early December, since the farm closes for PA's firearms deer season (closed December 1-3 in 2025, though that date moves annually).
About 30-45 minutes, since staff handle the cutting, shaking, drilling, and netting for you rather than you doing it yourself.
Not documented in the record.
Skip visiting during Pennsylvania's firearms deer season without checking first, since the farm closed for several days around that time in 2025, and PA's rifle season dates shift every year.
