Brickle Tree Farm

Our take

Brickle Tree Farm is a small choose-and-cut operation in Phelps, open Saturdays and Sundays, 9am to 4pm. That’s genuinely almost the entire body of confirmed operational detail in this record — no pricing, no named tree species, and no specific season start or end date turned up in the local business directories and Facebook page that make up the available sources.

What “choose-and-cut” means without more detail

The record confirms this is a choose-and-cut operation, meaning visitors typically pick a tree in the field and either cut it themselves or have staff do it, rather than a purely self-serve cut-your-own setup or a lot of already-cut trees. But beyond that basic classification, nothing else is confirmed — not which fir or spruce varieties are grown, not whether saws or sleds are provided, not whether the farm takes cash only or cards too. If any of those specifics matter to your decision to visit, a phone call to 315-548-2510 is the only way to get a real answer, since none of it turned up in the sources checked.

The weekend-only schedule

What is confirmed, and worth building a visit around, is the schedule: Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 4pm, with no weekday access found in any source. If you’re hoping to sneak out on a weekday afternoon, this record gives no indication that’s an option here. Beyond the weekly pattern, no specific 2025 or 2026 season dates were found, so this could be a farm that opens right after Thanksgiving and closes near Christmas, or it could run a shorter window — there’s no way to say from what’s been published.

The honest gap, and what to do about it

This is a case where padding the record with an invented price range, an assumed tree variety, or a guessed season length would actively work against you as a visitor — it would set expectations that have no basis in anything confirmed. The more useful thing this page can do is tell you plainly what’s missing and point you toward closing that gap yourself: call ahead, ask about current pricing and what’s growing in the field this year, and confirm the farm is open the specific weekend you’re planning to visit. If you’d rather have more of that information settled before you leave the house, several other Finger Lakes farms in this directory publish considerably more detail and may be the easier choice for a first-time visit.

General timing worth knowing regardless of which farm you pick

A few things hold generally true for Finger Lakes tree farms in late fall, independent of what’s confirmed about Brickle specifically. Choose-and-cut operations across the region tend to see their best selection of tall, well-shaped trees in the first two or three weekends after Thanksgiving, since the more popular sizes and species get picked over as the season goes on, even at farms that stay open through Christmas. If a specific size or shape matters to you, going early in the season is a safer bet than waiting, at any farm with a limited weekend schedule like this one. It’s also worth remembering that a weekend-only choose-and-cut farm this small likely relies on a family or a handful of staff running the operation, so a call placed during open hours (Saturday or Sunday, 9am-4pm) is more likely to reach someone than one placed on a weekday when no one may be on site to answer.
