One of the widest species selections in this region -- seven types up to 20 feet tall -- available pre-cut or ready-to-cut in the field, at a red-barn entrance easy to miss if you don't know to watch for it.
Cassens Trees, just outside West Lafayette in Tippecanoe County, offers one of the broadest species lineups found anywhere in this research: seven types, Canaan Fir, Fraser Fir, Douglas Fir, Concolor Fir, Scotch Pine, White Pine, and White Fir, reportedly growing to 20 feet. For anyone who wants real choice rather than picking between two or three options, that variety alone makes this farm worth a closer look.
Trees here are available either pre-cut or “ready to cut” in the field, meaning you’re not locked into one approach. That flexibility matters if your group includes people who want the full field-walking experience and others who’d rather grab something already cut and go. Beyond the trees themselves, the farm also sells wreaths, swags, and grave pillows, rounding out the visit for anyone doing broader holiday greenery shopping.
One detail worth calling out specifically: the farm’s entrance is marked by a red barn at the intersection of Morehouse Road, Taft Road, and County Road 500 North. Rural three-way intersections like this are genuinely easy to drive past if you’re following a GPS pin without knowing to watch for a specific landmark. This isn’t a knock on the farm, it’s just useful, practical information for anyone unfamiliar with the area: know to look for the red barn, not just an address number on a mailbox.
A recurring pattern has been described for Cassens: opening the day after Thanksgiving and running through December 23. If that pattern holds for 2026, it points to roughly November 27 through December 23. It’s important to be precise about what this is and isn’t: it’s a description of how the farm has typically operated, not a confirmation from Cassens itself that these are the exact 2026 dates. The farm’s own website, when checked for this research, noted the 2025 season had closed but didn’t post a 2026 date on that page. Treat the November 27-December 23 window as a reasonable planning estimate, and confirm it by phone (765-412-6843) if your visit depends on precise timing.
Hours, tree pricing, and whether a saw is provided for field cutting weren’t found in the sources checked. Given the width of the species selection and the size range up to 20 feet, pricing likely varies meaningfully by species and height, which makes a quick call before visiting more valuable here than at a farm with a narrower, more uniform selection.
If species variety and tree height options matter to your search, Cassens is one of the stronger candidates in this batch on paper. Just build in the red-barn landmark for navigation, and confirm the season dates and pricing directly rather than assuming last year’s pattern repeats exactly.
A recurring day-after-Thanksgiving-through-December-23 pattern has been reported for this farm, which would put the 2026 window at roughly November 27-December 23, but this was not confirmed by the farm itself for the 2026 season specifically.
An hour or more if you're comparing among seven species; less if you already know which tree you want and head for the pre-cut selection.

No, trees are available either pre-cut or ready-to-cut in the field, so you can choose either approach.
Not confirmed directly by the farm. A recurring pattern of opening the day after Thanksgiving and running through December 23 has been reported, which would put 2026 at roughly November 27-December 23, but this wasn't confirmed as a season-specific date for 2026.
Look for the red barn on County Road 500 North, at the intersection of Morehouse Road, Taft Road, and CR 500N. It's a rural intersection worth watching for directly rather than relying on general directions to the address.
