Cooks' Woods

📍 2176 Ebenezer Rd, Fennimore, WI 53809🗓 November 22 – December 23, 2026🏷 Pricing TBD

Open daily for a full month, including Thanksgiving itself, with hundreds of handmade wreaths and the flexibility to cut your own or have staff cut for you -- one of the more generously scheduled farms in this research, at least for the 2025 season it's based on.

Our take

Cooks’ Woods sits in the rolling hills of Grant County, in Wisconsin’s southwest corner, reached via a specific rural route – Highway 18 east of Fennimore, then Annaton Road and Ebenezer Road. That’s a genuinely scenic setting compared to some of the flatter working fields elsewhere in this research, though it also means the drive itself is part of the experience, not just a means to an end.

Flexible cutting, six species

Like a handful of other farms in this batch, Cooks’ Woods offers a real choice in how you get your tree: walk the woods and cut it yourself, or point out a tree and have staff cut it for you. Six species are available – Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir, Canaan Fir, Concolor Fir, White Pine, and Scotch Pine – a wider selection than many smaller operations nearby. Pre-cut trees round out the options for anyone who’d rather skip the field entirely.

An unusually generous daily schedule

For the 2025 season, Cooks’ Woods was open daily, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., for a full month from Nov. 22 through Dec. 23 – including Thanksgiving Day itself. That’s notably more generous than most farms in this research, the majority of which restrict themselves to weekends only. If your schedule is unpredictable or you can only get away on a random weekday, this is one of the more accommodating farms in the batch for that. That said, these dates are explicitly stated for 2025 in the source we checked, and we’re not assuming they’ll land on the exact same calendar days in 2026 – the general daily, full-month pattern is likely to hold, but confirm the specific opening and closing dates before you go.

Handmade wreaths, a real production

Hundreds of wreaths and garland are handmade on-site starting in early November, according to the research notes – a level of scale that suggests this is a genuine seasonal operation for the farm’s wreath-making, not a side afterthought. If wreaths or garland are part of what you’re shopping for, this is worth factoring in.

Money and contact: an honest gap

No phone number and no pricing were found anywhere for this farm. Your best bet for current information is the farm’s own site, cookswoods.biz, which does maintain a dedicated Christmas trees page – check there for both this year’s dates and any pricing before you drive out, since we’re not going to estimate a figure ourselves.

What we don’t know

Hours-adjacent details like parking, accessibility, saw provision, and cash-or-card policy are all unconfirmed. The coordinates on file are a Fennimore village-center estimate rather than the farm’s actual rural location.

If a full month of daily access, flexible cutting, and a scenic drive appeal to you, this is a strong pick in the Fennimore area – just verify this year’s exact dates against the farm’s site rather than assuming last year’s calendar repeats precisely.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Any day during the season, since the farm is open daily -- based on the 2025 schedule (Nov. 22-Dec. 23), 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., though 2026 dates weren't confirmed.

How long to budget

45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on whether you walk the woods to cut your own or have staff cut a tree you point out

Crowds

Not specified directly, but a full month of daily hours, including Thanksgiving, spreads visitors across more open days than the weekends-only farms in this research, which may mean less concentrated crowding on any single day.

Parking

Not specified in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not specified. The farm's setting in the rolling hills of Grant County suggests genuine terrain variation across the property -- worth keeping in mind if mobility is a concern.

What to bring

  • Nothing specific is confirmed as required, but dress for a walk through wooded, hilly terrain if you're cutting your own
  • A way to confirm current-year season dates and pricing, since neither is confirmed for 2026

How to spend less here

  • No pricing was found for this farm in any source checked -- there's no phone number on record either, so check cookswoods.biz directly before assuming a cost
  • Free hot chocolate and coffee are offered on weekends specifically, so a weekend visit gets you that extra amenity that weekdays may not

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors who want daily flexibility rather than a weekends-only farm
  • People who'd like the option to either cut their own tree or have staff do it
  • Anyone interested in handmade wreaths and garland, since hundreds are made on-site starting in early November

Skip it if

Skip this one if you need confirmed 2026 dates locked in well ahead of time, since the season dates on record are explicitly 2025 figures not guaranteed to repeat exactly.
