Our take

Cypher’s reads as a straightforward, no-frills cut-your-own operation: five tree options (a general “fir” listing plus named Fraser, Douglas, and Concolor fir and blue spruce), a gift shop selling candies and ornaments, wreaths and garland, and a tree baler on site to net your tree for the ride home. There’s nothing here suggesting wagon rides, Santa visits, or other add-on activities — this looks like a farm built for people who want a tree and maybe a small gift, not a half-day outing.

The pricing situation

The one number in the record — about $13 per foot — comes from a single customer review dated November 2023. That’s several seasons old, and per-foot rates for cut-your-own Christmas trees have generally climbed since then across the region, so treat that figure as a rough historical data point, not something to budget against for 2026. Do the honest math here: a $13-per-foot rate on a 7-foot tree would have worked out to roughly $91 in 2023, but there’s no way to responsibly project that forward without a current number from the farm itself. Call and ask before you go, especially if your budget is tight.

What you’re actually choosing between

The species list is solid but conventional — Fraser, Douglas, and Concolor fir plus blue spruce are among the most commonly grown Christmas tree types in Pennsylvania, so this isn’t a farm to visit specifically chasing a rare variety. Fraser fir in particular is worth knowing about if needle retention matters to you: it’s a broadly recognized fact among growers and buyers that Fraser fir tends to hold its needles longer than many other species through a multi-week indoor display, which is useful general knowledge regardless of which specific farm you buy from.

The gaps that matter most

No hours and no season dates were found in the sources reviewed for this record, and a direct attempt to reach the farm’s own website returned a connection error rather than a working page. That’s a real gap, not a minor one — you genuinely don’t know when this farm is open. Third-party directories (Yellow Pages, Yelp, a Christmas tree farm listing site) filled in what they could, but none of them are the farm’s own authoritative word on this year’s schedule.

The practical takeaway

Given the connection error on the farm’s own site, a phone call is your best bet here, not a repeat visit to their website hoping it comes back online. Confirm hours, confirm current pricing, and ask directly whether the baler service is included with a tree purchase or charged separately, since the record doesn’t specify either way.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Not documented — no hours were found, so plan to call first; if you want the best selection, go earlier in the season rather than mid-December.

How long to budget

About 45 minutes to an hour to cut a tree and browse the gift shop.

Crowds

Not documented in the record.

What to bring

  • Cash as a safe default, since accepted payment methods aren't confirmed in the record
  • Your own rope or straps for tying the tree down, unless you confirm the baler service covers that
  • A specific species in mind, since the lineup (Fir, Fraser, Douglas, Concolor, blue spruce) is fairly standard rather than unusual

How to spend less here

  • A tree baler is on site, which can save you from buying a separate netting bag elsewhere — confirm whether it's included with purchase or a small add-on when you call.

Who it suits

Good for

  • visitors who want a fresh-cut or cut-your-own tree without a lot of extra activities
  • shoppers interested in a small gift shop of candies and ornaments
  • anyone who wants their tree run through a baler on site for the drive home

Skip it if

Skip if you need confirmed 2026 pricing or hours before committing, since the only price on record is a single customer's estimate from a 2023 review and no current hours were found.
