A small, no-frills choose-and-cut farm near Moore's Lake with unusual weekday evening hours, useful if a weekend trip doesn't fit your schedule, but no pricing or amenities beyond the tree itself are documented.
Dyer’s Tree Farm, tucked near Moore’s Lake in Dover, is one of the more stripped-down entries in this Delaware batch — and that’s not necessarily a criticism. Some visitors want a hayride and a gift shop; others just want to get a tree and go, and the record here supports that second kind of trip more clearly than the first.
What sets Dyer’s apart from most farms in this guide is a limited weekday evening window: Wednesdays and Fridays, 3-5pm, in addition to more typical weekend hours (Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 1-5pm). If your weekends are already booked solid in late November and December, a two-hour Wednesday or Friday evening stop is a genuinely useful option that most other farms in this area don’t offer. It’s a narrow window, though, so plan your arrival with the closing time in mind rather than assuming you can linger.
Staff cuts the tree here rather than customers doing it themselves — this is listed as choose-and-cut, not cut-your-own — and advance tagging is available if you want to walk the fields before the main cutting weekends begin and reserve a specific tree. Tree selection covers Douglas fir, white pine, and Norway spruce, a solid if unremarkable Delaware lineup.
No pricing information turned up anywhere for this farm — not from the farm’s own presence (a Facebook page, since no independent website was found) and not from any third-party source. That’s a real gap if cost matters to your decision, and the honest move is to call ahead (302-734-2111) rather than guess. Similarly, no hayride, gift shop, hot cocoa stand, or other amenities showed up in available sources, which reinforces the picture of a straightforward, tree-only operation rather than a destination outing.
Season dates are estimated rather than confirmed: Nov 28, 2026 is derived from the farm’s pattern of opening “the Saturday after Thanksgiving,” using the actual 2026 Thanksgiving date, not from a posted 2026 schedule. That’s a reasonable estimate, but it’s still an estimate, and a call before a long drive is the safer move, especially since cash-only status also isn’t documented one way or the other.
If you do have the weekend free, the Saturday window (10am-5pm) gives you the most flexibility and the best chance of finding staff around if you have questions about tagging or tree condition. The Wednesday and Friday evening slots are worth it mainly if you genuinely can’t make a weekend work, since a two-hour window near a lake in late fall means less daylight and a colder walk through the fields than a midday Saturday visit. Either way, this isn’t a farm to treat as a fallback for a spontaneous last-minute run — with such a compact schedule and no documented pricing, a quick call ahead does more good here than at a bigger, better-documented operation.
The season is expected to start Nov 28, 2026, based on the farm's 'opens the Saturday after Thanksgiving' pattern rather than a confirmed 2026 posting. Saturdays (10am-5pm) offer the widest window; Wednesdays and Fridays (3-5pm) are a narrower weekday alternative.
Not documented, but with a single listed activity (advance tagging) and no gift shop, hayride, or refreshment stand mentioned, this reads as a quick, tree-only visit rather than a family outing.
Not documented, but the narrow weekday windows (3-5pm on Wednesdays and Fridays) are likely lighter than the Saturday 10am-5pm slot, simply because they offer less time and fall on workdays.
Not documented in the record.

Skip Dyer's if you're hoping for the fuller farm experience — a gift shop, hot cocoa, a hayride — since no such amenities are documented here; this appears to be a tree-only operation.
Schreppler's Fir Tree Acres in Magnolia and Spence's Tree Farm in Frederica are both in Kent County and offer more documented amenities if Dyer's minimal, tree-only setup isn't quite what you're after.
Not documented. No pricing was found from any source for this farm; call ahead if budget is a factor.
Wednesdays and Fridays 3-5pm, Saturdays 10am-5pm, and Sundays 1-5pm, based on available listings.
