A historic 40-acre farm with a weekends-only schedule and kid-friendly treats, but pricing and exact species aren't published, so budget with flexibility.
No pricing found; farm's own site (fairchance.farm) reportedly has a Prices and Sizes page not captured in search results.
Fair Chance Farm operates on a genuinely old property – a mid-1800s, 40-acre farm in Upperco – which gives it a different character from newer tree operations that have sprung up purely as seasonal businesses. That history is one of the few concrete, distinguishing facts in this record, and it’s worth knowing going in that this isn’t a large commercial operation dressed up with historic branding; the age of the property is itself part of what you’re visiting.
This is a weekends-only farm. The schedule, per the record, runs Black Friday plus every Saturday and Sunday following Thanksgiving, with no weekday hours found anywhere in the sources checked. If your holiday schedule only has a Tuesday afternoon free, this isn’t the farm for you this year – at least not based on anything documented here. Because the entire season is compressed into two days a week, expect those Saturdays and Sundays to carry more traffic than they would at a farm spreading visitors across seven days.
Two gaps stand out. First, pricing: nothing in this record states what a tree costs here, and per the honesty standard for this write-up, that means no dollar figure appears anywhere in this page – not even a rough estimate. The farm’s own website reportedly has a dedicated prices page, but it wasn’t visible in the sources gathered for this record, so the honest move is to ask when you arrive or call ahead, not to guess. Second, tree species: the record describes the inventory only as “traditional fir and spruce,” without naming specific cultivars. If you have a strong preference for, say, Fraser fir specifically, this record can’t confirm whether that’s what’s actually growing here.
On-site treats are called out specifically: hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, and marshmallow treats, all clearly aimed at families visiting with kids. That’s a small but real signal about who this farm is built for – less a bare-bones cut-and-go operation, more a farm that wants families to linger a little. Combined with the historic-property angle, it reads as a farm oriented around the experience of the outing as much as the tree itself, even though the record doesn’t spell out additional activities like hayrides or a gift shop the way some larger neighboring farms do.
Given the gaps here, the sensible approach is to treat a Fair Chance visit as a weekend-only outing, bring flexibility on price since none is confirmed, and not assume a specific species will be available if that matters to you. None of that means the farm isn’t worth visiting – a historic 40-acre property with family treats is a reasonable way to spend a Saturday – it just means you should walk in without assumptions about cost or exact inventory that this record can’t back up.
Season is expected to open Black Friday, November 27, 2026, then run Saturdays and Sundays; this is a weekends-only farm, so there's no weekday option.
Not documented, though a weekends-only, treats-focused farm suggests a relaxed few hours rather than a rushed stop.
Not documented in the record, though a weekends-only schedule concentrates all visitors into two days a week, which likely means busier Saturdays and Sundays than a farm with daily hours.
