A family-event farm with Santa visits, crafts, and evening weeknight hours, but pricing is negotiated rather than posted, and 2026 dates need confirming.
No fixed pricing found; secondary sources say they 'work with you' on tree prices.
Gunpowder Tree Farm leans harder into the family-event side of a Christmas tree outing than most other farms in this batch. Santa visits, kids’ crafts, free ornament decorating, and a build-your-own-wreath station are all listed as regular activities here, on top of the standard cut-your-own and pre-cut tree options. If the goal of your visit is as much about the experience as the tree itself, this record points toward a farm built for exactly that.
Most farms in this research are weekend-heavy, with limited or no weekday access. Gunpowder is different: Thursday and Friday hours run from 4pm to 7:30pm, meaning an after-work visit is genuinely possible here, not just a weekend errand. Weekends themselves run 10am to 6pm (Sunday) or 10am to 7:30pm (Saturday), with opening weekend stretching those Friday and Saturday hours even later. That’s a real scheduling advantage if your weekends are already booked with other holiday obligations – though these are 2025-season hours in the record, and 2026 timing should be reconfirmed before you build a weeknight trip around them.
No fixed per-tree price was found anywhere in the sources for this record. What multiple secondary sources do say is that Gunpowder “works with you” on tree pricing – suggesting a conversation with staff rather than a posted price list. That’s worth knowing before you go: if you’re the kind of shopper who wants to see a number before committing, budget some uncertainty into this trip, and don’t assume the final price will match whatever a similarly sized tree costs at a farm down the road with flat, posted pricing.
The farm offers cut-your-own trees in the field, plus a pre-cut selection for anyone who’d rather skip the cutting. No specific tree species were confirmed in the sources checked, which is worth knowing if you have a strong preference – ask when you arrive rather than assuming a particular fir or spruce will be on offer. Beyond trees, the on-site gift shop and the various family activities (crafts, ornament decorating, Santa) round out what reads as a farm designed for a longer, kid-centered visit rather than a quick grab-and-go.
Only 2025 opening-weekend dates (November 28 through December 18) were located for this farm, and they weren’t stated as a rule that automatically repeats each year – so the honest position here is that 2026 dates are unconfirmed. Given the farm’s evening hours and family-activity draw, it’s reasonable to expect a similar late-November-through-mid-December window in 2026, but a phone call or a check of the farm’s own site closer to Thanksgiving is the responsible way to nail down exact dates before you plan an evening or weekend around this specific farm.
Not confirmed for 2026 -- only 2025 dates (Nov 28-Dec 18) were found. Weeknight visits (Thu-Fri afternoons/evenings) are an option here, unlike many farms that are weekend-only.
Not documented, but Santa visits, crafts, ornament decorating, and wreath building suggest budgeting more than a quick tree grab, especially with kids.
Not documented directly, but the mix of Santa visits, crafts, and a gift shop suggests a farm built for family foot traffic, especially on weekends.

Skip if you need a fixed, posted tree price before you go, since pricing here is reportedly worked out with staff on site rather than listed in advance.
Not specified in the record.
No fixed pricing was found. Multiple secondary sources describe the farm as working out the price with each customer rather than posting a price list, so ask directly when you arrive.
Both. The record confirms cut-your-own trees are available, and pre-cut trees are also offered, per the farm's tags.
Yes, Santa visits are listed among the farm's activities, alongside kids' crafts, free ornament decorating, and a build-your-own-wreath option.
Historically: opening weekend Friday 10am-7:30pm, Saturday 10am-7:30pm, Sunday 10am-6pm; afterward, Thursday and Friday 4pm-7:30pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am-6pm. These are 2025-season hours and should be reconfirmed for 2026.
