A flat $150-per-tree farm with real weekend amenities - hayride, bonfire, live music - but it's only open specific Friday-through-Sunday windows, and those exact 2026 dates haven't been confirmed yet.
Flat $150 per tree regardless of size or species (figure found via site search summary; the exact season year for this price was not clearly labeled).
Hansen stands out in this batch for one simple reason: it charges a flat $150 per tree no matter what you pick. That’s unusual in a state where most farms price per foot or per species, and it changes the math of a visit in a real way - if you want a big tree, this is likely one of the better deals around; if you only want a small tabletop tree, you’re paying full freight for size you’re not using.
Unlike farms that run daily through the season, Hansen operates on specific Friday-through-Sunday windows rather than a continuous stretch. A search of the farm’s site turned up date ranges spanning late November into mid-December, but the summarized text didn’t clearly state which calendar year those dates belonged to, so this record can’t hand you a confirmed 2026 schedule. Before you build a Saturday around a Hansen visit, check the farm’s current site or call to confirm the open weekends are actually the ones you’re planning for - showing up on a closed weekend at a farm with no daily hours is the kind of mistake that’s easy to avoid with one phone call.
This isn’t a bare-bones cut-and-leave operation. The record lists a hayride, a hot cocoa stand, live music, and a bonfire as regular features, plus tree netting and baling so you’re not wrestling a loose tree onto your roof rack. Saws are provided, so you don’t need to bring your own. Leashed dogs are explicitly welcome, which is worth noting since several other farms in this list don’t mention a pet policy at all - if you’ve been leaving the dog home for other farm trips, this is one where you don’t have to.
At $150 regardless of size or species, the value proposition flips depending on what you want. A small or mid-size tree here costs the same as it would cost you to get a considerably larger tree at a per-foot farm charging $12-16 a foot - so if you have the space and want to go big, Hansen’s pricing rewards that. If you wanted something modest and inexpensive, this isn’t the cheapest option in the area; you’re paying the same $150 whether you cut a 6-footer or a 10-footer.
Hansen is confirmed not cash-only - you can pay online or at an outdoor cashier station, which removes one common friction point at smaller farms. What’s not in the record: parking conditions, accessibility for visitors with mobility limitations, and any species-specific detail beyond the list of trees offered (white and Norway pine, blue and Meyer spruce, balsam, Fraser, and Canaan fir). If a particular species matters to you, calling ahead to confirm availability on your chosen weekend is a reasonable step given the limited open days.
Hansen makes sense if a big tree, a weekend outing with live music and a bonfire, and a flat price you can count on appeal to you more than daily flexibility or the cheapest possible small tree. The one real planning risk is the schedule itself - confirm the actual open weekends before you go.
Whichever open weekend works for your schedule, since Hansen doesn't run daily - the farm's site listed date ranges in late November and early-to-mid December, but the summarized text didn't clearly label the year, so confirm the current weekend schedule before you go.
Budget more than a quick cut-and-go: with a hayride, bonfire, and live music as regular features, plan at least 1.5-2 hours if you want to take in more than just the tree.
Not documented directly, but a farm open only on specific weekends with live music and a bonfire as draws should be expected to see its heaviest traffic on those open Saturdays.

Skip Hansen if you need a weekday visit or a small, inexpensive tree, since the farm is only open specific Friday-Sunday windows and the flat $150 price applies regardless of size or species.
