A convenient halfway stop between the Twin Cities and Duluth with genuinely full-service loading help, but the only pricing data point found is a past-season figure, and no species or 2026 season dates are documented.
A 9-foot tree was reported at $116 in a past season; current pricing is not confirmed.
Happy Land’s clearest documented advantage is convenience rather than any particular tree or price: sitting in Pine County roughly halfway between the Twin Cities and Duluth along I-35, it’s a reasonable stop if you’re already making that drive in either direction and don’t want to detour far off the highway.
A 9-foot tree was reported at $116 in a past season - a genuinely specific number, which is more than several other thin records in this batch can offer. But the source explicitly attributed it to a past season rather than confirming it as current, so this isn’t a number to build a firm budget around. Treat it as a useful reference point for the general scale of pricing here, not a quote you can rely on for 2026.
What sets Happy Land apart in this batch is the loading help: free shaking, baling, and loading onto your vehicle are offered regardless of whether you cut the tree yourself or have staff do it for you. That’s a genuinely useful option if you don’t want to wrestle a tree onto a roof rack alone, or if a member of your group isn’t able to do that kind of lifting.
No tree species and no season dates turned up in any source reviewed for this farm. That’s a real gap - this record can tell you the farm exists, roughly what a large tree cost in a past season, and that loading help is available, but it can’t tell you what you’d actually be choosing from or when to go.
Happy Land is worth a call if convenience along the I-35 corridor and hands-off loading matter to you, but confirm current pricing and available species before you make the stop, since neither is reliably documented here.
The $116 figure for a 9-foot tree is the only real dollar amount in this record, and it earns a place here specifically because it’s an actual reported price, not an estimate built from what other farms charge. It’s presented with its limitation attached - a past season, not confirmed as current - rather than smoothed over into a generic “trees start around $100-plus” statement that would imply more certainty than the source actually supports. That distinction matters more than it might seem: a number stripped of its context reads as current information, while the same number with its caveat intact tells you honestly how much weight to put on it before you drive out to Pine County expecting that exact price.

Not documented directly, but full-service shaking, baling, and vehicle loading suggest a visit that doesn't require you to do much of the physical work yourself.

Full-service loading onto the customer's vehicle is documented as included, which is a genuine convenience for anyone who can't easily lift or carry a cut tree themselves.
Skip Happy Land if you need current, confirmed pricing before you go, since the only figure found - $116 for a 9-foot tree - is explicitly from a past season, and skip it if a specific tree species matters, since none is documented.
