A fifth-generation family farm best known for fall pumpkins and a corn maze that also sells pre-cut Christmas trees, wreaths, and garland — a solid option if you want a real farm origin for your tree without cutting it yourself.
Harvestville Farm is a fifth-generation family operation best known, outside the Christmas season, as a fall destination — 35 acres of pumpkins, squash, and gourds plus a 12-acre corn maze draw visitors in autumn. During the winter, that same farm shifts to selling pre-cut Christmas trees, wreaths, boughs, garland, and mistletoe, which makes it a genuinely different kind of listing than most farms in this research: a real, working, multi-generation farm, but one where the Christmas tree side of the business is retail rather than cut-your-own.
This is a pre-cut-only operation. The farm does not offer cut-your-own or choose-and-cut trees at all. If the appeal of a “tree farm” for you is walking rows and cutting your own tree, Harvestville won’t deliver that experience — but if what you actually want is a tree with legitimate farm origins, sourced from a real fifth-generation operation rather than a shipped-in retail lot, without the physical work of cutting it yourself, this is a solid match.
The farm follows a relative rule — open from the Saturday before Thanksgiving through Dec. 23 — which for 2026 works out to Nov. 21 through Dec. 23. Hours run Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. That’s a fuller weekly schedule than several other farms in this research that limit themselves to weekends, which gives you more flexibility about when to stop by.
The gift shop and scheduled Santa visits give Harvestville a more retail, family-outing feel than a working tree farm where you’re mainly there to cut and haul your own tree. Wreaths, boughs, garlands, and mistletoe round out what’s available if you want your whole holiday greenery haul from one stop rather than separate errands.
No pricing was found anywhere in the sources reviewed for the Christmas tree side of the business, so this record can’t offer a dollar figure, even a rough one — budget flexibly and ask when you arrive. Tree species also weren’t specified in any source reviewed, so if you have a preference for a particular fir or pine, ask directly what’s in stock rather than assuming.
Harvestville makes sense as a pre-cut option with genuine farm credibility behind it, particularly if you already know and like the farm from its fall pumpkin season. It’s not the right choice if a cut-your-own experience is what you’re after — for that, look to one of the choose-and-cut farms elsewhere in this directory.

A quick stop for the tree itself, longer if you browse the gift shop or visit during a Santa appearance.
Not documented in the record, but a farm known for a 35-acre fall pumpkin operation and a 12-acre corn maze likely has established local name recognition, which could carry over into steady Christmas-season traffic.
