Our take

Hill’s Christmas Tree Farm runs one of the more unusual schedules in this batch: rather than staying open continuously through the season, it opens on a small number of specific weekends. In 2025 that meant three windows — November 28-30, December 5-7, and December 12-14 — each 10am to 5pm. That structure changes how you should plan a visit here more than almost anything else in the record.

Per-foot pricing, worked out honestly

The farm charges $10 per foot plus tax, a real number pulled directly from its own pricing page. That means the arithmetic is simple and worth doing before you go: a 6-foot tree runs roughly $60 plus tax, a 7-foot tree roughly $70, and so on up the height. This is meaningfully different from the flat-rate farms elsewhere in this batch, where a 10-foot tree costs the same as a 5-foot one. If you want a smaller tree, per-foot pricing like Hill’s can work out cheaper than a flat rate; if you want something tall, it’ll cost more than at a flat-priced farm. Neither approach is better in the abstract — it depends on what size tree you actually want, and now you have the real number to run that math yourself.

The schedule is the catch

This is the detail that matters most for planning: Hill’s does not run a continuous season the way most farms in this directory do. The 2025 dates were three specific weekends, not “every Saturday and Sunday from Thanksgiving to Christmas.” If 2026 follows a similar pattern — and the record can’t confirm that it will, since those dates weren’t published as of this check — showing up on a weekend that isn’t one of the farm’s chosen dates means finding it closed. The fix is straightforward: check hillschristmastreefarm.com or call 716-592-5096 for the current year’s specific weekends before you build any part of your holiday schedule around this farm.

What the visit includes

A sheltered Cut Tree Barn keeps pre-cut trees out of the weather, which is a genuine convenience if you’d rather not walk a field in poor conditions or want a faster in-and-out option. Saws are loaned for cut-your-own trees, and the farm offers free hot chocolate and cookies on its open weekends — a small but real value-add that costs you nothing extra. Potted, live trees are also sold if you’re looking for something you can plant afterward rather than dispose of.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The 2025 season ran three specific weekends only — Nov 28-30, Dec 5-7, and Dec 12-14 — 10am-5pm; 2026 dates were not yet published, so check hillschristmastreefarm.com before planning around a particular weekend.

How long to budget

Not documented directly, but with a sheltered Cut Tree Barn, hot cocoa, and saw loaners on site, this reads as more than a rushed stop — plan for a relaxed hour or two.

Crowds

Not documented directly, but a schedule compressed into only three specific weekends concentrates all of the season's visitors into those few open days, so expect a busier field than at a farm running a full six-week season.

Parking

Not documented in the record; a rural Springville tree-farm setting suggests an unpaved lot rather than a paved one.

What to bring

  • $10 per foot plus tax in mind — the record states this is per-foot pricing, so a taller tree costs proportionally more
  • No saw required, since the farm loans them on site
  • The current year's specific weekend dates confirmed before you go, since the farm does not run a continuous season

How to spend less here

  • Per-foot pricing at $10/ft means a shorter tree costs less here than a flat-rate tree at some other farms in the region, so this can be the better value if you want something compact
  • Free hot chocolate and cookies are offered on the open weekends at no extra charge mentioned

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors who want to compare per-foot pricing against flat-rate farms and know exactly what a taller tree will cost
  • Families who want free hot chocolate and cookies included in the visit
  • Anyone who checks the current year's weekend schedule first, since this farm doesn't run a continuous season

Skip it if

Skip assuming this farm is open on a random Saturday in December — it runs on a fixed three-weekend schedule in a given year, not a continuous season, so confirm the current dates before driving out.

Worth pairing with

Located in Springville, Erie County, in Western New York, near other farms in this directory running longer or daily seasons, worth comparing if your available dates don't line up with Hill's specific open weekends.
