Lee's Trees

Our take

Lee’s Trees sits about 13 miles east of Hayward off Highway 77, on roughly 80 acres carrying an estimated 20,000 trees. That’s a genuinely large working farm, and it shows in the species list: alongside the Balsam and Fraser fir most Wisconsin farms carry, Lee’s also grows Cedar, White Pine, Noble Fir, and Silver Tip – the last two show up far less often across the farms in this research than the standard firs. If you have a specific species in mind that other local farms don’t stock, this is worth the extra miles.

Hours are the catch

The schedule is tighter than most: Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., plus the Friday after Thanksgiving. There’s no weekday access published anywhere. If your only free time is a weekday evening, this isn’t your farm. Build your visit around one of those open weekends, and keep in mind that with only three open days a week for the entire season, the opening weekend – Nov. 27-29, 2026 – is where the crowd is most likely to concentrate simply because there’s less calendar to spread across.

No season-end date has been published, which is normal this early in the year; most Wisconsin farms don’t lock in a closing date until closer to the season itself. Assume the farm runs into December and call to confirm the tail end if you’re planning a visit after the first couple of weekends.

What you’ll actually spend

There’s no price on record here – not a starting figure, not a per-foot rate, nothing. Under the honesty standard we hold ourselves to, that means we won’t guess a number for you, and you shouldn’t assume one either. Call 715-462-4264 before making the drive and ask what a tree runs this season. It’s five minutes that could save you a wasted trip if the number doesn’t fit your budget.

The farm does offer tree shaking, baling, and even delivery – useful if you’d rather not wrestle a tree onto a roof rack yourself – though no price was published for delivery either. Ask about both when you call.

Cut-your-own, saw included

This is a cut-your-own farm and Lee’s provides saws, so you don’t need to bring your own blade. You do need to dress for a genuine field walk across 80 acres of working farmland – boots, layers, and gloves beat sneakers on a late-November Wisconsin morning, especially if snow is already on the ground.

What we don’t know

Beyond the missing price, we can’t confirm parking surface, cash-only status, or full accessibility details – the research notes mention a restroom on site, but little else was published. Ask about payment method when you call, since neither cash-only nor card acceptance is confirmed either way.

One more practical note: the coordinates on file for this listing are a Hayward city-center approximation, not the farm’s actual rural address. Plug the street address (10840 W Twin Lake Rd) directly into your GPS rather than trusting a map pin labeled simply “Hayward,” or you’ll end up in town instead of on Twin Lake Road.

If a genuinely large farm with an unusually wide species lineup outweighs a weekends-only schedule and an unpublished price, this is a solid choice for the Hayward area. If you need cost certainty or a weekday option, check elsewhere first.
