Long's is primarily a wholesale grower with a retail choose-and-cut side, and a $5 discount coupon on the website is the only real number available, so call ahead to confirm the actual price and hours.
Site offers a $5 discount coupon toward a tree at the choose-and-cut location; no base price listed.
Long’s Christmas Tree Farm is worth understanding for what it primarily is: a large wholesale grower, capable of supplying tractor-trailer loads of trees, that also operates a smaller retail choose-and-cut location on the side. That’s a meaningfully different setup from a farm built from the ground up as a family retail destination, and it likely shapes what a visit here looks and feels like. Don’t expect a hayride, Christmas shop, or Santa visit; none is mentioned, and the retail side reads as a straightforward tree-buying stop rather than an outing.
The published schedule is Thanksgiving Day and every weekend through Christmas, 9am until dusk, which gives you a workable window even though exact 2026 dates weren’t independently confirmed beyond that general pattern.
Most farms in this batch have no price information at all, which means this write-up can’t mention a dollar figure anywhere. Long’s is a partial exception: the farm’s website advertises a $5 discount coupon toward a tree at the choose-and-cut location. That’s a real, stated number, so it’s fair to mention, but it’s also incomplete information on its own, a $5 discount off an unknown base price doesn’t tell you what you’ll actually pay. Treat the coupon as a genuine small saving worth bringing, not as a substitute for knowing the actual price, which you’ll need to confirm by phone.
No tree species are listed in the record, which is unusual for a retail choose-and-cut operation, most farms in this area are upfront about growing Fraser fir specifically. That gap, combined with Long’s wholesale focus, is worth asking about directly: what species are available at the retail lot, and in what sizes, before you make the trip expecting a specific kind of tree.
Long’s also sells nursery stock, wreaths, and garland, which rounds out the farm as more of a general grower’s outlet than a single-purpose tree lot. If you’re in the market for landscaping plants in addition to holiday greenery, that’s a genuine reason to consider a stop here beyond the tree itself. Given the wholesale emphasis and thinner retail details, a phone call to confirm current hours, species, and pricing before visiting is the most useful step you can take here.
A farm built primarily around large-volume wholesale orders may not have the same retail-facing infrastructure, staffed hours, or inventory visibility as a farm designed from the start for individual family visitors. That’s not a criticism, it’s simply a different business model, but it’s worth setting expectations accordingly: you may find a more working-farm atmosphere than a polished retail experience, and staff availability during the advertised hours is worth confirming rather than assuming.
The farm’s schedule of Thanksgiving Day and every weekend through Christmas gives you several chances to visit across the season rather than a single narrow window. Since exact 2026 dates weren’t independently confirmed, use that general pattern, holiday plus weekends, as your planning framework, and confirm the specific weekend you intend to visit by phone if you’re traveling any distance for it.
