A large, nine-variety cut-your-own farm with a clear weekday discount and a needle-drop guarantee, though the posted price may still reflect last season.
Weekend/Black Friday price about $136 including tax; roughly $14 off on weekdays. $20 parking fee on weekends applies only if no tree or wreath is purchased. These figures were live on the farm's site at fetch time but may still reflect the prior (2025) season -- confirm current pricing closer to Thanksgiving 2026.
At over 200 acres with nine tree varieties, Maple Row Farm is one of the larger cut-your-own operations in Fairfield County. That size is a real advantage if a specific species is the priority – Concolor fir, for instance, isn’t offered everywhere, and having it alongside eight other varieties gives more room to be picky about the exact tree you want.
The farm’s site listed a weekend/Black Friday price of about $136 including tax, with roughly $14 off on weekdays. That’s a real, stated discount, not an estimate, and it stacks with a second incentive: weekends also draw a hayride crowd, and the farm charges a $20 parking fee on those days unless you buy a tree or wreath. A weekday trip is cheaper on the tree itself and skips that parking-fee calculation entirely. One caveat worth stating plainly: these figures were live on the farm’s site at the time of this research, but they may still reflect the 2025 season rather than a freshly confirmed 2026 posting, so it’s worth a quick check closer to Thanksgiving before treating the number as locked in.
Staff provide saws for cutting, and chainsaws are explicitly not allowed – so don’t bring your own power tool expecting to use it. Complimentary wrapping is included once you’ve made your cut, which saves a step compared to farms that leave wrapping as a separate paid add-on or a DIY job in the parking lot.
One detail that sets this farm apart from a simple “buy and hope” tree lot: a needle-drop guarantee. If the tree dries out badly before Christmas, the farm will replace it or issue a credit. That’s a meaningful piece of value for anyone nervous about a $130-plus purchase drying out three weeks early, and it’s the kind of detail a visitor wouldn’t necessarily think to ask about.
With 200-plus acres to cover, this isn’t a five-minute lot – expect to walk to find the right tree, especially if a specific variety like Concolor fir or White spruce is the goal and the closer rows have already been picked over. Weekend hayrides add a family-outing feel but also mean more people sharing the same fields. If a fast, low-crowd errand is the goal, a weekday trip solves both the cost and the crowd question at once.
Season runs Nov 22 through Dec 24, 2026 (Christmas Eve until noon), 9am-4:30pm otherwise. Go on a weekday: it's roughly $14 cheaper per the farm's posted figures and skips the weekend hayride crowd and parking fee.
About 1-1.5 hours for a cut-your-own visit across 200-plus acres, more if you add the hayride.
Not stated directly, but the record notes weekends draw a hayride crowd, which the $20 no-purchase parking fee is clearly designed to manage.
A $20 parking fee applies on weekends only if you leave without buying a tree or wreath; the record doesn't describe the parking surface itself.
Not addressed in the record beyond the acreage; at 200-plus acres expect real walking distance to find a specific tree.
Skip if you're set on visiting only on a weekend and want to avoid both the hayride crowd and the $20 parking charge that applies if you leave without buying a tree or wreath.
Not specified in the record.
