A flat $75 per tree regardless of size and a field marketed as unusually flat and accessible make this a fast, no-frills stop, but there's nothing here beyond the cut itself and no confirmed 2026 opening date yet.
Flat rate of $75 per tree, any size, tax included
Mt. Anthony Tree Farms runs on a pricing model that’s genuinely unusual for the area: $75 per tree, any size, tax included, rather than the height-tiered pricing most Vermont cut-your-own farms use. That’s worth doing the simple math on before you go. If you’re after an 8- or 10-footer, $75 flat is likely a good deal compared to farms that charge more as trees get taller. If you want something small enough for an apartment or a table top, you’re paying the same $75 as everyone else — there’s no discount for going compact. Know which end of that trade-off you’re on before you commit to a farm based on price alone.
The farm’s own marketing describes its North Pownal field as flat and easily accessible, with ample parking, and a third-party regional source echoes that this makes it friendlier for strollers and older visitors than many of the hillside tree farms common in southern Vermont. That’s a real, if modest, differentiator — a lot of cut-your-own operations in this part of the state involve some amount of walking uphill through uneven ground, and a flat field removes that variable. It’s not confirmed whether the parking area itself is paved, gravel, or grass, so expect a typical farm lot rather than assuming pavement.
Beyond the tree itself, the record lists exactly one activity: netting and baling the tree for transport, done free of charge, with staff available to cut the tree for you if you’d rather not swing a saw yourself. There’s no mention of restrooms, food, hot cocoa, hayrides, or a gift shop — nothing found suggests this is a destination to linger at. Treat it as what it appears to be: a straightforward, get-in-get-out cut-your-own lot where the value proposition is flat pricing and an easy walk, not an afternoon of extras. That’s a legitimate way to run a tree farm, but it means budgeting an hour at most, not a half-day family outing.
The farm’s calendar as published only covered the 2025 season: a Nov. 22-23 opening weekend, then Friday through Sunday after Thanksgiving, 9am-4pm. No 2026 dates had been posted at the time of this research, and that absence is worth taking seriously rather than assuming the pattern repeats exactly. Vermont’s Thanksgiving-adjacent opening weekends shift by a few days each year depending on the calendar, and a farm running a narrower Friday-Sunday week (rather than daily hours) leaves less room to make up for a wrong guess about which weekend it opens. Call the farm at 802-688-6257 before making the drive, especially if you’re coming from outside Bennington County specifically for this stop.
Balsam fir and Fraser fir are the two species on offer, both standard, reliable choices for a cut tree that will hold up through the season indoors. Nothing in the record suggests a wider selection is available, so if a specific species matters to you beyond those two, this may not be the farm to bet on.
No 2026 opening date was published as of this research. The farm's pattern is Friday through Sunday, with the weekend before Thanksgiving also open, so plan around that recurring schedule once dates are confirmed.
About 30-45 minutes for a straightforward cut-and-go visit, since there's no food, restrooms, or activities listed to extend the trip.
Not documented in the record. A Friday-through-Sunday schedule with no weekday hours suggests weekend crowds carry more weight here than at farms with daily hours to spread visitors out.
The farm markets its North Pownal field as flat with ample parking, which a third-party source notes makes it friendlier for strollers and older visitors than many hillside Vermont tree farms — this isn't independently confirmed as paved.
Described by the farm as flat, easily accessible terrain, a contrast to the sloped fields common elsewhere in southern Vermont. No mention of accessible restrooms or facilities, since none appear to be offered at all.
Skip if you want restrooms, food, or extra activities beyond the cut itself, or if you're hoping to save money with a compact tree, since the $75 flat rate applies no matter the size.
