A flat $100-per-tree farm that's a genuinely strong deal if you want something oversized - the farm specifically advertises trees over 12 feet - but it's closed Mondays and only open a few afternoon hours the rest of the week.
Flat $100 per tree regardless of size, including large trees over 12 feet.
Newell’s flat $100 pricing, regardless of tree size, is the most useful single fact in this record, and it cuts a specific way: this is a strong deal if you want something big, and a mediocre one if you don’t. The farm specifically calls out a large selection of trees over 12 feet tall, and at $100 flat, a 12-foot tree works out to roughly $8.33 per foot - noticeably cheaper per foot than the $12-16 per-foot rates documented at other Twin Cities-area farms in this list. If you have the ceiling height and the vehicle to haul it, that’s a real advantage.
The flip side is straightforward: a small or mid-size tree costs the same $100 here as the oversized one does. If your plan was a 6-foot tabletop-adjacent tree for an apartment or a first place, you’re not getting a bargain - you’d likely pay less at a farm pricing per foot. This farm rewards going big, not going small.
Rather than the usual mix of straight fir and pine varieties, Newell offers Fraser fir alongside Fraser-balsam and Korean-balsam hybrid firs. Hybrid firs are often bred for a mix of traits from both parent species - shape, needle retention, fragrance - though this record doesn’t have farm-specific claims about how these particular hybrids perform, so treat “hybrid” as a genuine point of interest rather than an automatic upgrade.
This is where a visit here could go wrong if you don’t check first. The farm is closed Mondays entirely, and even on the days it’s open, weekday hours run just noon to 4:30pm - a short window if you’re coming from work or dealing with early winter darkness. Weekend hours are better, running 9am to 4:30pm both days. If a Monday or a weekday-evening visit was the plan, this farm won’t accommodate it.
No activities are documented beyond the tree selection itself - no hayride, no hot cocoa stand, no Santa visit turned up in the sources reviewed. That doesn’t mean none exist, only that this record can’t confirm any, so plan for a functional cutting trip rather than a family outing built around extras.
If you want a big tree and can work around limited hours and a Monday closure, Newell’s flat pricing is genuinely competitive. If you want something smaller or need daily flexibility, look elsewhere in this list first.
A weekend, since Saturday and Sunday hours run 9am-4:30pm versus the shorter noon-4:30pm window Tuesday through Friday, and the farm is closed entirely on Mondays.
Not documented directly, though with no activities listed beyond tree selection, this reads like a straightforward cutting trip rather than a half-day family outing.

Skip a Monday visit entirely, since the farm is closed, and skip this farm if you only want a small tree and were hoping to pay less for it, since the $100 flat rate applies the same whether the tree is small or over 12 feet.
Located in Scandia, Washington County, the same county as Krueger's Christmas Tree Farm in Lake Elmo, worth comparing given Krueger's per-foot pricing versus Newell's flat rate.
