A 60-plus-year family farm with daily hours and pre-order tagging, but one that has reportedly sold out of cut-your-own trees before Christmas in a recent season — a real risk for late-season visitors.
Paine’s Christmas Trees has been family-run for more than six decades, and it partners with the nearby Top Notch Resort — a detail that suggests some coordination with local tourism, useful if you’re already staying in the area for a ski trip or similar visit. The farm keeps daily hours, 9am to 5pm, with shortened hours on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve, which is a more generous schedule than the many Vermont farms in this research limited to a handful of days per week.
The single most important thing to know about this farm: it has reportedly sold out of cut-your-own trees before Christmas in a recent season, at which point it shifted to selling only wreaths for the remainder. That’s a genuine planning risk if you tend to leave holiday errands for the last week before Christmas — a farm that runs out of trees doesn’t stay half-stocked, it appears to run through its available cut-your-own inventory and then simply stop offering that option. If you want to guarantee a tree from here, either go earlier in the season or use the farm’s tagging and pre-ordering service to reserve one in advance rather than hoping the field still has what you want in mid-December.
The farm runs a gift shop and sells wreaths and kissing balls, giving you something to browse beyond the trees themselves. No specific activities beyond shopping and tree selection are documented in the record, so this reads as more of a straightforward retail visit than a full agritourism outing with hayrides or animals.
No current tree pricing was found for this farm. One older review mentioned a rough figure from several years back, but it’s specifically flagged here as too stale to treat as reliable — prices change, and repeating an outdated number would do more harm than good. Call 802-888-5632 directly if cost matters to your planning. Separately, sources disagree slightly on the farm’s exact street number on Laporte Road; the address used here pairs with the confirmed phone number, but if you’re using GPS to navigate, double-check the address against the phone number before you commit to a route.
No 2026 dates were published, but the farm is open daily, 9am-5pm, with shorter hours on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve. Given the farm's history of selling out early, earlier in the season is the safer bet than waiting.
About 30-45 minutes for a straightforward tree purchase, longer if you browse the gift shop.
Not documented directly, but daily hours (rather than a limited weekend schedule) should spread visitors more evenly than farms open only a few days a week.
