Pine Creek Christmas Tree Farm

A farm with a fuller list of add-on services than most in this research — hayrides, baling, a gift shop, and a snack stand — but the underlying source material looks dated, so treat the whole listing as unconfirmed until verified by phone.

Our take

Pine Creek’s described offerings are more extensive than most farms in this research — winter hayrides, a gift shop, a snack and refreshment stand, and tree baling and netting service all appear in the source material. If those details are current, this would be a genuinely fuller-service option than a bare cut-your-own field. The problem is that “if those details are current” is a real, open question here, not a routine caveat.

Why this listing needs extra skepticism

The information found for this farm comes from an older pick-your-own-Christmas-tree directory listing — itself only accessible through cached search results, since a direct fetch of the page returned an error — plus a general business directory that also references the operator running a separate commercial tree-spading business. Two things stand out. First, the season description (“Thanksgiving Day until the 3rd week in December”) is stated only in general, relative terms with no specific year attached, which is a sign the listing may not have been updated recently. Second, the fact that the same operator runs a commercial tree-spading business (moving larger trees with their root systems intact, typically for landscaping) suggests that retail Christmas tree sales to individual families may no longer be the primary focus of the operation, even if it once was.

Neither of those points proves the farm is closed to the public. But together they’re enough that this record can’t respond to that with confidence one way or the other, and the honest thing to do is say so rather than present old information as current.

What the record does describe

If the older details still hold, the farm grows four species — Austrian Pine, Scotch Pine, White Pine, and White Spruce — and offers saws on-site so you don’t need your own. Hours were described as weekdays from 3:30 p.m. until dark, and Saturdays starting at 9 a.m. Payment was cash and check only, no cards — a real trip-planning detail if it still applies.

The honest bottom line

There’s no pricing information in any source reviewed, so this record can’t offer a number regardless of how current the rest of the listing turns out to be. Given the specific reasons to doubt this listing’s currency — its vague, unyear-ed season description and the operator’s apparent shift toward commercial tree-spading — the single most useful thing this page can tell you is: call before you go. If the farm confirms it’s still selling retail Christmas trees to the public, everything else described here is a reasonable starting point for what to expect. If you can’t reach anyone or get a clear answer, treat that itself as a signal and consider one of the other, more currently-documented farms in this directory instead.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Not confirmed for 2026. Older listings describe weekdays from 3:30 p.m. until dark and Saturdays from 9 a.m., with the season running Thanksgiving Day until the third week of December, but no year was specified for that pattern.

How long to budget

Longer than a basic cut-and-go stop if you take advantage of the winter hayride, gift shop, and snack stand described in the record.

Crowds

Not documented in the record.

Parking

Not specified in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not addressed in the sources reviewed.

What to bring

  • Cash or a check, since the farm is reported as cash and check only, no cards
  • A phone call before you go, given the source material's apparent age and the farm's other tree-spading business line
  • Realistic expectations that details here may be historical rather than current

How to spend less here

  • No pricing was found in any source reviewed for this farm, so this record cannot state a number. Given how dated the underlying listing appears, ask directly about current tree pricing as well as whether baling or netting costs extra.

Who it suits

Good for

  • visitors who want a fuller-service farm experience — hayrides, gift shop, and refreshments alongside the tree-cutting
  • shoppers interested in Austrian Pine, Scotch Pine, White Pine, or White Spruce
  • anyone comfortable confirming operating status by phone before making this the anchor of a holiday trip

Skip it if

Skip planning a visit here without calling first, since the source material describing this farm's hours and season appears dated and gives no specific year, and the operator's separate tree-spading business suggests retail tree sales may not be the current primary focus.

Worth pairing with

Not documented in the record.

Common questions

Is Pine Creek Christmas Tree Farm still operating?

Unconfirmed. This listing relies on an older pick-your-own-Christmas-tree directory entry and a business directory, not a current farm website. The operator also runs a separate commercial tree-spading business, which suggests retail Christmas tree sales may not be the primary focus today. Call ahead to confirm before planning a visit.

What are the hours and season dates?

Older sources describe weekdays from 3:30 p.m. until dark and Saturdays from 9 a.m., with a season running from Thanksgiving Day until the third week of December — but no specific year was given, so treat this as historical rather than confirmed for 2026.

Does the farm accept cards?

No, per sources reviewed — cash and check only.

What's available besides cutting a tree?

Winter hayrides, a gift shop, a snack and refreshment stand, and tree baling/netting service, based on older source material.
