A choose-and-cut farm just north of Chambersburg with free shaking, drilling, and baling included, but weekday hours are limited to Friday afternoons only, and no 2026 pricing was found.
Quality Tree Farm sits just north of Chambersburg and offers a fairly conventional but solid setup: choose-and-cut Douglas, Concolor, and Fraser fir in the field, plus a pre-cut selection in the barn if cutting your own isn’t the plan for everyone in your group. What stands out is what’s included free with every purchase — shaking, drilling, and baling — which are services some farms charge extra for or skip entirely.
Based on the pattern found for this farm, weekday access is limited to Friday afternoons (noon to 5 p.m.), with no listed hours for Monday through Thursday. Weekend hours run fuller, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. If your schedule only allows for a Tuesday or Wednesday visit, this farm’s known hours don’t accommodate that — a weekend trip is the more reliable plan here.
Whatever the tree itself costs — and no pricing was found to confirm that — the shaking, drilling, and baling that come with your purchase are genuinely useful, no-extra-charge services. Shaking knocks loose needles and debris out before the tree goes in your house; drilling preps the stump for a stand; baling nets the tree for a secure ride home. Bundled together at no additional cost, these save you either money or hassle compared to farms that charge separately or leave you to handle prep yourself.
Three fir varieties — Douglas, Concolor, and Fraser — cover a reasonable spread of texture, color, and scent preferences without an overwhelming number of choices. Fraser fir in particular is broadly known among growers for holding its needles longer than many other species through a multi-week indoor display, a general horticultural fact worth knowing regardless of which specific farm you buy from.
The hours and season-length pattern found for this record (day after Thanksgiving through roughly December 21) reflects a prior season, not an explicitly confirmed 2026 posting. Pricing wasn’t found in any source checked. That means this is a farm where you should treat the hours as a reasonable planning starting point, but confirm both the schedule and the price with a quick call or a check of the farm’s Facebook page before finalizing a trip, especially if you’re trying to fit the visit into a narrow weekend window.
