An established cut-your-own farm with genuinely long weekend hours, but no 2026 pricing or season dates published yet, and the same brand also runs off-site retail lots elsewhere in the metro that are worth not confusing with this actual farm.
Rum River is a long-enough-running operation that it’s expanded beyond a single farm into a small retail network - the brand runs seasonal pop-up lots at other locations around the Twin Cities metro in addition to this actual cut-your-own farm in Oak Grove. That’s genuinely useful to know before you drive out: if what you actually want is walking a field and cutting your own tree, you need this specific Oak Grove address, not one of the brand’s retail lots, which almost certainly sell pre-cut trees only.
The record has real hours, just not confirmed-current ones. In the 2025 season, Rum River was open Monday through Friday from noon to 8pm, Saturday from 9am to 9pm, and Sunday from 9am to 7pm. That Saturday window is unusually long compared to most farms in this batch, and it’s a fair guess that reflects genuine weekend demand rather than an arbitrary choice. 2026 hours weren’t posted at the time this record was put together, so treat the schedule above as a strong starting point rather than gospel, and check before you drive out on a specific day.
Neither a starting price nor a pricing structure has been published for this location, which means this page can’t tell you what to budget. That’s a real gap, not a minor omission, since cost is usually the first question anyone asks about a tree farm. The practical move is to call ahead and ask directly, or be prepared to hear the number for the first time when you’re standing in the field with a tree already cut. Rum River has offered an email-signup discount in past seasons through its website, which is worth checking before your visit, though whether that offer is running this year isn’t confirmed here.
The farm offers tree shaking, netting and baling, and help tying the tree down to your vehicle - a genuinely useful set of services if you don’t have your own rope or netting and don’t want to improvise in a parking lot. Wreaths and garland are also sold on site, so you can round out a few holiday purchases in one visit. Species on offer include Fraser fir, balsam fir, Canaan fir, Scotch pine, and white pine, giving you a real choice between fir and pine without the widest possible selection.
This reads as a solid, established choice for anyone comfortable calling ahead for pricing and confirming the current season’s hours before committing to a specific day. What it lacks compared to some other farms in this list is any documented activity beyond the tree-cutting and loading services - no hayride, no bonfire, no Santa visit is mentioned in the record, so if those extras matter to your day, this may be a functional stop rather than a destination outing.
A weekday afternoon, if the 2025-season hours carry over - Monday through Friday runs noon to 8pm, which is calmer than Saturday's 9am-9pm window that suggests the farm expects its heaviest weekend traffic then.
Not documented directly, but with tree shaking, netting, baling, and vehicle tie-down help offered, plan for more than a quick cut-and-run - closer to an hour once you factor in prep for the drive home.
Not documented directly, but the 2025 hours found show Saturday running longer than any other day (9am-9pm versus a noon start on weekdays), a reasonable signal that Saturday draws the heaviest crowds of the week.

Skip planning a firm budget around this farm until you've called for current pricing, since none is published, and double-check you're headed to the actual Oak Grove farm rather than one of the brand's off-site retail pop-up lots elsewhere in the metro.
Located in Oak Grove, Anoka County, within reach of Hansen Tree Farm in Ramsey and Kavan Family Tree Farm in Lino Lakes for comparison if hours or availability don't line up here.
