One of the closer cut-your-own options for Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown drivers, with a confirmed 2026 opening date, but payment is genuinely split by lot — cards work at a 3% surcharge in one spot, cash-only elsewhere — so bring cash regardless.
No pricing found in sources checked.
Wintergreen markets itself specifically as one of the closest cut-your-own or pick-your-own farms to the Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown metro areas — a genuinely useful framing if drive time is a factor in deciding where to go. For visitors weighing a shorter trip against a farther, possibly larger farm, this positioning is worth taking at face value, since it’s the farm’s own stated claim about its location relative to those cities rather than something invented for this write-up.
This is the single most practical detail in the record: payment is split across the property by lot. Credit cards are accepted at “Lot #1,” but with a 3% surcharge, while other lots on the same farm are cash only. That’s an unusual level of specificity to find documented, and it’s worth taking seriously — don’t assume that because one part of the farm takes cards, all of it does. The safe move is to bring cash regardless of where you expect to end up, both to avoid the surcharge and to make sure you’re not stuck without a way to pay if you’re routed to a cash-only lot.
If you’d rather not walk the field, pre-cut trees are available alongside the cut-your-own option, giving you a choice depending on time, weather, or how the day is going. No specific tree species were found in the sources reviewed, so if a particular variety matters to you, that’s worth asking about directly rather than assuming a standard Ohio lineup of firs, spruces, and pines will be on offer.
Wintergreen is a multi-season operation: beyond the holiday trees, it grows pick-your-own blueberries in the summer and sells chestnuts starting in early October until they run out. That’s a useful thing to know if the farm turns out to be a good fit for your family — it’s not a once-a-year destination, and a summer blueberry trip could be a natural way to scout the property before committing to a December tree run.
Specific hours and tree pricing weren’t published anywhere in the sources checked for this research, which is a real gap given how granular the payment details are by comparison. Calling (330) 221-3835 ahead of a visit is worth doing here, both to nail down the day’s hours and to get an actual price before you commit to the drive, however short it may be relative to other farms.
Opens the day after Thanksgiving (2026-11-27); specific hours weren't found in the sources reviewed, so confirm the day's schedule before you drive out.
45 minutes to an hour for a straightforward tree pickup.
Not documented with specifics, but the farm's own pitch — closest to three major metro areas — suggests it draws visitors specifically because of convenient drive time, which could mean more weekend traffic than a farm serving a smaller local population alone.

Skip assuming you can pay by card everywhere on the property — only 'Lot #1' accepts cards, and only with a 3% surcharge; other lots are cash only.
If you liked the property, Wintergreen also runs pick-your-own blueberries in summer and sells chestnuts in early fall, so it's worth a return visit outside the holiday season.
