Choose & Cut Christmas Trees
Since 1965

2026 Season Update
( Updated 9/22/26)
Schedule: Tagging begins October 1st. Volunteers who help plant and run the farm have advanced tagging, all other tags found early may be removed.

Tagging Trees: We have a new tagging process this year. Tags now have a section that you will tear off and we will match it up when you come to cut it down. You will still need to write your info (name/phone number) on the tag that attaches to the tree.

Cut Your Own Trees: 2026 will be tagged trees only. Most of our cut your own trees that are 6' or larger are Concolor. We have a few Spruce and Fraser, but this is very limited.

Pre-Cut Trees: We will have a large selection of Balsam and Fraser from Vermont and Canada.

Our History

- Mary A. Herrick Memorial Forest -

William E. Dorman donated his family's 100-acre Tree Farm to New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) in 1990.

The forest was donated in memory of Mary Herrick, who was related to Mr. Dorman's mother. The land had been in the Herrick family for at least seven generations, and Mary left it to her cousin's son William (Bill), who was an active conservationist. To conserve the forest in her name, Bill donated the land to New England Forestry Foundation to become one of it's many community forests. The forest is open for passive recreation, with an excellent trail system constructed primarily by Bill himself. The High Ridge Trail connects Herrick Rd. to High Ridge Rd. and is open for your enjoyment. The Christmas Tree Farm was started in 1965 by Bill and his Family. He hired many local friends and acquaintances who became lifelong friends and in some cases partners. He passed in 2005.
