One of the quintessential holiday activities is picking out the perfect Christmas tree. If you prefer the time-honored tradition of cutting down your own, these are the places to go:
The Wildes is located in Trafalgar and offers two holiday experiences. The first is their cut and carry Christmas tree event from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 29, 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 30, and noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 1. No reservations are required and trees are priced based on type and height.
The second holiday experience at The Wildes is their Christmas event on Nov. 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. Reservations are required and tickets are $55 per car. This event features live music, warm drinks, gift shopping in the mercantile, fellowship and family photo opportunities. Registration can be done on their website.
You’ll find Peiffer Christmas Tree Farm in Trafalgar as well. They offer both cut and uncut trees and fresh wreaths. They are open on Nov. 24, Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, as well as every weekend following while supplies last. Visit their Facebook page for hours and updates.
Trees from DeHart is another local favorite. Here you can cut your own tree and top off the experience with hot chocolate, wagon rides and a meal from the food truck. The farm is located in Nineveh and is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to dark. Opening weekend is Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 and they'll be open every Saturday and Sunday after until Christmas while supplies last.
Located in Franklin, Jenkins Farm Market is known for their produce and market in the summer and fall, but come winter it's a great place to buy pre-cut trees as well as fresh, handmade wreaths, festive decorations and more. They’re open every day from Nov. 29 through Christmas Eve.
Another great place for pre-cut trees is Welch's Holiday Farm. Their trees, wreaths and door hangers are sold at Farm Girl Mercantile in Franklin and at their pop-up market in front of the Wishing Well Motel in Whiteland.
