Cut your own Christmas Tree, near Concord

This is a special year. Nuff said.

Maybe cutting your Christmas tree might be the perfect holiday excursion? And, being a city in the midst of a rural area, Concord, NH, is close to plenty of farms where you can cut down your own Christmas tree. Now, that Thanksgiving is behind us, most Christmas tree farms are open for business. And, by cutting down your own tree you get a Tannenbaum that is fresher, springier, and more fragrant. And it will last longer. You can have the thrill of an adventure, that is better than a crowded home improvement store parking lot.

Before Heading to the cut you own be sure to…

Measure for height and width, it all looks smaller outside.
Consider which type of tree is best for you — think needles, strength, and smell.
Call ahead. Check on hours, trees for cutting, saws, rope, bags and can you bring the dog.

The first Christmas tree farm opened in 1901 in New Jersey. Today, with more than 200 Christmas-tree growers in the state, and at farms scattered statewide, you can make a family tradition and track down, tag, and even cut your own Christmas tree.
