11 Christmas Tree Farms in Wisconsin – Cut Your Christmas Tree

There’s nothing like choosing your Christmas tree to really put you in a festive mood, especially in a state like Wisconsin, where the early arrival of snowfall can really put you in the holiday mood. Visiting a Christmas tree farm in Wisconsin is a family tradition of ours!

Wisconsin is actually ranked fifth worldwide for how many Christmas trees are grown here and in such a wide variety of tree species! Statewide, there are over 23,000 acres of growth land and over 850 independent tree farms. Over 700,000 individual Christmas trees are harvested every year, ending up in homes around the country.

Many of these Christmas tree farms are family-owned and have generations of hard work and expertise behind the growth lots. Most offer both pre-cut and cut-your-own Christmas trees. Regardless of which you choose, spending a day at a tree farm is a great family experience. Add in the hot drinks, visits with Santa, and ornament shops, and you’re in for a festive day that will really put you in the Christmas mood.

Check out these Christmas tree farms in Wisconsin where you can take the perfect tree home, and be sure to check out what else they offer. There’s nothing like a steaming cup of cocoa while the snow falls around you.
