What is suitable ATTIRE to wear to the farm?
Plan for the weather and wear casual, comfortable clothing. Very few areas of the farm are covered so plan accordingly. Footpaths are unpaved with uneven ground so sturdy footwear is recommended. Field conditions vary with the weather. If it has recently rained or snowed, be prepared for mud with hikers or boots.
What should I know about accessibility around the farm?
We are committed to providing an enjoyable visit for each and every guest to the extent that we are able to do so. Reserved parking for the disabled is available with close proximity to the farm yard. Access by wheelchair to the farm yard and some fields is only possible when weather and ground conditions are good and always under guidance of someone. However, please note that this is a working farm and all ground surfaces, including the parking lot, are unpaved with uneven terrain. For questions related to accessibility, please email infoHVTF@gmail.com or call 636-432-6757.
Are pets allowed?
As pet owners, we understand that your four-legged friend is like a family member. However, not every dog is mild mannered and friendly. Even social dogs, when in unfamiliar surroundings with new sights and smells, can become very curious and aggressive. This behavior can often intimidate children (and some adults) making them frightened. We don't want anyone's outing to be an unpleasant one, so please no pets at the farm. Thank you for your understanding.
Do you have a restroom?
Modern restrooms are available for your convenience.
Can a professional photographer take our family photo at your farm?
Yes, private photo sessions are permitted during select photo days in November.

What varieties of CHOOSE & CUT Christmas trees do you GROW and sell?
How do I know if a Christmas tree is for sale?

How do I care for my Christmas tree?
Caring for your real Christmas tree is easy! The most important things to remember are WATER and LOCATION. Trees are very thirsty. A fresh cut tree can consume up to ONE GALLON of water a day. Use a water-bearing stand with a minimum one-gallon water capacity. Check the stand twice a day, supplying fresh water as needed.
Ready to decorate today?
Before placing your tree in it’s stand, make a 1/2” - 1" fresh cut off the trunk base. This removes any wood that may have started to seal with sap and allows the tree to better take up water. Immediately place your tree in the stand and fill with fresh water. Keep in mind, if you allow the water level to drop below the fresh cut, sap will form a seal over the trunk, unabling the tree to take up any more water.
Pick a location in your home where your tree can be showcased away from ALL heat sources such as fireplaces, radiators and heat registers.
Waiting to decorate?
Make a 1/2” - 1" fresh cut off the base of the trunk and immediately place in a bucket of water. Store your tree protected from the sun and wind. When ready to bring into your home, follow the instructions above, making sure to make another fresh cut.
