We open the Friday after Thanksgiving and close on the fifth Sunday after, or sooner if the field empties first. There is no second harvest and no held-back stock - what stands in the field on opening day is the entire year.
Opening weekend draws the biggest crowd and the tallest Fraser firs. By the second weekend the 7 and 8 foot rows are usually gone. By the fourth, it is mostly balsam and whatever pre-cut is left by the barn.
We post which rows are still open on the sign by the entrance each morning, not online - the field changes too fast for a website to keep up with it.
