• Are you open Thanksgiving Day?
  No, we are closed Thanksgiving Day.



• What forms of payment do you accept?
  We accept cash or credit cards. We do not run debit cards - we will only run them as credit cards. A $2.00 processing fee will be added to credit card transactions.



• Can we cut down our own tree?
  We would prefer if you would allow us to cut your tree for you. But if you cut your own tree, One of our employees must be present to tag it and show you where on the tree to cut. Trees may not be "topped" at our farm. You may not bring a chainsaw to the farm.



• Do we have to bring a mask?
  Maybe. We will keep a close eye on Covid and other respiratory disease rates and determine at our time of opening whether or not we will require masks in the gift shop this year. You may want to pack your own mask. Regardless, we will have masks to give you at the gift shop if we need to reinstitute our masking policy. If you do not want to wear a mask, you will be able to pay for your tree at the gift shop porch checkout window. Thank you for supporting us in protecting our employees and elderly parents.



• In what circumstances would you ask customers to wear a mask in the gift shop?
  We would only ask you to wear a mask in the gift shop if we felt that we needed to protect our employees and elderly parents from Covid and other illnesses. We are a small family business that has “at risk” family members that we love. We would also like to keep our business open for our entire season. If we get sick, we could have to close down. And while you will have come and gone with your tree, other families would miss out. We will continue to have our gift shop window open if you prefer to pay outside. We sincerely thank you for your help and cooperation with this.



• Do you have restrooms?
  We have port a potties behind the barn.



• Do you have tall trees?
  We are called Tall Timbers. But the name Tall Timbers was chosen for sentimental reasons. The name comes from the very tall white pine at the corner of our barn line- planted by our great, great grandfather and the line of old Maples in front of our barn, saved by our grandmother to be a windscreen for her apple orchard. Each year we do have some tall trees, but they sell out fast and they are not the primary focus of our business. (In fact that didn’t occur to us in 1988 when the business was named!). The best selection of tall trees can always be found early in the season.



• Can we still walk out to the field to find our tree this year?
  Yes! We have found this to be effective in reducing heavy customer traffic and wait time. We will have a map available for you to pull up on your cell phone and we will provide directions and signs in the field. When you have found your tree, wave down a driver and he will cut down your tree and drive it back to the barn to be processed!



• Can we drive our car out to the field?
  Nope! We ask that you park by the barn and walk to the welcome area by the barn where you will wait for directions for walking out to the field. Absolutely no customer vehicles will be allowed in the tree fields.



• What date will you be closing for the season?
  Our last day for the season will be Tuesday, December 12, 2023. We will be closing at 5:00 on that day.
