Fairview Tree Farm on Saw Mill City Road in Shelton opens its fields for the 2026 Christmas season on Friday, November 27, the day after Thanksgiving, at 9 a.m. Families can walk the rows and cut their own tree, pick a pre-cut fir, or book the farm's evening hayride.

What grows there

The cut-your-own fields hold trees from seedling size up to 12 feet, in eight varieties:

  • Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce, White Spruce and Serbian Spruce
  • Fraser Fir, Canaan Fir and Concolor Fir
  • White Pine

For anyone who would rather not saw, the farm also sells pre-cut Fraser firs from 6 to 11 feet.

What a tree costs

The farm sets one price by height rather than by variety: $108 for a tree up to 9 feet, and $125 for anything taller, plus tax.

Field hours

The tree field closes promptly at 4 p.m. every day it is open, so plan to arrive with time to walk and cut:

  • Saturday and Sunday: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Monday and Friday: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Wednesday and Thursday: 1 to 4 p.m.

The farm's posted schedule lists no Tuesday hours.

Hayrides, day and night

Fairview runs two kinds of hayride. By day, visitors can stop at the wreath barn and take a hayride with Santa. After dark, the farm's Night of Lights Merry Christmas Hayride takes riders on a tractor-pulled wagon through the decorated tree fields. Night of Lights tickets are sold in advance through the farm's website, where the dates and times for this season are posted.
