Doe Orchards – Harvard, MA

Join us for day 3 of Cut Your Own Christmas Trees.  Sunday, maybe our last day!

We still have a large number of trees to choose from.  Apples, cider and apple firewood are at the stand.

HOURS: 9am – 4 pm,  last entry to Christmas trees at 3:30pm

Parking will be in the upper field this year.  Please look for Staff to direct you.

When you have cut your tree, you can pay for it by card, cash or check at a stand in the Christmas trees.

Here is what to expect:

You’ll have a short walk to the Christmas tree area.  Once there, find your favorite tree and cut it (we can help cut and carry).

Take your tree to a Christmas tree stand & pay, tie your tag on a branch at the base of the tree.  Get in line with your tree for your ride back to the parking lot.

When you leave the parking lot drive down the hill toward the balers.  Pull over to the right in the designated area for tree pick up.  Your tree will be baled with net & tied on your car

The price of the tree, $75.00, covers everything including tax!

Your tree tag is your receipt.  Should you want to contact us about your tree you’ll need it.

Please make way for the tractors!

Walk only on the left side of the roadway, staying on the grass is best, or walk through the orchard to the Christmas trees!

NOTE:

Due to the necessity of wagon interval scheduling it is very unlikely that we can stop to pick up trees in the field – trees will only be loaded on the wagons at the stands.

Our first few hours can be very busy.  You might find yourself waiting for a saw, help cutting a tree, wagon transportation, baling and tying the tree on your car… in short, if you are in a hurry, later in the day or in the weekend is a little less busy.  Bring your own saw if you have one.

Opening Friday, Nov. 26th, then Saturdays and Sundays until sold out.

There is no shortage of big, beautiful trees.  Most are Balsam Fir.

Friday morning can be very crowded. We ask you to consider coming to the farm later in the day on Friday, on Saturday, or Sunday.

There can be longer wait times at each step.   You may wait for a saw, for a trailer ride, for baling and tying the tree on your car.   Your patience and good cheer will be appreciated.

 Foot and car traffic will be different so please look for directions.

We need space to do our jobs.   Let us load and unload the trailers. Please allow the tractors to pass by on the road and by the stand.

Your tree may have a tractor ride to the parking lot without you! Keep your tree tag with you for I.D. Take a photo of it, just incase.

Finally, we considered a reservation system but made the decision that it would not work for us this year.  We will consider it for next year.

If you come to our stand for apples you are welcome to walk and check out trees. There is no tagging system but you can get an idea of where to head when we open for cutting.

Check back for more information!

Up-Date for today 10/07-

We are open for Pick Your Own apples including Gala, Cortland, Fuji, McIntosh, Ruby Mac, Macoun, Jonagold, Golden Delicious and Empire.

Many apple varieties including Honeycrisp, all harvested from our orchard, are at the stand, along with apple cider. Wickson crabapples will also be available for a while.

There is a small but charming bunch of gourds and pumpkins at the stand to check out. We’re open every day for the fall from 10am to 5pm. We focus on our fruit and orchard environment and we sell only what we grow on this farm.
