Join us at our red and green hilltop Christmas Tree farmstead and just feel the Christmas Spirit come to life!

What do you need to bring? Just YOU! We provide trail maps, saws, a handful of little, and we are happy to net your tree to ease transportation home!

You are welcome and encouraged to make an adventure out of your visit to Live Tree or Die Farm. Complementary Hot Chocolate and donuts by the outdoor fire can start or finish your time with us.

If you would like to capture a Christmas family photo, you are welcome to choose any one of the many beautiful spots around the farm. Our map provides some highlights to get you started.

The trees ready to take home have been tended multiple times each year for almost a decade. We have chosen to work organically WITH nature and avoid using herbicides and pesticides. We also love to allow the unique character to develop in each individual tree, so no two trees here are alike!

What is the perfect tree? It’s the one YOU choose!

About Us at The Live Tree or Die Farm

Our goal is to make your Christmas Tree shopping experience one that is unhurried and filled with laughter and joy. Nothing rewards us better than seeing families exploring the farm together in search of their favorite tree.

Since 2013, we have been organically cultivating, weeding and pruning Christmas trees so that you could choose and enjoy a locally grown Christmas Tree in your home.

Our farm is already welcoming the fourth generation of the extended family. We feel very blessed to enjoy freedoms of this country. This is especially true for Renee who is a first generation Cuban American. Her family arrived in the United States with nothing but a strong work ethic seeking economic and religious freedom.

We believe that celebration of the birth of Jesus is at the heart of the Christmas Season. We are grateful that we can freely express our faith as you will see by the small statues of Jesus and his Mother Mary near our home.

May your own Christmas Season be one of peace and joy!

John & Renee
