Want To Cut Your Own Christmas Tree? Here’s A List Of 16 Massachusetts Farms

It sounds so romantic, doesn't it? Walking through a forest of Christmas trees to find the perfect one for your home, and your family to enjoy over the holidays. Massachusetts is filled with Christmas tree farms, from the north to the south and plenty out in the western suburbs. With the help of google, and Only in Boston, I am sharing my findings. Many offer hot cocoa or cider, donuts, and rides. Others offer beautiful walking trails, and weekend activities for the kids.

If you are looking to find and cut your own Christmas tree this year, you better hurry. Many of the farms I was researching were closing for the season, as I write this, because they are sold out. Make sure you call ahead or check their social media pages to see if they are open. Below is a list of 16 Massachusetts farms, if you want to cut your own Christmas tree. And should the farm near you be closed for the season, keep this list handy for next year.
