Set on picturesque fields, we dedicate ourselves to bringing you the finest quality Christmas trees while ensuring sustainable practices that protect our environment.
The Enchantment of Christmas Tree Farming
The process of cultivating Christmas trees is a labor of love. Each tree represents years of hard work, from planting to harvesting. Here at Hurleys Farm, we start by selecting premium seeds that will yield hearty, beautifully shaped trees. After planting, we ensure that each tree is nurtured with care, adhering to organic farming practices whenever possible.
A Sustainable Approach
- Environmental Stewardship: We prioritize sustainable farming practices by minimizing pesticide use and maintaining biodiversity.
- Recycling Christmas Trees: After the holiday season, we encourage families to recycle their trees, turning them into mulch or compost.
- Local Community Support: Our farm sources materials locally and supports neighboring farms, which promotes the local economy and reduces carbon footprint.
Varieties of Christmas Trees We Offer
Our Christmas tree farm boasts an array of tree species, each with distinct characteristics that cater to varying preferences. Here are some of the most popular varieties you can find:
1. Noble Fir
The Noble Fir is a classic choice for its stunning appearance and excellent needle retention. Its strong branches are ideal for supporting heavy ornaments, and its pleasant scent evokes the spirit of Christmas.
2. Fraser Fir
Known for its characteristic blue-green foliage and symmetrical shape, the Fraser Fir is often regarded as one of the best Christmas trees available. Its soft needles make it a favorite for families.

Spruce trees, such as the Blue Spruce and Norway Spruce, provide a striking aesthetic with their sharp needles and dense branches. Their unique colors and scents make them a popular choice among holiday enthusiasts.

Preparing Your Tree for the Holidays
Once you’ve chosen your perfect tree from our Christmas tree farm, it’s essential to ensure it stays fresh throughout the holiday season. Here are some best practices:
1. Trim the Base
Before placing your tree in water, cut about an inch off the base of the trunk. This helps the tree to absorb water effectively.
2. Water Regularly
Fill the tree stand with water and check it daily. A fresh tree can drink a significant amount of water, especially in the first few days.
3. Keep Away from Heat Sources
Position your tree away from heat vents, radiators, and direct sunlight to reduce water loss and needle drop.
4. Utilize LED Lights
Choose energy-efficient LED lights for decorating your tree. They produce less heat, making them safer and more sustainable.
