Wolcyn Tree Farms

Cambridge, Minnesota · Isanti County

Call ahead unconfirmed for 2026

We couldn’t confirm this farm’s 2026 season — call before you drive.

Wolcyn is one of the largest evergreen growers in Minnesota, out on Highway 95 about eight miles west of Cambridge and 30 miles north of Anoka. Seven kinds of tree stand in the choose-and-cut fields — balsam, Fraser, Canaan, Korean and Siberian fir plus Scotch and white pine — and the barn keeps fresh-cut trees for anyone who'd rather not carry the saw. They also run a lot at the St. Paul Farmers Market and one in Northfield for families who can't get up to the farm.

Hand saws and twine come with the trip; no axes and no chainsaws. The crew shakes the tree, bales it and helps tie it down whether you cut it yourself or picked it out of the barn. Hot apple cider, coffee and cookies are free every day, and the gift shop is half the reason people come — Minnesota-made ornaments, hand-painted barnwood signs, puzzles, blankets and Wolcyn mugs thrown by a St. Paul pottery. Come on a weekday if you'd rather not share the lanes.

Christmas tree disposal and recycling in Minnesota

The other end of the same trip: when the tree comes down in January, disposal and recycling are a city job and the rules change at the city line — here is who takes it in Minneapolis · Saint Paul — or Christmas tree disposal in every city we cover →

How do I dispose of a Christmas tree in Minnesota?
Not at the farm — getting rid of a tree is a city service, and the rules change at the city line. We read the tree collection page for 2 cities in Minnesota, linked just above: each one says whether the tree goes out for curbside pickup or to a drop-off site, and what has to come off it before it does.
Is there Christmas tree recycling in Minnesota?
Both cities we cover in Minnesota say on their own pages what becomes of a collected tree, and our pages quote that sentence. Where a city doesn't say, we don't say it either.
Who handles Christmas tree removal once the season is over?
The city, or the county authority that runs collection for it — that is the body every page in that January list is read from, and the only one that can tell you when it is running. Private haulers will take a tree away as well; they are not on this site, because we only write down what a city puts in writing itself.
