Glove Hollow Christmas Tree Farm
Plymouth, New Hampshire · Grafton County
Opens Nov 21
Opens November 21.
Glove Hollow sits a minute off I-93 at Exit 24 in Plymouth, which is why half the cars heading north in December seem to pull in here. The Aherns have worked this land since the 1890s, and the fields are Fraser and balsam fir — cut-your-own up to about eight and a half feet, with taller pre-cuts down at the shop.
The kids treat it as a playground and the farm leans into it: a sixty-foot tube slide, a treehouse with an observation deck, goats and chickens to visit, a stagecoach station out in the fields, and hayrides that are horse-drawn some weekends and tractor-pulled the rest. Saws and sleds are there for you to use, they'll drill the trunk, and netting is $3 at checkout. There's hot cocoa by the fire pit inside.
Nothing here gets held back — no reservations, and every tree standing in the field is fair game. First pick is the weekend of November 21 and 22; the main season runs from Black Friday morning to noon on Christmas Eve, and there's a lockbox for anyone who turns up outside hours.

Christmas tree disposal and recycling in New Hampshire
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 Manchester — or Christmas tree disposal in every city we cover →
- How do I dispose of a Christmas tree in New Hampshire?
- 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 1 city in New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire?
- The one city we cover in New Hampshire says on its own page what becomes of a collected tree, and our page quotes 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.
