The Farms at Pine Tree Barn

Wooster, Ohio · Wayne County

Call ahead unconfirmed for 2026

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

Pine Tree Barn started as a small Christmas tree farm south of Wooster in 1952 and grew into the place people drive across Ohio for — 150 acres, something like 75,000 trees, a 25,000-square-foot barn full of decorations and a restaurant to eat in afterward. Fraser and Canaan fir, white pine, blue spruce, Norway spruce and concolor fir all grow here, and you can take one already cut or go get your own.

The trip works like this: pick up a numbered tag and a saw from a salesperson, ride the Pine Tree Express caboose or a horse-drawn wagon out to the fields, cut, then drag your tree to the nearest lane and a tractor hauls it back to the barn. Weekend wagons run weather permitting, and a weekend cafe sells hot drinks and hot dogs. Dogs are welcome.

Two things worth knowing. There is a second lot — the North Pole on Valley Road — that only opens certain weekends, so check which one you're driving to. And nobody is allowed in the fields after dark, so if you're cutting your own, be there well before four.

Christmas tree disposal and recycling in Ohio

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 Cincinnati — or Christmas tree disposal in every city we cover →

How do I dispose of a Christmas tree in Ohio?
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 Ohio, 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 Ohio?
The one city we cover in Ohio 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.
