Stowell's is a 321-acre hill farm in Brookfield with more than fifty acres of it in Christmas trees, and it has been running choose-and-cut since 1972. Getting there is part of it — country roads, then a drive out through the fields to find your tree. Balsam, Fraser and Canaan fir grow here, shaped loose rather than clipped tight so there's room between the branches for ornaments.
Pick a tree and they'll cut it, package it and help you load it; if you'd rather not walk the rows, there are pre-cut trees taken fresh out of the blocks that day at a lower price. The Christmas barn is where families end up afterward — a wood furnace to thaw out beside, a live electric train layout, antique farm equipment, wreaths decorated and plain, Vermont maple syrup, and a bake sale run by a local non-profit selling food and hot drinks.
The facts
- Cut-your-own Balsam firs and Fraser firs; pre-cut too
- Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas, 9–4. They cut and package the tree and help you get it on the car.
- Also at the farm: electric train display, bake sale with food & hot drinks, warming hut by the wood furnace, decorated & undecorated wreaths, Vermont maple products
