Whispering Pines Tree Farm

Oconto, Wisconsin · Oconto County

Call ahead unconfirmed for 2026

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

Half an hour north of Green Bay, Whispering Pines is the northeastern Wisconsin trip families make a whole day of. Balsam and Fraser fir, spruce and white pine grow at the Airport Road farm in Oconto, and a second lot on Libal Street in De Pere sells pre-cut trees for anyone who wants one closer to town.

The farm end is built for kids: a train-themed tractor and wagon out to the fields with a hand saw, Santa's workshop for photos, life-size singing reindeer, and hot cocoa waiting when you walk back in. Pre-cut trees run from table-top to twenty feet, shaking and baling are done for you, and the holiday shop carries wreaths, garland, kissing balls and ornaments. Weekends bring food and the biggest crowds — and, some years, the Highland cows.

Christmas tree disposal and recycling in Wisconsin

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 Madison · Milwaukee — or Christmas tree disposal in every city we cover →

How do I dispose of a Christmas tree in Wisconsin?
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 Wisconsin, 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 Wisconsin?
Both cities we cover in Wisconsin 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.
