Smiths' Christmas Trees
105 Orchard Hill Road L0S 1M0 Fonthill, ON, Canada

We were very busy last weekend with so many happy families getting out early to choose their tree. As a consequence, tree supply is very limited on our farm. Pete still has a great selection of Colorado blue spruce on his field! His trees are from 8 to 12 feet tall, and they sell for $80.

Opening day!! Can't wait to see you all. Bring a saw. Wear a mask. Be kind! #smithstrees #pelham #chritmastree tradition

It's almost here our favourite time of the year! This year we are opening on Saturday, November 21. We will be open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until December 20. Once again, we are partnering with Pete’s Premium Trees, who are growing beautiful Colorado Blue Spruce on one of our fields. Both fields are accessed by the parking lot at our house. The prices for the trees have not changed from last year: $40.00 for Smiths' Trees and $80.00 for Pete’s Premium Trees. Ou...r (Smith's Trees) selection is limited, so the best and tallest (8’) trees go first. Pete has an almost unlimited supply of trees up to 12 feet tall. The big change for this year is COVID 19! We have put protocols in place to protect our customers and staff. We will unfortunately not be able to provide hot cider and cookies this year, and toys will not be available for the children. The garage and washroom will also be closed off. We will accept cash but would appreciate exact change so we can reduce the amount of cash that we have to handle. We are also hoping (stay tuned) to be able to accept debit card payment this year! Please bring your own saw with you, as we will have a limited amount available to borrow and will be disinfecting them between use. Our staff will be wearing masks, and we ask that you do the same when interacting with us. When you are here please maintain an appropriate distance (2 metres) from other guests and please do not visit our farm if you are feeling unwell. There are lots of changes this year but we're looking forward to seeing you again soon!

We have declared the farm Closed for the Season! It was a very interesting selling season with the addition of Pete's Premium Trees. These are big and beautiful Colorado blue spruce trees grown on a different part of the farm, and were very well received. Our friend Peter ran that field and did a great job. He knew that because those trees were so large and full it would be difficult for the customers to get them to the car, so he carried them from the field to the car i...ndividually in a small trailer. He was kept very busy, but it worked out well. Next year we plan to continue with the two fields and two prices. Pete is planning to increase the capacity of his tree transfer service to accommodate the expected increase in volume of the larger trees. A good growing season will allow us to replenish the traditional Smiths' Trees field so we should be able to offer a good selection again next year - especially for the people who come up early in the season. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 2020!

This last Sunday was a challenge for us AND the hardy souls that made their way out into our field and selected their tree! It was inspiring to see people being so happy and enthusiastic in the face of such weather. Our hydro was off for about 4 hours, so our hot cider was not so hot. The selection in the main field has dropped to the point where we are going to have to shut down to save some trees for next year. However, "Pete's Premium Christmas Trees" still has a big selection of excellent trees. These are reached by a short walk from our parking lot. After you choose your tree, it will be delivered to your car. You can then enjoy a cookie and a glass of hot cider (hydro permitting).
