A little sense of adventure is needed for this search. The entire farm is always open for searching. Every tree is available, and there is no particular area where there is an abundance of a certain type or size tree.

The farm is entirely outdoors. Depending on the weather the parking lots can even be wet. Precut trees are a way to avoid walking through the farm. If you plan on venturing out to cut down your own tree you should be prepared to do a lot of walking. Maple Row Tree Farm has many acres of trees for you to look through!

A tree takes about four years from a seed to the time it is large enough to be put into the field. After this it will take on average about a foot a year. Different varieties will grow slower or faster than others.

Firs and Pines will hold their needles longer after being cut than a spruce will. It is important however to remember that each tree is in itself individual, and for this reason a specific tree may not hold its needles. Maple Row Farm guarantees all trees in that if it does lose a large number of needles prior to Christmas by returning the tree we will provide another free of charge or a certificate for a tree the following year.

Take a look at our Maps section.

Tailgating has become increasingly popular and, with this, so have people headed to the farm in groups. To accommodate this we ask that groups arrive together, as we park cars in the order they arrive. We also ask that you do not “reserve” space beyond your parking space; there are no tents in the parking area and visitors are asked to purchase a tree (not just party)! Thanks.

• Store your tree out of the sun & wind in a cool spot.
• Before setup, cut off 1/4 inch or more from the base.
• It is typical for the inner needles on the tree to drop when transporting. A few good shakes before bringing it inside will help to minimize falling needles.
• Keep water in your stand. A good stand will hold plenty of water, but should be checked daily, twice the first day. If your tree runs out of water, the base will need to be recut!

Maple Row Tree Farm is located in rural Easton. There are no restaurants in town. There are, however, numerous restaurants in nearby Monroe, to the east, and Fairfield, to the West. Here are a few:

-Blue Bird Inn, Route 58, Easton (203) 452-0697
-Little Pub, Route 58, Fairfield, (203) 612-4567
-Barcelona, Route 58, Fairfield, (203) 255-0800

Each tree type does smell and has its own unique smell. The easiest way to tell what a tree smells like is to break a needle or the end of a branch. This will let out aroma. Similarly in the home cutting a few branches every day will cause the tree to be more fragrant.

We try to provide our customers with the highest level of customer service. Unfortunately during our busier weekends, we are unable to assist in tying trees onto cars. We do however provide twine for this. During the week, we try our best to assist. Your understanding is appreciated.

We do allow dogs. In order to be respectful to all other tree hunters, we do require that your dog be on a leash at all times when on the farm.

Believe it or not, we do not allow, nor do we dig out any trees. It is said that there is as much of a tree underground as there is above. Therefore, to dig out a six-foot tree not grown to be dug, it would require a root ball weighing hundreds of pounds. If it must be a dug tree, a local nursery may be able to help.
