We are still in FALL mode here as we take in the beautiful crisp air and splendor of fall color. But, Christmas is right around the corner. This week’s tree deliveries and the hustle and bustle in the Old Barn Christmas Shop is proof that Christmas starts Nov. 1!

We are very close to opening the doors on our 45th season on the farm. We invite you to experience the magic of an Old-Fashioned Christmas at Prairie Pines. Bring your family and visit Santa, take a trailer ride, wander our garden paths, and visit our Old Barn Christmas Shop full of unique and beautiful ornaments. Enjoy the natural setting as you browse the fragrant selection of trees or sip on warm cup of hot chocolate or apple cider. A children’s train ride is available during Santa hours and carols ring through the air when some of our favorite local choir come to sing.

We endeavor to continue offering a choose-and-cut Christmas tree experience. We want you to know that extreme heat and dry weather have greatly slowed the growth of our pine trees here on the farm. We are also regularly experiencing drought related losses. We also experienced a fire this year in a field of up-and-coming Christmas trees. This situation has currently created limited availability of trees to cut. Luckily, we had a lot of rain this year and it was great for the trees! So we are hopeful that our traditional pine tree offerings will be available for 2026. We are opening up a unique field of trees, full of Loblolly pines, for cutting. Loblolly are native to the southeastern US and they are currently growing well in this dryer climate. We have also sourced a larger than usual variety of fresh premium pre-cut trees from Michigan and North Carolina. The overall selection of trees is truly beautiful. Your continued support is our greatest help during these difficult times.

Santa visits Prairie Pines on the weekends in a charming setting of decorated trees and Santa’s vintage sleigh. Enjoy this time for children to share their wishes with Santa. Snap a photo from your phone or take advantage of our professional camera setup. You can see our full schedule here for all the times and details of what is offered this holiday season!

We can’t wait to see you this season.
