Pinestead Tree Farms

We have been going here for 25 years now and are very sorry someone got ahold of the name and it went out on KARE 11 as best Christmas place around. It is still great but I have to buy my tree very early to miss the Twin Cities folks coming up to get their trees- cut your own or precut. The family that owns this place is the best. They have wonderful selection of different trees. The gift shop is great as is the food you can get. They have Santa and hayrides and saws to use. I love the big bonfire you can sit around and roast your own marshmallows, sausages or hot dogs. Kids love the hot chocolate and nothing can beat their nice dogs and the staff

This is great, friendly, family-run business. We have come here for a few years and have always found excellent cut-your-own trees. The owners are helpful and appreciative, they seem to love what they do.  Browse their shop, have some hot cider and a cookie, and sign up for the emailed $5 coupon they send out each year!!  Tip:  we usually avoid the crowds and head up there on a Thursday afternoon/evening.

A fun place to take the kiddies or even just the adults to pick out a Christmas tree or just take in the atmosphere. We go every year with friends even though we don't get a tree ourselves. I have found some wonderful wreaths and greenery there and love the campfire outside for roasting marshmallows. The little store has some really cute, unique gifts and there is the chance to sit on Santa's lap. Fun for all.

This tree farm has a great assortment of pre-cut and cut-your-own trees of all types, all in easy walking distance to your car (the picture gives a good idea). They provided the sleds and saws for the do-it-yourselfers, while the rest of us cooked hot dogs and enjoyed hot coffee around the campfire. Wreaths are freshly made by one of the talented owners. I agree with the previous poster - they know their trees and grow them with care, and prices are very reasonable. The family and staff are very friendly and helpful, making this a great family experience. Will definitely return.
