According to the Michigan Ag Council, Michigan is the third largest Christmas tree industry in the nation, harvesting approximately three million Christmas trees each year. So it’s no surprise that the Grand Rapids area has plenty of places to cut or buy your own fresh tree. It’s not only a festive family tradition, when the trees are installed at home they’ll fill the air with their warm, zesty aroma. If you’re heading out with your saw on the hunt for the perfect tree, check out the seven places below to procure your own pine, fir or spruce.

Red Flannel Christmas Tree Farm

Drive about 20 minutes north of Grand Rapids and you’ll find the Red Flannel Christmas Tree Farm in Cedar Springs. While it has trees ranging from six to 12 feet, prices are based on species – not size. Choose from the varieties like woodsy-smelling balsam fir, the citrusy concolor fir or the stiff blue spruce, among others. Red Flannel only takes cash or check, so leave your credit card at home. Open weekends only. 507 Cedar Springs Ave., Cedar Springs, MI 49319

Hart Tree Farm

Hart Tree Farm’s 120-acre farm is one of the more popular Christmas tree farms in town. Peruse its selection of pre-cut trees and decorated wreaths – or cut down your own. The cut-your-own trees are available in eight different species and range in size up to 10 feet. Saws are available to use for free on site. Open Monday – Friday from noon-6 p.m., Saturday – Sunday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. 8760 Young NE, Rockford, MI 49341
