Terra Cotta and Christmas Experience at the Farm
saturday december 14th
Join us for a magical winter adventure! The day begins with a leisure-pace guided hike through Terra Cotta Conservation Area, where we spend about 2,5 hours wondering in mature forests.
After the hike, we’ll head to a charming Christmas tree farm straight out of a Hallmark movie!
Get into the holiday spirit as you browse their stunning selection of fresh Fraser and Balsam Fir Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands, and greenery. Their retail shop is packed with seasonal treasures and treats perfect for gifts—or a little something for yourself!
Enjoy live music, cozy firepits, and the aroma of wood-fired pizza and hot apple cider filling the air. Don’t forget to meet the adorable farm animals, including the furry highland cows with their thick winter coats and fun personalities, and the enchanting Nitka deer, who looks like a tiny reindeer.
Whether you’re snapping a photo at the Griswold wagon, sipping on hot cocoa, or picking out the perfect tree, this trip promises to bring the holiday magic alive. Celebrate a classic country Christmas with us!
