Mayne’s Tree Farm

Great experience. In and out quickly but with the tractor ride to the trees a memorable experience for me (and I assume the kids). Price seemed very cheap but that could be because we lived in DC for the last 20 years and our perspective may be off!!! Definitely will do this as long as we live anywhere near Frederick!

I went to cut down my first Christmas tree ever over the weekend and I couldn’t have picked a better place! The entire staff was extremely friendly and the prices were half what the other farms in the area were. The concession stand with fresh cider was a must. The entire experience from once I pulled onto the lot until the moment I left was utterly perfect!
I will be a repeat customer!

Decent trees, TERRIBLE setup. Have one line to get in and out. Lines of cars to get in– have to walk a long distance to get trees or take a ‘tractor ride.’ One line to get out and pay. Will NOT be coming back.

Sweetest corn on the planet

My mom and I went today to get our Christmas tree, choosing Mayne’s rather randomly via internet search. When we arrived, there was a huge line of cars and we were concerned that it would take us a long time and be a bit stressful, but the line was moving quickly, and they had someone guiding traffic into open parking spots. We chose a cut tree rather than going and picking one to cut down, though they do offer that option. It was only $ 45 for a tree that is somewhere between 6 and 7 feet, which is a much lower price than I have paid at tree lots that were not local farms. The tree is now up in our living room and it’s perfect! It’s thick, fat, very green, and beautiful.
We also got our (great!) tree stand, some apple cider from a local orchard, tree food, and a couple of lovely ornaments. The people were friendly and helpful. They bound the tree in twine to hold the branches in for transport, which made putting it up easier, too. Hayrides were happening, too. Leaving was a little slower, but we learned that the reason for that was that many people were paying for their trees on their way out, as opposed to in the little shop where we paid for our with the rest of the loot. So, options! Yay!
Overall, we are VERY happy with the products, prices, and service. We will go back next year, for sure! And probably in October for our pumpkins, which they also do.

My girls and I picked strawberries yesterday afternoon. The strawberries were small and most of them were rotten. We picked up 3 boxes to fill up but only ended up being able to fill half of one box. They were 1.99/lb (which is the same price the grocery stores are charging for the big, beautiful strawberries) and less than 12 hours later, they were rotten. We had fun picking the strawberries but it would’ve been been better if we could’ve eaten the strawberries.

I purchased my first live Christmas tree here! It was a nice excursion. There were many trees to choose from. One suggestion I would make, especially since I was a first timer, is to label things more. For example, I had to search for a saw to cut our tree down only to find out that they were back where we had gotten on the hay ride. At least it was only a short walk, but labeling that and the types of trees would make the place easier to navigate. Overall, a great experience, and they bale the tree for your to strap it on your car or put it in your trunk.
