Prairie Elf Christmas Trees

Certainly the best cut your own tree option in Lawrence. Nice folks. Decent selection. Well-​run operation that will ferry you by tractor to the back where the trees are and then you and your tree on the return trip to the main house parking area. They will shake down and wrap your tree, as well as walk it over to your truck (no truck? Be prepared to figure out how to strap that mutha onto your Prius, hippie!). Inside the main house there is complimentary popcorn and apple cider, as well as a small arts/​crafts area for the little ones. Tree stands and watering aids are also on sale in the main house, along with a few wreaths and random decorative chatchkas. A good outing and fun. All that having been said, you should expect to pay a premium for your tree here — prices are high, although some pre-​cut, sub-​$ 50 trees are available. Super market parking lots provide much better value; come here for the experience. Also, it’s always 15 degrees colder here than it is in town. Be warned.
