Snowshoe Evergreen Choose & Cut

We’ve been going here for many years, but noticed a change last year and it was worse this year. The selection of trees was way down from prior years. Not sure if the business is shifting more to a wholesale lot or what. We went all in years ago and bought their stand because it was such an easy system. This year they drilled our tree really crooked (unusable). A manager tried to do some OJT or counseling of the obviously new and almost non English speaking employees that messed it up, but they didn’t seem to understand. The manager/​owner/​boss told us to tilt the stand since the hole was wrong. Absolutely no attempt to make it right. We felt like we were being herded out. He looked frustrated and way over his comfort level. We won’t be going back. I bought another stand and recut the expensive tree we just bought.

It pains me to write this, because we have been coming her for over 15 years. Why in the world would they make a «White» tag and a «Grey tag»? Out in the field they look the same. The tags are for the height of the tree and the grey tag is the next size up over the white tag. But what was worst was the selection of trees. We usually have over 30 tree in our size range to choose from. This time we had less than 10 and that includes the wrong color tags! We thought we were getting a white tag tree and instead it was grey and had to pay significantly more. Most businesses would make it up to you for this but they did not, insisted on charging us the full amount.
I have never been this disappointed in getting a tree before. We will probably not go back again. i suggest you call ahead of time to see how many trees they have before you go.

Beware of the color tags. Many are weathered to the point of undistinguishable. We cut down a white tag tree and when I pulled it to the tow lane, I was told it was a grey tag. Even the employee said this was the 7^th time in just her shift that someone was mislead by their tag system. Grey tag is a 25 dollar difference, a 90.00 tree.
Having the tree shook, netted and have a hole drilled on the bottom is supposed to be included in the price… not a single one of those was done. They claim their machines can’t work on their grey tag trees because they are too big. That should be mentioned before you go out to cut a tree.
Management was apathetic to all of Snowshoe Evergreen Choose and Cut shortcomings. The lady’s response to my family was, «It’s the first week of selling trees, we’ll sell this tree no problem. Feel free to go elsewhere.»
This is my second time coming to Snowshoe, since my parents are friends with the owner, It was recommended. But after this experience I will take my money elsewhere next season.
And lastly, when we put the tree up in our house, It wasn’t even the «grey tag» height, it was the «white tag» tree anyway. So just was overcharged by Snowshoe Evergreen.
Good luck to everyone on their search for a Xmas tree, and I hope Snowshoe fixes themselves before other patrons divert their business elsewhere.

Being from California, cutting down our Christmas tree is something we never experienced and couldn’t wait to do. This our 2^nd year doing so and my family and i plan on making this a yearly tradition.
They have an assortment of trees to choose from and they provide you with a saw to use to cut down your tree. I highly recommend you bring a cardboard with you so that you don’t have to lay on the dirt while cutting down your tree. Once you cut down your tree, a tractor will pick it up from the field to get your tree drilled, netted, and ready to go. The service was fairly quick. I like how they have a kids area by checkout to keep the kids preoccupied while waiting for our tree. The kids can write a letter to Santa and they offer face painting for $ 3.
Overall our family likes this tree farm and plan on coming here yearly to get our tree. They do not accept credit cards, so only cash and checks accepted. They do have an atm at the entrance if needed.

Found this tree farm with my now husband just driving around the first Christmas we spent together. Made a mistake last year and went somewhere else. BIG MISTAKE but lesson learned. We will definitely go back to Snowshoe and continue to make it a tradition. The price is great staff are friendly and location is nice

**CASH OR CHECK ONLY, NO CREDIT CARDS**
(ATM onsite w/2.75 service charge)
After starting the hunt for the perfect tree on another lot, we found ourselves here.
These guys do a great job and have an easy to follow system setup from identifying the fields and a color code system for tree pricing.
Start your journey at the giant inflatable snowman, then grab a saw, get the run down of pricing and tree options, then it’s off to find the tree thru many acres of options.
After cutting it, just bring it to the nearest farm road and wait for a helper to tag it and take it up for you.
Once you get to the end there is an espresso stand, activities for the kids, a team of guys trimming, drilling, shaking and netting the trees, and the pay station!
Very reasonably priced.
My only gripe… every «perfect» tree we spotted was untagged (NOT FOR SALE) some almost worth the $ 20 penalty for cutting an untagged tree…
Merry Christmas. We’ll be back!

Busy tree ucut tree farm with great tree baling service but devoid of the romance and fun of the season. They are a large enterprise with a healthy respect for their bottom line, kinda like an impersonal costco. They Provide almost no help, attaching tree to top of the car but they will put tree on the car. Their facility is well maintained, their parking lot lot is well gravelled. They have a lot of middle sized trees of many varieties but it seems to be a Rebuilding year as they have very few tall trees. most of their larger trees seem to be in an area that is closed off. Their young staff tries but has a hard time trying to figure out what to do when they encounter a variation from the script. Remember not to bring a dog, pay without your white slip, Bring anything other than cash, desire a large tree or expect anything other than an assembly line experience.
