Christmas tree farms in Fairfield or Lichfield counties? (Shelton, Ridgefield: to buy, live)

I'm looking for Christmas Tree farm recommendations in the Fairfield and/or Lichfield counties. Anybody know of any? Especially a farm with taller trees (10'+)???

We'll be coming from Ridgefield.

Thanks!!!

I know that Jones Farm in Shelton has been around for years and people come from all over to buy Christmas trees there. I am sure though that there are others that would be more convenient to Ridgefield. Jay

We always go to Jones Tree farm in Shelton, but there are some in Easton that would be closer to you such as Maple Row Farm.

Maple Row Farm

I think there is also one in Bethel.

Thanks guys!!! Those farms look great!!!

My girlfriend who lives in Ridgefield also got recommendations for Jones, so I think we're going to give that place a try first!!!

Thanks again!!!!!

We've been going to Jones Tree Farm for over 20 years, we really love it. Just a word of warning though, it can get really crowded on weekends. I remember one year we tried to go in the afternoon, and the line to get in was backed up for a quarter mile. We had to go to another tree farm that year. The best time of day is in the mornings if you go on a weekend. Good luck, we plan to go this weekend, and it's going to be cold. It's always very windy at the farm, too. Brrrr.

Thanks for the heads up!!!!!!

Yes, we were shocked, too! LOL The line was way down Rt. 110.

You will be fine Sunday morning, that's probably when we are going, too. Have fun!
