Arriving at the Tree Farm
Once you arrive at the Wild Rose Tree Farm, you are greeted at our main building. Saws are picked up here. You can look at the farm map and get a map handout to help navigate on the farm. Once you finish your tree selection you will return here to get your free hot apple cider and popcorn. You pickup the Tractor Ride at the rear of the building.. . . Quality Christmas Trees from Wisconsin . . .

Free Tractor Rides
On our busy weekends we have 4 tractors with trailers to give you a ride around the 151 acre farm. The dimensions of the farm are 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile - so lots of trees to select from. Generally you tell the driver what kind of tree you are looking for, and they will drop you off at the correct location. Once you cut your tree, they will help you load and return to the tree shake and bale area.
Lots of Wreaths & Garland
We have the wreaths displayed inside a covered fabric structure. This provides a location that you can check out all our wreaths and garland, even in the worst weather situations. On display are Classic round wreaths, specially decorated wreaths, unique shapes like candy canes, arches and swags. We also have the latest designs of Kissing Balls that have beautify custom ribbons. Remember, you can call ahead to reserve a wreath to make sure one is available for you.
WOW...such beautiful Wreaths!!
Our classic wreaths are made with Fraser Fir boughs. They retain their freshness and color long after the season is over. Each wreath has a red fabric bow, white tipped cones and red berries. They come in sizes with outside diameters from 22” to 60”.
Cutting trees in the fields
There are lots of trees on the farm to choose from. We do not allow pretagging of trees and there are no ‘reserved’ trees...you get to select any tree you like. Our farm has a rolling countryside with a pond and swamp area that houses many animals. The fields have mown grass areas so it is easy to walk in the fields.
Preparing the tree for Baling...At the Shaker!
We offer free Tree Shaking to clean all the old dead needles and field grasses in the tree. This ensures that when you get the tree home it should bring in less old debris from the fields. It takes about 1 minute for this unique tractor attachment to shake it out.
Baling the tree...makes it easier to handle.
The Tree Baler is a special machine that carefully folds the branches toward the trunk and then wraps the tree in a plastic twine to hold it in shape. Our Balers can handle any size tree you purchase. The finished product is about 18” in diameter and much easier to tie on your car and to carry into the house. Sometimes when we have severe cold weather we can not wrap trees because we don’t want to break any branches.
Trees in the field
We are always planting new rotation of trees to make sure there are trees to cut in the future. Our trees are planted as 4 year old transplants that we purchase from local nurseries. It takes about 8-10 years to get a 7 foot tree. The trees are sheared (or shaped) with knives every summer to produce full symmetric shapes. Trees are planted on a 7’ by 7’ spacing ratio.
Inside the Country Christmas Store
Inside our main building we have the pay counters, the Country Chritmas store and the food area. Our clerks at the pay counters will carefully wrap your ornament purchases. We always offer a free ornament when you return with your postcard that we send out in early November. The Country Christmas store has thousands of unique and interesting ornaments,decorations, and figures to help decorate your home..or to add flair to a wrapped gift. Our food area has a large sitting area for the family to warm up (on those cold or rainy days), drink the free Apple cider and enjly the fresh popped popcorn.
