Balsam Ridge — Attraction in Raymond

I wasn’t that impressed but I’ll give 3.5 stars because it’s difficult to find many tree farms in Maine (or around our area) to begin with. It’s harder to find ones open with good hours, actually posted online. Even harder during a pandemic. So kudos for that.

Pros: Lots of land to hunt for that perfect tree Pre-cut trees at the front is you’re in a hurry (about the average going rate $60-$70 as of this date 12/2020) Nice fire pit to warm up by They will wrap the tree if you want- Although it’s plastic netting so we avoid it.

We go to Balsam Ridge EVERY. YEAR. Whether it is hunting and cutting down our own tree or grabbing one that has already been cut for us.

The Balsam Ridge family has always worked hard to provide the best service and experience. We will always come back for our tree, a wreath, some maple syrup and a perfect way to start our Christmas...

Great little family run business. We went for Maine Maple Sunday. They have a fire pit, horses, open sugar house, and home made goodies as well as a food truck doing breakfast. Everyone was friendly. The only potential downside was there is limited parking and overall space but we’d definitely go again. We walked the...
