McLean Christmas Tree Farm — Local services in Mount Vernon

Really put a damper on our Christmas tree experience. We arrived, waited at the entrance for somebody (I think everybody was off helping other customers), so we grabbed a saw and wagon and followed a well worn path to find a tree. Found one we liked and brought it back to pay, when we got harshly and very rudely yelled at by the owner. We apparently "ruined it for everybody" and "didn't check in" and are "ruining business by cutting down trees we aren't supposed to." No areas were marked off as no-go areas, no trees were marked off as no-cut, no signs told us to check in or to only cut certain trees, and no one was there to tell us otherwise.

He then lied and told her that they only accept cash, contradicting the information on their own website. Before this interaction we were considering getting our tree here this year, but after seeing how the owner treats people, we won't be back for pictures or trees, and we will recommend the same to...

Good business, beautiful trees, and candy canes for the kids. Be sure to wear waterproof boots, it will be muddy and wet. I also brought my jacket to lay down on while we sawed at the tree. A little pricey and no discounts on smaller trees, but great for bigger trees and everyone was very nice. They will netted our tree for an extra $5, but you must tie it to your own roof which wasn't a problem. Be sure to bring your own rope too. The prices on my picture are from 2020. They prefer cash or check, $3 fee...
