Our place of choice is Pine Brook Hollow Tree Farm in Macungie. My family just loves it here. And that love starts as soon as you enter their property.
We jump from the car and wander down the dirt path that leads to the area that I refer to as the "Christmas Village". The Village includes a cute little building where they sell arts & crafts (also where Santa can be found on certain days/times), an area where they sell wreaths and have free popcorn & apples and a place where your tree gets "shook" and wrapped.
We like to cut down our own tree but you may also choose from fresh cut trees as well. We retrieve our saw from the "Saw Hut" and begin our trek to find the perfect tree.
Usually, this is where the playful arguing begins "I found the perfect tree!", "No, I did!", "Check this one out, it is better than those!". At that point, my husband just rolls his eyes and says "just tell me which one to cut down".
We carry our tree back down to the area where they will shake it for you. This eliminates the loose pine needles ending up in my living room...yes, I'm picky like that. Lastly, we visit the building where arts & crafts are sold, as this is where we will pay for our tree. From there you can view out to the pond where the resident swans can be found.
I have to say, the people that work there are so very friendly. In my 10+ years that I have come here, I have never encountered an unfriendly person. And that says a great deal about the people who own & manage this business.
If you are looking for the holiday experience & a place to create memories with your family, Pine Brook Hollow is the place to go.
Love that sign! We "hunt" and cut down our tree every year. It's such a great tradition to have.
