A choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm on Johnson Hill Road, owned and operated by the Spencer family. Traditional New England balsam fir — or we will cut it for you.
A reasonable supply this year. Cut-your-own balsams in the 5 to 8 foot range, and a few up to 9½ or 10 feet. Trees from our nearby field are cut every weekend and sold freshly precut — some as much as 11 feet tall — priced according to size and quality.
Coming after December 6? In recent years we have had to close after the first two or three weekends to preserve the supply for future years. This year might allow three weekends — so please call or email ahead. Cash, check, or credit/debit.
Crane Hill Tree Farm now has approximately 4,500 trees, from first-year transplants up through a few at 10 feet or more. The primary species is the traditional New England Christmas tree, the balsam fir.
After some extreme weather — too wet followed by too dry, as on farms throughout the Northeast — we have been planting vigorously, and for ten years now in a separate nearby field. Its first plantings are now 8 to 11 feet tall and looking beautiful.

The traditional New England Christmas tree — pick yours in the field, or we will cut it for you.
A good supply of beautiful 8-, 9- and 10-foot balsams for precutting — even a couple of 11-foot trees. Displayed near the shop and barn.
Have a very large room to fill? It measures 13 feet in height and 8½ feet across the base.
The precut trees are displayed prominently near the shop and barn. We now have a cone and materials for wrapping and netting trees — easier to load and unload your tree, especially if you don't have a pickup truck, and easier to get it into the house.
About 20 minutes from Lee or Chester/Huntington. From Route 20 take Route 8 north to the village of North Becket. At the Olde Village Market take a right onto High Street and follow it up the hill about a mile into Washington. Take a left onto Johnson Hill Road — we're on the right, about ¾ mile.
Only 20 minutes from Pittsfield or Dalton. Take Route 8 south through Hinsdale into Washington. Just past the Washington Town Park take a left onto Lower Valley Road, under the railroad tracks; after a little more than a mile, bear left at the fork onto Johnson Hill Road. We're on the left at the crest of the hill, about ⅓ mile.
If you find yourself on a dirt road, you have taken a wrong turn.
