Mike and I have been cutting down our own Christmas tree at D.J. Hussey Farm for over five years. I wrote about our first tree hunt on this blog back in 2013. It’s become one of my favorite traditions of ours as a family and this year I was beyond excited to introduce Sloane to the magic.

D.J. Hussey Farm
A few years ago we discovered D.J. Hussey Farm in Townsend, Massachusetts. D.J. Hussey’s makes the process of finding, cutting down and bringing home your tree simple. When you arrive at the farm, you park up the hill and check in at the barn to grab a tag to mark your tree and wait for a tractor ride to the trees.
The barn is absolutely beautiful and filled with homemade Christmas decor you can purchase or simply admire (I get our Christmas wreath at DJ Hussey’s Farm every year to hang on our front door). The staff is also incredibly helpful and friendly! They have fresh popcorn popping, light refreshments and kid-friendly bathrooms (complete with changing table!).
Christmas Tree Hunt
The tree farm is located at the bottom of the hill. Once you’ve checked in and grabbed a tag to label your Christmas tree, there’s a fun tractor hay ride waiting to take you down to the trees. It was a little snowy and chilly, we bundled up Sloane in this white quilted snow suit (comes in more colors here and here). It covered her from head to toe and worked perfectly to keep her warm!
I love our matching beanies! I’ve linked mine here.
So what was the major difference Christmas tree hunting this year vs. last year (aside from having a baby)? There was SNOW on the ground! In New England, getting snow before Thanksgiving is actually a bit early for us. It was wet outside but it made Sloane’s first tree hunting experience that much more magical – and our Christmas card photo op’s that much better!
