Frosty Mountain Tree Farm

"Nice trees but paying by the foot can be pricey"

The drive out to Frosty's Mountain Farm is beautiful!  From Hwy 101, you wind gently along Hwy 116 through quaint country roads past other tree farms to Frosty's.  The drive was delightful!

We were pleasantly surprised that this small farm had trees in excellent shape and there was also a great selection of tall trees.  The Christmas Trees were nicely trimmed and well spaced out so that the branches were mostly evenly distributed.  A huge plus is the free shaking and netting that  Frosty's offers.  They also have homemade popcorn that was yummy!  

The website sold me on the apple fritters, but honestly, they were not freshly made and were really nothing to rave about.  There was organic espresso and smoothies available for sale, but we didn't try any.  The red barn that houses Santa's Workshop and Mrs. Klaus' Kitchen were seriously underwhelming.  I think the website description set up expectations too high.

The main reason I am not giving this farm a 4 star rating is because they charge for trees by the foot. This year - 2009 - Frosty's Mountain Farm is charging $7.50/ft.  First let me say that I am little biased.  We have a tall ceiling and we're always looking for a tall tree.  So, I was a little disappointed to find that we wouldn't be able to get a suitable tree for under $75.  

Nothing much to do here for kids other than looking for a tree. We saw the tractor hitched up to a hay wagon, but it didn't seem to be running when we were there on opening day.  Not many families with young kids around unlike at the next door Reindeer Ridge Tree Farm which we walked over to.
