Our take

Crystal Spring operates at a genuinely larger scale than most farms in this research — the farm’s own site describes nearly 200 acres in the Mahoning Valley at the foothills of the Poconos. That’s worth taking with the appropriate grain of salt: it’s the farm’s own description of itself, not an independently verified figure, but even allowing for some marketing optimism, this reads as a larger operation than the smaller family farms elsewhere in this batch.

Two ways to get a tree, in one place

The farm offers both a choose-and-cut field and what it describes as a large pre-cut selection. That combination is genuinely useful for a group with mixed preferences — some people wanting the full field experience, others wanting to grab something already cut and move on. Long, consistent daily hours (9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., seven days a week) back that up, giving you more scheduling flexibility than farms limited to weekends or a couple of specific days.

More than just Christmas trees

Crystal Spring also runs a fall pumpkin patch on the same property, according to its own site. If pumpkins were part of your family’s fall tradition, it’s worth knowing this same location has a Christmas tree season waiting a couple of months later — a reason to remember the farm beyond a single visit.

What’s missing, and why it matters

No specific tree species were found in the sources reviewed, which is a real gap if you’re comparing farms based on whether they carry a particular fir or spruce variety. No pricing was found either, and no phone number was located, so calling ahead to confirm details isn’t as straightforward here as at farms with a listed number. The website is your best bet for reaching out directly.

Weighing the trade-off

The genuine appeal here is scale and flexibility: a large property, two ways to get a tree, long daily hours, and a second season (pumpkins) worth knowing about. The trade-off is that this record can’t tell you exactly what you’ll find growing in that 200 acres, or what it will cost you. If size and flexibility matter more to you than a curated, documented species list, Crystal Spring is a reasonable bet; if you want certainty about variety and price before you drive out, plan on reaching out through the farm’s website first.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Any day, since the farm is open daily 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. with no reported day-of-week restrictions.

How long to budget

45 minutes to an hour, longer if the property's described scale means more walking to compare choose-and-cut against the pre-cut selection.

Crowds

Not documented in the record.

What to bring

  • Cash as a safe default, since payment methods aren't confirmed
  • Questions about species and pricing to ask on arrival, since neither was published
  • Time to explore, given the property's described scale

Who it suits

Good for

  • large groups or families with mixed preferences, given both choose-and-cut and a large pre-cut selection
  • visitors who want long, consistent daily hours rather than a limited weekend-only schedule
  • fall visitors who might also check out the farm's pumpkin patch in season

Skip it if

Skip if you need a confirmed tree species list or price before visiting, since neither was found anywhere in available sources.

Worth pairing with

The farm also runs a fall pumpkin patch on the same property, per its own site, making it a multi-season stop rather than a tree-only destination.
