A broader agritourism destination (it also runs a fall pumpkin patch) that supplies free saws, tarps, and rope, and welcomes leashed dogs during tree season -- but the only season dates found in research are outdated, so confirm the current calendar directly.

Our take

Enchanted Valley Acres is a broader agritourism property rather than a single-purpose tree farm – the same operation runs a fall pumpkin patch and other family activities before pivoting to a Christmas tree season each winter. That context is useful if you’re already familiar with the farm from autumn visits and are wondering whether the same property does trees too; it does, marketed as a Dane County-area destination.

Genuinely convenient for a first-time cutter

One of the more useful details in the research here: the farm provides everything you’d otherwise need to bring yourself. Saws, tarps or carts, and rope are all supplied free, on top of baling, shaking, and help loading the cut tree onto your vehicle. If you’ve never done a cut-your-own visit before and were dreading having to own or borrow a saw, this removes that barrier entirely. Four species are available: Fraser Fir, Balsam Fir, Canaan Fir, and White Pine. Leashed dogs are welcome specifically during tree season, and free hot cocoa is offered, with donuts added on weekends specifically.

A dates problem worth flagging directly

Here’s something we caught in the research that’s worth being upfront about: the specific season dates found for this farm – “Saturday, November 23rd through December 23rd” – only make calendar sense for a year in which Nov. 23 falls on a Saturday. That’s 2024, not 2025 or 2026. In other words, the dates circulating in some tourism listings appear to be stale information from a prior season, not a current schedule. Rather than presenting outdated dates as if they were current, we’re leaving season start and end null here and telling you plainly: check enchantedvalleyacres.com directly for this year’s actual Christmas tree season dates before you plan a trip. This is exactly the kind of gap that’s better flagged than papered over with a plausible-but-wrong-year date.

Money: nothing confirmed

No pricing was found anywhere for this farm. Given the range of amenities provided free (saw, tarp, rope, baling, loading help), it would be easy to guess this farm charges a bit more than a bare-bones lot to cover that service – but that’s speculation, not something we found stated anywhere, so we’re not printing a number. Call 608-628-2435 and ask directly.

What we don’t know

Hours, parking, accessibility beyond the provided cart, and cash-or-card policy are all unconfirmed. The coordinates on file are a Cross Plains village-center estimate rather than the farm’s actual rural address on Enchanted Valley Rd.

If a fully-equipped, dog-friendly cut-your-own visit with a broader agritourism feel appeals to you, this is worth adding to your list – just don’t trust a cached “Nov. 23-Dec. 23” date you might find elsewhere online without checking the source year first.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Not specified with confidence -- the only season dates found (Nov. 23-Dec. 23) match a year when Nov. 23 fell on a Saturday, which is 2024, not 2025 or 2026, so treat that window as outdated and confirm current dates before visiting.

How long to budget

1-1.5 hours, more if you visit other parts of the broader agritourism property

Crowds

Not specified in the record, but as a broader agritourism destination marketed to the Dane County area, expect more general public awareness and potentially more weekend traffic than a smaller single-purpose tree farm.

Parking

Not specified in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not specified in the record. A cart is provided for hauling gear and trees, which may help visitors who have difficulty carrying equipment across the field.

What to bring

  • Nothing extra for cutting -- saws, tarps, carts, and rope are all provided free
  • A leash if bringing a dog, since dogs are allowed only on leash during tree season
  • A way to confirm the current season's actual dates, since the ones found in research are outdated

How to spend less here

  • No pricing was found anywhere for this farm -- call 608-628-2435 before assuming a cost
  • Free hot cocoa is offered, and weekend donuts specifically -- worth planning a weekend visit if you want the donuts, since they're not available every day

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors who want everything provided -- saw, tarp, cart, and rope are all supplied free
  • Dog owners, since leashed dogs are allowed specifically during tree season
  • Families already familiar with Enchanted Valley Acres' fall pumpkin patch who want to return for trees

Skip it if

Skip this one if you're relying on the Nov. 23-Dec. 23 dates found in some listings -- that window matches 2024, not the current year, so don't plan your trip around it without checking the farm's current site first.

Common questions

Are the season dates I found online (Nov. 23-Dec. 23) accurate?

Those dates match a year when Nov. 23 fell on a Saturday -- 2024, not 2025 or 2026 -- so they appear to be outdated. Check the farm's own site (enchantedvalleyacres.com) for the current season's actual dates before planning a visit.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes, on leash, specifically during tree season.

Do I need to bring my own saw?

No. Saws, tarps or carts, and rope are all provided free, along with baling, shaking, and help loading the tree onto your vehicle.

What else does this property offer?

Enchanted Valley Acres runs a fall pumpkin patch and other family activities in addition to its winter Christmas tree season, making it a broader agritourism destination rather than a single-purpose tree farm.
