A farm-animal petting area alongside the usual hayride sets this apart for families with younger kids, but no website, hours, season dates, or pricing were found anywhere -- this trip starts with a Facebook message.
Moccasin Creek Family Farm, run by Paul and Wendy Schlaefer on a 60-acre property, stands out among the farms in this research for one specific reason: a farm-animal petting area alongside the usual hay rides out to the choose-and-cut fields. That’s a genuinely good fit for families with younger kids who might not get much out of a straight tree-cutting trip on its own but will happily spend twenty extra minutes with farm animals before or after.
All the trees sold are grown in Wisconsin, and mostly on this property itself, across three species: Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir, and Spruce. That’s a narrower species list than some of the larger farms in this research, but the farm-grown-on-site detail is a nice point of local provenance if that matters to you. Staff will pick up, shake, and bale the tree after cutting, so you’re not left wrestling with tying it down yourself. Beyond the tree, the farm sells handmade wreaths and swags along with bundled boughs, and offers hot chocolate and apple cider.
This is one of the thinner records in our research, and it’s worth saying plainly: no dedicated website, no phone number, no season dates, and no pricing were found in any source we checked, including americantowns.com, a “Something Special Wisconsin” listing, and the farm’s trade-association membership entry. The most direct way to reach the farm appears to be its Facebook page. That’s not unusual for a smaller family operation, but it does mean this is a farm where you can’t simply check a website the night before your trip – plan to reach out ahead of time, ideally a few days in advance, to confirm the season is open and get current details.
We found no price information anywhere for this farm, for the tree itself or for the wreaths and swags. Under our own rule, that means no dollar figure appears anywhere in this page, and none should factor into your planning until you’ve confirmed one directly with the farm.
Hours, season start and end dates, parking, accessibility, saw provision, and cash-or-card policy are all unconfirmed. The coordinates on file are a Wisconsin Rapids city-center estimate rather than the farm’s actual rural address on Lundberg Rd, so don’t rely on a map pin alone.
If a family-friendly petting area alongside tree cutting appeals to you and you don’t mind reaching out via Facebook to nail down the basics first, this is a worthwhile stop for the Wisconsin Rapids area. If you need everything confirmed online before you’ll commit, this farm’s current public presence doesn’t quite get you there yet.

Not specified in the record. Expect an unpaved lot typical of a 60-acre working farm.
Not specified. Hay rides carry visitors to the choose-and-cut fields, which may reduce walking distance compared to farms without a ride option.
Skip this one if you need confirmed hours, season dates, or pricing before committing, since none of that is published anywhere we checked.
Yes -- the farm has a farm-animal petting area alongside the usual hay rides to the choose-and-cut fields, a good pick for families with younger kids who want more than just tree cutting.

What sets it apart locally: it has a petting area, a cocoa or cider stand, free netting/baling, which most Central Wisconsin farms on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 3 of the 7 farms we track in Central Wisconsin had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
