Newby's Evergreen Farms

Our take

Newby’s Evergreen Farms builds a genuinely thoughtful visit around its wagon ride: staff ride along out to the field and offer guidance on where to find the best variety, shape, and size of tree, which is a real help if you’ve never cut your own tree before and aren’t sure what you’re looking for. Five species are available – Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir, Scotch Pine, White Pine, and Colorado Blue Spruce – and saws are provided.

After the cut

A bonfire with seating and picnic tables stays lit out in the field, so you’re not stuck standing in the cold the whole visit. After cutting, you get free coffee, plus coloring books and candy canes for kids – small, thoughtful additions rather than headline attractions, but the kind of detail that makes a return visit more appealing for families. There’s also a gift shop on site carrying local crafts, worth a stop on the way out even if you’re not buying anything tree-related.

An address worth double-checking

Here’s a genuinely useful piece of research: a trade-association directory listing for this farm shows a different-looking street number (“233050 County Road J”) than the farm’s own website (“2910 Co. Road J”). That’s almost certainly a data-entry error somewhere in the directory rather than two real addresses, and we’ve used the farm’s own site as the authoritative source here. If you’re navigating from a third-party listing rather than this one, double-check the address against newbysfarm.com before you drive, since a wrong digit in a rural route number could send you well off course.

Season and hours

Hours are weekend-only: Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The most recently published season ran from the day after Thanksgiving into mid-December, with a Dec. 19 closing date found in research – though the exact year that figure applies to wasn’t entirely clear in the sources checked, so treat it as indicative rather than confirmed for 2026. Call ahead to nail down the current season’s actual end date before planning a visit late in the window.

Money: an honest gap

No pricing was published anywhere for this farm. We’re not going to estimate a figure based on the amenities offered, however tempting that might be – call 715-842-7271 and ask directly.

What we don’t know

Parking surface, accessibility, and cash-or-card policy are all unconfirmed. The coordinates on file are a Wausau city-center estimate rather than the farm’s actual rural County Road J address.

If you appreciate a genuinely guided cut-your-own experience with a bonfire and gift shop attached, this is a solid weekend pick for the Wausau area – just use the farm’s own site for the address and confirm this year’s closing date by phone.
