Add a sledding hill and skating pond to the usual cut-your-own trip and you get a genuine half-day family outing, though you'll need to call ahead for pricing and any off-hours visit.
Most cut-your-own farms are built around a single activity: you walk out, you cut a tree, you leave. North Countree Christmas is a genuine exception. Alongside the usual choose-and-cut field, it has a sledding hill and an ice-skating pond on the property – amenities that are unusual enough among the farms in this research that they change what kind of trip this actually is. If your family wants a half-day winter outing rather than a 20-minute errand, this is one of the few farms in the batch built for that.
Family-owned since 1990, the farm grows about 40,000 trees across four species: Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir, Colorado Blue Spruce, and Scotch Pine. It’s located roughly 60 miles north of Green Bay off Highway 141/180, which puts it firmly in day-trip territory for that metro area rather than a quick local stop. Saws are provided for the cut-your-own experience, and pre-cut trees are also available in the same four varieties if you’d rather skip the field walk.
The farm opens “from Thanksgiving Day on,” which resolves to Nov. 26, 2026, and runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, 9 a.m. until dark. No closing date has been published. That “until dark” detail matters more here than at farms with a fixed closing time – plan your visit for earlier in the day if you want time to actually use the sledding hill and skating pond rather than racing the sunset after cutting a tree. The farm explicitly asks visitors to call ahead for any shopping outside its regular Fri-Sun window, so don’t plan on a spontaneous Tuesday visit.
No pricing was published for this farm in any source we checked – not for cut-your-own trees, pre-cut trees, or the sledding hill and skating pond. We’re not going to invent a figure, and neither should you when budgeting for the trip. Call (715) 856-5784 and ask directly what a tree costs and whether the sledding hill and skating pond carry any fee of their own, since those extras aren’t standard at most farms and could plausibly be free, included, or separately priced.
Parking surface, accessibility, cash-or-card policy, and whether sleds are provided or bring-your-own are all unconfirmed. The coordinates on file are a Wausaukee city-center estimate rather than the farm’s actual rural address on Schlies Rd, so navigate by the street address rather than a map pin.
Given the sledding hill and skating pond, this is one of the more distinctive family outings in this research – worth the extra driving distance from Green Bay if you’re building a full afternoon around it rather than just picking up a tree. If you’re pressed for time or need a weekday option, this isn’t the farm for that trip.
A Friday, Saturday, or Sunday from Thanksgiving Day through the season -- the farm opens Nov. 26, 2026, and runs 9 a.m. to dark those three days a week.
2-3 hours if you take advantage of the sledding hill and skating pond, not just the tree cutting
Not specified in the record, but a sledding hill and skating pond are unusual enough additions that they likely draw families beyond just tree buyers -- expect more foot traffic on weekends than a bare-bones cut-your-own lot.
Not specified in the record. Expect an open field typical of a 40,000-tree working farm.
Not specified. This is a cut-your-own farm on open farmland, so expect uneven, unpaved terrain, especially near the sledding hill and pond.
Skip this one if you're short on time and just want a fast in-and-out tree purchase, since the on-site activities are a big part of the draw here, or if you need weekday hours.
