Frequently Asked Questions

If you still have questions, please feel free to call us at 515-266-9881 or email us at jmillertrees@gmail.com

What comes with my tree?

We provide shaking, netting, and twine for you to tie the tree on your vehicle. Once you pick your tree, just let one of us know and we'll shake out last year's needles on our shaker machine. We give each tree a fresh cut to help it drink water then wrap the tree in netting and carry it to your vehicle. We provide twine to tie it on your vehicle, but we can't tie it for you for insurance reasons. We also have free candy canes for everyone and free hot chocolate on the weekends!

Are pets allowed?

Yes, we love pets coming to visit! We ask that you keep them on a leash at all times and customers are expected to clean up after them.

Do you have restrooms?

Yes, we have portable restrooms next to the barn at the home farm.

Do you sell branches?

Yes, we have bundles of greenery with a variety of branches in each bunch. We also have freshly made wreaths and arrangements.

Can we pre-tag trees?

No, we don't allow any pre-tagging. Our fields are a first come, first serve basis.

When is your first day open?

We open the Saturday before Thanksgiving for our pre-cut lot and wreaths. It's our 60-year tradition that our choose and cut fields don't open until Black Friday.

Do you allow professional photography?

No, we don't allow any professional photography at the farm. You're welcome to take photos of your family while you choose your tree.

Do I get to cut down my own tree?

Yes, you're able to cut down your tree with our provided hand saws or we can cut it for you, if you'd rather. After you find your tree in the field, just come tell one of us and we'll bring a saw and measuring stick to tell you the price, then you can cut it.

Can I bring my own saw?

No, we don't let customers bring their own saw for the safety of our guests and insurance purposes. We provide hand saws after you decide on a tree.

What do you provide for kids?

We provide free kid's surprise bags (limited supply), free candy canes, and free hot chocolate on the weekends. The kids can also write a letter to Santa and leave it in his mailbox on the barn. Santa usually visits a few weekends each year! We have trails you can walk with your family and on weekends there is a campfire to roast marshmallows.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, Venmo, Paypal, or check.

Can I order a tree ahead of time?

Yes, we accept orders via email and phone. We would need contact information, pickup date, and size and kind of tree or wreath. Some orders require pre-payment.

Where are you located?

We're located just southeast of Yellowbanks Park on Vandalia Drive outside of Pleasant Hill, IA.
