CRANE HILL TREE FARM

Crane Hill Tree Farm is a "Choose and Cut" (or we will cut for you) Christmas Tree Farm on Johnson Hill Road in Washington, Massachusetts in the beautiful Berkshires. It is owned and operated by the Spencer family.

We planted our first trees in 1989, opened for business in 1997, and now have approximately 3000 trees from first year transplants up through 10 feet. The primary species is the traditional New England Christmas tree, the Balsam fir; but we also have Fraser firs.

Supply for the 2010 Christmas season:

Crane Hill Tree Farm has enjoyed considerable success in its mission to add the joy of a real tree to the Christmas experience of as many families as possible. Unfortunately for a few years sales outpaced the ability of the trees to keep up. However, after a couple of years of short supplies and early closings the trees have caught up. We should have an ample supply of Balsams in the 5 to 8 foot size range. There will also be a limited supply of taller balsams and a few leftover very large Douglas Firs. Still, if you intend to come to the farm after about December 12, please email or call ahead for the status of our supply. (See below for email address and telephone number.)

DIRECTIONS:

We are just off Route 8 in Washington. (See links to maps below.)

We are about 20 minutes from Lee or Chester/Huntington.

From Rte 20 take Rte. 8 North to the village of North Becket. At the Becket General Store take a right onto High Street. Follow High Street up the hill approximately 1 mile. You are now in Washington. Take a left onto Johnson Hill Road. Crane Hill Tree Farm is on the right (approximately 3/4 mi.).

From the North:

We are only 20 minutes from Pittsfield or Dalton.

Take Rte. 8 South through Hinsdale and into Washington. Just past the Washington Town Park take a left onto Lower Valley Road. Lower Valley Rd. will pass under the railroad tracks, then will turn hard to the right, and after a little more than 1 mile will lead to a fork in the road. At that point bear left onto Johnson Hill Rd. Crane Hill Tree Farm is on the left at the crest of the hill (approximately 1/3 mi.). If you find yourself on a dirt road, you have taken a wrong turn.
