Each farm has a selection of live Christmas trees and allows you to pick your own tree from its natural setting, cut it down and cart it home. Most Christmas tree farms in Westchester, Fairfield, Putnam, and Dutchess counties are slated to open Thanksgiving weekend, but it’s a good idea to call to confirm dates and availability before visiting.
