Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin and Christmas Tree Farm
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · Franklin, Wisconsin · Milwaukee County
A 60-acre farm in Franklin, inside Milwaukee County, better known for its fall pumpkins, that opens its fields over Thanksgiving weekend for cut-your-own Scotch pine and balsam and Canaan fir.
Handsaws are provided, and staff shake and bale your tree, with twine on hand for the ride home. The fields hold Scotch pine, balsam fir and Canaan fir, and pre-cut balsam is available if you would rather skip the saw.
Fresh wreaths are sold while they last, and Santa has visited on the first mornings of the season. The tree season is very short, just a few days after Thanksgiving, so plan around that weekend. Cash and cards are both accepted.
