They don't have their main cottage open for hot chocolate this year but it's super adorable. The workers are very helpful. They were all wearing masks! Yay! It's great to see businesses taking this seriously especially in southern Wisconsin... They have a lot of trees but I wouldn't say this is the biggest tree farm I've been too. However, they do have some great trees over 10ft which can be hard to find. I wanted a 12 foot or bigger tree and we found at least 3 that would have been perfect. Here's the really amazing thing: they send a tractor with a forklift out to help you carry it in. That was amazing. I've had to lug huge trees a long way before and this was awesome. They helped me get the tree secure on the car and it's beautiful. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!

We were very excited that Country Side Trees was open the week before Thanksgiving. We drove from…read moreChicago to cut our own tree. Upon arrival, we ask where we could find 7ft Balsam trees. We were directed to the far corner but nothing was labeled. We aren't familiar with different variety of trees and it was much to our surprise when none of the trees had labels or signage. Next, was the issue of all the cut your own trees were barely over 5-6ft. After much disappointment, we decided to make our way back to the pre-cut trees. We picked a pre-cut tree that was 7ft tall, went to pay for it and yet another surprise hit us. Pre-cut trees are at least $20 more expensive. Again, no signage to let us know that. We purchased the tree anyway and it's lovely but not worth the drive or money.

If you're looking for the perfect pumpkin patch go here! I searched long and hard for a place that…read morewasn't overcrowded, didn't have animal rides or ridiculous pig races and landed here. Boy boi did it surprise me. Crowds: they limit tickets into their farm meaning it doesn't feel like you stepped into Disney land with insane crowds. Busy enough to feel exciting but not where you're bumping into people left and right. Cornmaze: the HIGHLIGHT of our visit. This isn't any ordinary corn maze. They have an entire scavenger hunt that connects to their app. So you have to find 14 question and scan the QR code to answer. If you find all 14 (it's a hunt) and get all the questions right you're entered into a raffle. We had SO much and found all 14. It was such a fun bonding experience for our family. Pumpkins, mums, and more: the pumpkins and mums felt very reasonably priced. And the mums were HUGE and healthy compared to getting them at the big stores. We also enjoyed some hot cocoa, hot apple cider and kettle corn. All delicious. Animals: I'm an animal activist and reduce to visit places where animals are forced to provide entertainment. This place had a petting zoo but didn't allow kids inside and there was no actual animals rides. Thank you Kroll's. We ended our trip with the hay ride which was also a treat and perfect way to relax before leaving. So stop what you're doing and pay them a visit! The cutest pumpkin patch

The weather was pretty terrible, but we were greeted warmly and given directions to wander the farm, as the tree varieties were all mixed together. Perhaps it was a tough year for Christmas trees, but the selection was very limited and the trees themselves weren't all that impressive. Upon inspection, many of them (we were looking for Fraser Firs) had sparse patches and inner needles and branches that were browning. There wasn't a single Fraser (and we walked the entire property) without some measure of browning, so I went to an employee to ask about the health of the trees. He was rather short with me and assured me that some trees just grew with that coloring. I asked him specifically if we needed to worry about the trees drying out and losing needles prematurely, and he replied, "You're cutting down a fresh tree, of course that's not a problem." We took his word for it and purchased a Fraser. It was in water within the hour and we put it up that evening. The first indication of a problem was the lack of water intake - according to Grandpa's directions, fresh trees should be drinking lots of water in the first day or two. Our tree stand barely needed refilling after the first night. The second indicator was a complete lack of scent from the tree or branches; in fact, by the second day there was an almost unpleasant aroma coming from the inner branches. The kicker is that one week after cutting down this tree, it has lost maybe 1/4 of its needles - we have branches that are ENTIRELY bare and we vacuum canisters full of needles each day. Aside from the terrible quality of the tree, I'm disheartened and angry that I was lied to and tricked into buying a half-dead tree. At this point it would have been more convenient and neater to set my $60 on fire. We will never return to this farm and have warned away everyone we know that was looking to cut down a fresh tree this year. Grandpa's should be ashamed of their dishonesty and terrible product.

I see Kevin P gave Grandpa's a pretty good review a couple of years ago. Not sure what's happened…read morein two years, but we were there last week and the tree we cut down is horrible. I'm 61 years old and I've NEVER had such a horrible tree. It hasn't soaked up much water at all and it's losing so many needles that it will be bare by Christmas. It's only been in the house for a week! Every time I brush against it, they fall and fall. Our daughter and her family came with us to cut their tree and they're having the same problem. There weren't too many nice trees, and many of them were brown inside. My daughter asked about that and was told "oh, don't worry about that, they just grow that way sometimes." We chose Grandpa's because they charged a fair price, but we could have paid $1 for this tree and it would have been too much. And, to top if off, this tree smells bad. I don't mean that it just doesn't smell good - it smells bad. So disappointed. We are probably going to take it down and get another one.
