We had a wonderful visit to Darlings on Saturday. Being recent transplants from the NW to the NE we were able to pick out our tree in the snow for the very first time. The experience was nothing short of magical for my three year old daughter. This is an organized operation- from parking to providing a sled and saw to shaking, baling and tying the tree to our roof- everything was full service. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes which was great. The cost for a medium size tree is $55. Their hours as posted this year are 9-4 Saturday and Sunday. There is a shop with wreathes and a few no cost amenities- cider, 'reindeer food' and coloring books. There is a large variety of trees- from species to width and height they have a lot to choose from. As this farm is only 10 minutes from our home I expect we will come back year after year. read more

I tried a review last week, but Yelp didn't post it because it was "too long" Pfft, whateva! Hahaha! So let me begin! I CANNOT say ONE bad thing about this place. If I could give it 10 stars...I would! As a kid, my dad and I always went to this tiny place to get our tree. This was before Darlings existed. Well, ole boy who has that Christmas tree lot, was only open for TWO WEEKS!! Laaammmme! I missed him by 2 days. I flew in on the 12th, he was gone the 10th (eye roll). So, I had never cut down a tree...until this year. On Thanksgiving, I called my parents from Boise and told them that we were LONG overdue for a LIVE Christmas tree! Every year I'd come home, they'd have this fake ass tree...puke. Then, I came home a few years ago and it shrunk. It was the size of a Hanukah bush, haha! So I told them that this year, I'd buy the tree, set it up, decorate it, take it down and do all the clean up. The agreed faster than I ever expected lol. Made me happy they wanted a live tree again. It's been over 20 years!!! So when ole boy was closed, we tried a few other lots and then I came across Darlings and one other place. The other place was $25, any size. They didn't have the various types of trees that Darlings has tho. So my mom and I end up Darlings on Dec 16th. She wanted a smalllllll tree. I was like...why pay that $$ when I can get a bigger for the same price. No idea why they were anti-big Tree lol. So we sniped at each other for a second and left hahahaha! I've ALWAYS been huge on getting gigantic trees. This year, I didn't get that, because I respected that they didn't want a huge one. I went back to Darling's the following day so I could surprise my parents. Lemme say, my first visit, they were absolutely fantastic! Told us the prices right off, and everything they do regarding the trees i.e. cutting down, wrapping up, loading, etc. I went back on the 17th and again, was immediately greeted with the happiest people! I wish I knew his name, guy around 40 yrs old, super friendly and accommodating. I'm thinking he was the owner or one of them. I began walking around the property, looking for the perfect tree. It was SO hard not to get the 10 footer I wanted lol. I found a perfect 6ft one. Not too big, right? Perfect enough so my mom wouldn't stroke out lol. I was still worried tho lol. I found another employee, Jill. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL human being! She helped me out on the measure and pricing. $55 bucks. For me, that's not bad. Trees today are absolutely RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. So all the prices here were reasonable. Most expensive was $70, I think? Depending on size. Either way, they're up front with you as soon as u get there. If you don't know how pricing works...ASK. THEM. they are more than willing to help. Anyway, Jill got a guy to help me out. He actually cut it down for me, hahaha! Then I loaded it up on the sled and brought it back up. I was talking to Jill a lot. Funny lady. I loved her. Then told her I was off to get a tree stand. They sell them there! However, she offered me one of those old school ones, the green and red metal ones. I obviously took it! For me, that's a score! I LOVE old school stuff that brings back memories. It's practically brand new too. Doesn't look like it was ever used lol. I LOVE IT! Thanks, Jill! Aside from that, you're an awesome person and I was glad to meet you. They loaded the tree to the roof of my car and I was off. From beginning to end, this experience was the best!! I found my new tradition. I will always go back here and always refer people to them. Seriously, Yelpers, I left there with a huge smile on my face. Not one person was negative or "worn out from dealing with the public" Again, pricing is reasonable in a world where trees are WAY overpriced. I'll never understand places in NY and ID...who have Christmas trees growing everywhere...how these people charge what they do..the Tree lots. That's why Darling's is great. Even better if they stay at that pricing. Whole experience MAKES it Christmas. Like I said, there's not one bad thing I can say about this place. Loved them and I'll be back every time I'm home for Christmas :) ...which is usually every year lol. Merry Christmas everyone! Happy New Year! Thank you, Darling's for being so wonderful to me. It'll never be forgotten:) Cheers! Edit: gonna try to attach a pic of the tree I bought from these guys :) read more

My little cut yourself tree was $50!!!!!!!!! Admittedly the care they take at this tree farm is noticeable. We had a hard time deciding which tree we wanted. This is an annual event for us and this was our first time at Darling's. The drive was lovely. We were offered a saw and a slide to pull our tree back to be bundled for transport. When the guy told me my tree would be $50 I almost shit. If I knew my Fraser Fir would be that much I would have opted for a fuller, taller tree. There are no advertised prices anywhere which bugged me when I arrived. There was no one to ask what the prices were either. I will be decorating this baby tonight but I was disappointed in the pricing and lack of communication. read more

Love the hometown feel you get here. It's family owned and run. And to top it of they always support the troops every year, it's so nice to see so many people come together at Christmas to think of those who can't be home because they are serving our great country. Thank you!!!! read more

Can't ask for a nicer staff and experience. Trees are 50-60 but they are the nicest trees I have ever seen and the staff does a lot for local groups and sends tons of trees over seas to our military read more
