My family and I after looking at their website decided to go look for a Christmas tree at Houde's…read more We had never been there before, it was close and seemed like a nice place. When we first pulled in it looked busy not much parking. When we got closer it was more like a junk yard than a tree farm. It was riddled with old tires, snowblowers and tractor parts. When I asked where they cut your own trees where I was blankly told "Anywhere we got like 30 acres" the trees were scarce and scattered among the property not much of a selection. The grounds were not well maintained and filled with thick vines,brush and pricker bushes. My mother in-law actually took quite the fall due to the amount of over growth! We walked around for a bit to find quite literally nothing! Then we made our way up front to see their selection of pre-cut trees only to find they get them from Canada, and charge double the price of the trees on their farm. Needless to say we will not be returning to Houde's anytime soon. We ended up leaving and going to Frommer's in Lancaster they had a beautiful selection of reasonably priced Christmas trees!

The most expensive place to buy your tree, but their trees are the best, obviously well tended to…read morethroughout the year. We've tried other places but keep coming back to Ellsworth. Although they provide saws if you want to cut your own, their helpful staff will cheerfully cut the tree for you, shake and bail it, and tie it to the roof of your car. If you put the tree in water as soon as you get home, a tree you buy the day after Thanksgiving will still be going well by New Years. They only accept cash, so bring plenty of it.

We have been going here for trees for years, and while their trees tended to be pricier than other…read moreplaces, the trees were nice and the staff friendly and helpful. This year was a shock, though. $180-$200 for a 7-foot Fraser Fir? and an additional #2 to shake and wrap? That is a bit much but since we were there we went ahead. Next year, though, we will need to find a different place.

After years of using some tried and true Christmas tree farms in Massachusetts, we found ourselves…read morein dire straights this year. A friend stumbled across the website for this tree farm and let us in on his secret find. The farm apparently has been around for 20 years though it is new to us. The sign and entrance are not all that visible from the main street and Waze has the location off slightly, but after traveling down the winding drive you're treated to an expansive view of Christmas trees dotting a bucolic farm that abuts stabled horses and broad open fields. The owners are extremely accommodating and quite proud of the variety of trees they grow. Compared to the average tree farm, it does appear that Riverwind has a much broader variety including an interesting Turkish fir tree that is very full and composed of rich, deep green colored needles. My family and I had a lot of fun walking along the various fields including crossing a small river to reach the most remote areas of the farm. The trees are not on top of each other like at other farms and there are a variety of sizes available from as short as 5 feet to his tall is 15 feet. Only tagged trees are available for purchase and the prices weren't cheap but were by and large on par with other tree farms. The sales hut has handmade and manufactured Christmas ornaments. Homemade wreaths and greens are available as well. In addition there was free hot chocolate, hot cider, and cookies for the kids. The staff have all-terrain vehicles available that I think could be used to help haul your tree if you are unable to use the hand wagons they provide. Saws are also supplied if you don't bring your own. The staff provide complementary tree trimming, shaking and netting and will bring your tree to your car. I'm not certain they'll actually secure it to your car though since I had brought my own straps and did it myself. The owners pay close attention to details with the netting being green and red in color as opposed to the standard orange. I almost regret writing this post as I figure the masses will learn of this great farm and we'll be on the hunt again next year for a new Christmas tree source. Finally, there were some ready cut trees available for those who can't find their ideal tree or don't wish to cut their own.

Friendly, professional, and Connor was super nice to our 3-year old and extremely efficient. He was…read moreknowledgeable and helped us find a tree that fit all or our criteria. He even helped us get it into our car (and was ready to tie it onto our roof). Parking is across the street and he was not hesitant to offer to lug the tree across the busy street for us, all "part of the service." Highly recommend!

I gave this 3 dollar signs (pricey) but worth it if you care about your tree.

RATING -3.5 The…read moreSnowport Tree Market is super convenient for people who live nearby. They have a decent selection of trees and they also deliver. In addition, they sell tree stands and lights. We walked into the tree lot and gladly helped ourselves. The tree prices are both online and on a chalkboard up front. Before you pick out your tree, I recommend you look at the prices so you're not sticker shocked like me when you go to pay. I get that things are more expensive these days but I was not expecting to pay $230 bucks for a tree that measures at 7 feet tall because they're counting the trunk of the tree (1 foot). Maybe this is common? I don't know - enlighten me! Anyways, I am happy we got our tree and I know I will love to have it in our space. But if you're not looking to lay down a a decent amount, you might want to explore your options. If you're looking for convenience and you're ok with the prices, this place is for you. Happy tree hunting!

I noticed this year they are selling timed entry tickets because it's been getting more and more packed every year. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was manageable on day 1. The selection of shops they have this year is GREAT. I noticed a few more local vendors which is what I had envisioned all along. One of their new vendors is Curio Spice from Cambridge and I was thrilled to see it. I stopped by a Malaysian sauce shop too and even had some samples. They were all so tasty that I ended up buying something for myself and a friend. The shop run by a Cat Cafe in New York was super cute. A great place to shop for all cat lovers in your life. I ended up getting some cute socks for my friend's birthday. Not sure if this is new this year, but I even saw a crafting corner. Looked super cute and fun. I couldnt find a place that I had visited before - a chocolate shop--Chequesset Chocolates I think, so I stopped by the informational booth. The person who was working took time to help me and was super friendly. This year I didnt have any of the food but the area was filled with people who looked like they were enjoying their snacks and cocktails. Overall, the vibe was great - the music they play is a nice touch. I would def recommend the Seaport Holiday Market to people who dont mind dealing with crowds and who are willing to dish out some money. You can find some things that are reasonably priced for sure but a lot of it is a bit more than expected. A tip: I noticed they have a bunch of porta potties. That is not my vibe so if you're like me, there are a number of public restrooms within 5 min walking distance from the Holiday Market. One is at the new Amazon building next to Lakon Patisserie and another is in the office building next to Tatte. Happy shopping!
