A tagged tree in the field |
At
The Rocks Estate, we believe it’s never too early to start thinking about – and
planning for – the winter holidays! On that note, we open this weekend for Tag-Your-Own tree festivities, complete with early holiday shopping, Christmas tree
tagging, and the North Country’s magnificent fall foliage.
Once
again, The Rocks will be open to Tag-Your-Own tree seekers autumn weekends,
from September 28 & 29 through October 19 & 20. Visitors are invited to
roam the fields at The Rocks in search of the perfect Christmas tree, “tag” it
with their own decorations and personal flair, and return when we open for the
traditional holiday season (November 23-December 24) to cut and purchase their
tagged trees.

Both
the Marketplace at The Rocks and The Rocks Farm Store will be open during Tag-Your-Own weekends, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Shoppers are sure to find gifts for
everyone on their “Nice” list, as well as festive decorations for the holidays.
The shops feature an array of U.S.-made, locally-crafted, and Fair Trade items,
from hand-painted ornaments and balsam-inspired soaps and candles to local jams
and jellies and The Rocks’ own maple syrup.
Autumn
is a beautiful time to visit The Rocks and take in the kaleidoscopic colors of
the surrounding landscape. Beyond Tag Your Own tree seeking and getting a jump
on holiday shopping, autumn at The Rocks is a great time to check out the New Hampshire Maple Experience, wander our
extensive trails system, and learn more
about The Rocks by taking a self-guided Mobile Tour of this picturesque
property owned and maintained by the Society for the Protection of NewHampshire Forests.
