Fall Foliage and Christmas Trees at The Rocks

Looking for a fun fall foliage excursion? Thinking ahead to the holiday season and want to get started on your holiday prep? You'll find all that and more at The Rocks Estate this fall!

The Rocks will be open weekends from October 3^rd - October 18^th for tag-your-own Christmas tree seekers, holiday shopping, and – of course – enjoying the annual autumnal burst of color.

The Rocks' Christmas tree fields and gift shops will be open Saturdays and Sundays, October 3^rd -October 18^th, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tree-taggers should bring their own decorations and some personal flair to “tag” their perfect tree in the field. Ornaments, ribbons, streamers: it’s all great for reserving your favorite tree until cutting time. These early birds may return once The Rocks opens for the winter season to cut and purchase tagged trees. (The Rocks will be open daily, except Thanksgiving Day, from Nov. 21-Dec. 24.)

The Rocks will again run a Facebook contest, where tree taggers are invited to post photos of their tagged trees, then vote on a favorite. The photo with the most votes will earn its taggers a free tree.  

Both The Rocks Marketplace and the Gift Shop will be open to shoppers during tag-your-own weekends. The Gift Shop shelves are loaded with Rocks maple syrup, ornaments, decorations, and tee-shirts. The Marketplace is filled with an array of locally-crafted and U.S.A-made items, from home goods and holiday decorations to hand-made soaps and loads of Christmas ornaments. New this year are a collection of crafting kits for children, created by New Hampshire company Harrisville Designs, as well as several lines of locally-crafted jewelry. Other offerings by local crafters and artisans extend from chocolates and preserves to handmade soaps and pottery.

Columbus Day Weekend (October 10-12), The Rocks will also host an Apple Cider Celebration, featuring cider-making, horse-drawn wagon rides through the farm, and an apple tree pruning program. (Check our online calendar, or stay tuned here for more details!)

Visit The Rocks this fall to take in the colors, find a perfect Christmas tree, and enjoy the holiday spirit that permeates the air year-round on Christmas Lane!

Online shopping - farm fresh trees, wreaths and more!

At The Rocks Estate, Christmas is always on our minds. If the holidays are on your mind, too, we invite you to let the season begin – by browsing our online shop.

We’re already accepting orders on farm fresh Christmas trees, handmade wreaths, and everything else you’ll need to deck the halls this holiday season, from ornaments and fragrant garland to tree stands and wreath hangers. Order your beautiful farm grown Christmas tree now, and we’ll deliver it whenever you wish, from mid-November to mid-December.

We’ve recently redesigned our online shop to make it easier than ever to place your order for the holidays. Our new shop features a streamlined checkout process, wish list feature, and additional shipping options. And for all you smart phone and tablet users, we’ve added a mobile shopping option, too.

To see one of our wreath makers at work, visit The Rocks YouTube page for a wreath making video. You’ll also be able to watch Rocks Estate manager Nigel Manley tag trees in the field to prepare for mail order shipments.

The Rocks is also open weekends from now through October 16^th for folks who’d like to visit the farm in person to tag a tree now and return closer to Christmas to harvest that tree. We open for the regular Christmas tree season November 19^th.

We hope to see you – online or at the farm – this holiday season!
