Testimonials:
 Harold Bushnell has been buying his grandaughter's Christmas tree since she was born 25 years ago. It's a family tradition!

Thank you for the 5 star review. We look forward to your family visit every year. If you can send us the photos we will post them on
our website to commemorate your 25 year family tradition. — Dave Morin, Owner, Arrowhead Acres
Perfect trees as always. Boots, umbrellas and we found our perfect tree very quickly.
— Donna Evans (Facebook)
I was there today with my family. What a wonderful experience. Your Christmas trees are awesome. It was great to walk around looking to
find the perfect tree. Even though it was sprinkling, the walk in the woods/field was great. Everyone we encountered was helpful, but, a
special thank you to the nicest gentleman who cut our tree for us. I believe his name was Richard; he really seemed to know what he was
doing, had an awesome personality and was all around helpful with the questions I had about where to pick up my tree. He seems like he
really enjoys his job, the customers, and even my golden retriever. Kudos to you for having such nice people working for you.

Approximately 35,000 trees (Balsam, Fraser, and Concolor) grow on the farm. After Thanksgiving, families come to Arrowhead Acres and cut
their own tree or have us cut it for them.
Tree cutting, transportation out of the fields, shaking, drilling, and netting are all provided at no charge. We will place the tree in/on your
vehicle, but our insurance will not allow us to tie the tree down for you. We do provide step stools and baling twine at no charge. Customers
do not need to touch the tree until it arrives at their vehicle or they can do it all, if desired.
— TREE PURCHASE INCLUDES —
- FREE netting
- FREE tree shaking to remove loose needles.
- FREE tree cutting and transportation
- FREE drilling for unique Easy-On/Easy-Off tree stands
|
|
— ALSO AVAILABLE —
- Tree Disposal Bags
$5.00
- Easy On-Off Stands
No
adjustment screws. A couple of hits with a hammer and the tree stand is on straight and secure. Spin the stand counter-clockwise and it is off. A precise machine
drilled hole (we provide at no charge) in the base of the tree is the secret to a perfectly straight installation. A large capacity water bowl is an important feature
of these stands. Ask for a demonstration!
$50 -- up to a 10' Tree

We are the Bushnell family from North Smithfield & Woonsocket, RI.
We've been coming to Arrowhead Acres for our Christmas Trees for nearly 20 years. Tree day has become a yearly tradition for our family. The kids love to
run and find our tree, then enjoy snacks and hot chocolate indoors, visiting the animals, and then get annoyed by my million family picture taking
��.( One of those pictures is normally used for my Christmas card, so I need to get it just right). As our family grows with marriages and kids,
I don't see this tradition ending anytime soon ♥️. Happy holidays and thank you for the years of wonderful memories! Tree day is now my
favorite day is the year. ��

 Thank you so much for the wonderful experience
we had last Christmas in choosing and cutting our Christmas tree at Arrowhead Acres. For decades, we've been cutting our own tree the day after
Thanksgiving. When our regular tree farm closed, we found another place with lovely trees in a beautiful setting. However, their trees tended to
be somewhat dry. With drought conditions so extreme last year, we couldn't find a suitable tree there, so I checked the internet for somewhere
else to look. When I called ahead, the woman at Arrowhead Acres with whom I spoke claimed that their trees were not dry, and she were right. We got a beautiful tree the day after Thanksgiving
that lasted until the Super Bowl without dropping needles. We'll definitely be back this year to choose our tree for Christmas 2017. — Carol, Arlington, MA
P.S. The picture that I've attached doesn't do the
tree justice, but might give you some idea of how the tree looked in our home.
Dear Dave and Vicki,
The words "Thank You" cannot express our family's gratitude! Not only did you open "off season" but you didn't charge us full price for our tree! Our son's leave was complete! We had Thanksgiving, a tree decorating party and Christmas!
Without you this would not have been possible. Sometimes we forget how truly wonderful the world can be. Grateful acts such as yours remind us on a daily basis.
Thank you and have a blessed day — Fred & Jennifer, Kevin & Justin (our soldier)
Dave and Vicki,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2013! Thanks for another year with a
beautiful tree! — Stephanie & Mike B. (August 2011 AAcres wedding)
Thanks for a Great Christmas Tree Gathering Experience!
Hi Dave and Vicki,
Just wanted to thank you for our best Christmas Tree ever... and to send some pix that you can hopefully share with Fred and Cindy who helped us find and
gather our tree (who we fondly named "Henry").
We were the family who had traveled for the "White Pine" but ended up with Henry... And we couldn't have been happier.
Everyone was so friendly and warm and helpful. It was a fantastic afternoon.
Christmas came and went and we didn't have the heart to get rid of Henry. So, we've actually taken down the majority of his branches and
needles and have decided to keep him in our Living Room year round ; ) We thought that after uprooting him after all those years at Arrowhead Acres we owed him a home!

The Christmas tree we bought last November (2010) was amazing. It only just now has started to brown. I never thought a Christmas tree
would last this long haha. We will be sure to buy from you again every year and we will pass this info on to all our friends. — Billy C.
Dear Dave,
We just wanted to thank you for our tree this year. You offered us the Concolor Fir you'd used in your function hall. We loved it! It was a
joy to keep and it meaningfully improved our Christmas. Our two-year-old daughter took every opportunity to show off the tree. I can be a
bit of a humbug; my favorite part of Christmas is usually getting the tree out of the house. This year I was sad to see it go. — Keith, Ann, and Adele
THE CHRISTMAS TREE THAT BECAME
A 2011/2012 HOLIDAY TREE
A customer sent us a photo of the Christmas Tree they cut on Thanksgiving weekend and then redecorated for Valentine's Day and again for
Easter. We have had the photo of the unknown customer's Easter Tree on display in the window of one of our cashier booths for several years.

My wife Vicki thought that was such a great story that she decided to go even further with it. The following is the documentation of what
she did with our tree.
November 12, 2011
(1½ weeks before Thanksgiving)
The Fraser Fir tree was cut here at Arrowhead Acres and placed in our home.
November 19, 2011
The tree was decorated for the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season.

Easter Tree
The moral of this story is: No tree is fresher than the tree you watch being cut at a tree farm, and fresh trees properly cared for will hold
their needles for months. The secret is putting them in water immediately after they are cut and making sure they don't run out of water.
This was an unscientific experiment and we don't recommend that you do this at home. Frankly, I was getting tired of looking at the tree by
Easter, and it was getting quite dry having it indoors for almost 5 months. Note this was a cut tree – not balled in burlap.
