Mystic Country’s Northeast or “Quiet Corner” is home to a plethora of places to cut your own Christmas tree. I consider this one of the area’s unique gifts because the experience can be really fun, “old fashioned” outing.

Walk through acres of perfect trees, enjoy a steaming cup of cocoa, take a hayride and cut your very own tree.  Add a little snow? Heavenly. Combine the trip with lunch or dinner at a local eatery.

All of the below locations are stocked and ready for the season. Call ahead for hours. Believe it or not, these are just a few. By town in Northeast Connecticut:
