Winter Magic in The Berkshires: Christmas Trees, Holiday Events, and New Traditions at Woodlife Farm Market

A Holiday Destination in the Heart of New Lebanon

Each year, Woodlife Farm Market transforms into a cozy, bustling holiday hub. Visitors wander the market with warm mulled cider, holiday cocktails, or hot chocolate in hand. The shelves invite them in with the scent of small-batch pantry staples and the charm of locally made, one-of-a-kind gifts.

But the real magic waits just outside.

Guests step into the winter woods to choose the centerpiece of their season—whether it’s a cut-your-own Christmas tree grown right on the property or a premium pre-cut tree from the curated lot. Woodlife offers three beloved varieties, each selected for fragrance, durability, and shape:

Balsam Fir
A nostalgic classic with that unmistakable Christmas scent, soft needles, and a traditional pyramid shape.

Fraser Fir
A premium option with strong branches that hold heavy ornaments well and excellent needle retention. The two-tone needles create a subtle, beautiful silvery shimmer.

Douglas Fir
Full, lush, and soft to the touch. A great choice for anyone who loves a bushier, storybook holiday silhouette.

Tree-choosing tip: Gently pull on a branch; healthy needles should stay in place. Then lift and tap the base on the ground. If only a few needles fall, you’ve found a great tree.

And then comes something you won’t find at most farms: a taper pin drill, ideal for specialty stands. Whether you bought your tree at Woodlife or elsewhere, the team is happy to drill it for you and help you get it holiday-ready.

Holiday Happenings at Woodlife Farm Market

This season, maybe it’s time for a new tradition. One that gets you outside for a bit. One that supports local makers. One that feels like a deep breath in the middle of December.
Trees and wreaths are going quickly, but there’s still time to bundle up, wander the farm, and let the season unfold the way it’s meant to—slowly, warmly, with people who are happy to see you.

If you need a break from the holiday rush, come by. We’ll have the fire going, something warm to sip, and friendly faces ready to welcome you in.

Come experience winter at Woodlife Farm Market.
