Despite the popularity of artificial Christmas trees, there is still a great demand for the real deal, and also for the experience of hunting down the best family tree each year. There are several farms around Cincinnati that offer this, but if you still need to pick out your Christmas tree, then be sure to visit Bartels Farm in Hamilton this weekend. Many say it is the best Christmas tree farm near Cincinnati and once you’ve visited, you will understand why.

Bartels Farm is a family-run property in Hamilton, located between Oxford and Trenton. It’s a bit off the beaten path from Cincinnati, but totally worth the drive to track down the ultimate Christmas tree for your family.

The rows and rows of trees are quite the sight to take in and surely include the tree you’re looking for. When you arrive at the farm, you’ll be greeted by a member of the family and given a map of the farm. If you’ve been to other tree farms where you’ve felt a little confused or unsure of how things work, you will not experience that here.

A fun-filled wagon ride will take you out to the trees, where you’ll be able to work as a family to find the right one. Be sure to dress appropriately and be prepared to get a little muddy, as it is a working farm.
