Harvest Your Own Trees

The Rocks Estate, Bethlehem, NH

Hours:
November 17th 2007 - December 24th 2007
Open every day 9am - 5pm
Sunday Afternoons 2-5 pm is Locals Day. Discounts on Trees for Local Residents!

Join us for our Christmas festivities. During the holiday season, the farm has been described by visitors as a "Norman Rockwell Christmas" experience, with four teams of horses and their harnesses jingling set the ambiance for the holiday celebration. Local volunteer groups help with tree sales and a choir set the tone on several of the days.
You can select a freshly cut tree or enjoy the experience of harvesting your own in our scenic fields. We can help you cut the tree or leave it up to you. Once chosen, your tree is transported to the tree baler where we wrap and then tie your tree onto your vehicle free of charge. The local booster club supplies the food and you can warm up around the marshmallow pit while singing Christmas carols. Visit our New Hampshire crafts fair and do your holiday shopping.
We take pride in what we offer:
· A family atmosphere.
· Top quality trees.
· Courteous service—from help cutting and dragging your tree to tying it on your vehicle.
· Free horse-drawn wagon rides, reserved for package customers up until Sunday at 2pm.
· Free tree wrapping.
· Uniquely designed wreaths.
· Scenic turn-of-the-century country estate.
· The knowledge that you are helping to support conservation education in the Granite State.

Bethlehem's Christmas Stamp
A Unique Touch for Your Holiday Cards

Originally named Lloyd's Hills in 1774, the little White Mountain town of Bethlehem NH was incorporated with it's current name on the last Christmas Day of the 18th century. With that in mind, it's rather fitting that today's Bethlehem has a myriad of holiday festivities throughout the winter months. With two cut-your own Christmas tree farms, craft fairs, tree-lighting ceremonies and sleigh rides, the tiny community comes alive during the holiday season.
Perhaps most unique of the holiday traditions offered by Bethlehem is the hand-cancelling of Christmas cards. This rural Post Office estimates it handles over 56,000 Christmas cards from all over the world each year.
If you would like to add more flair to your Christmas greetings, there are two ways to go about it; bring the cards yourself or send them in. Multiple hand cancellation stamps are available for your use in the Post Office's main lobby, shortly after Thanksgiving each year.
If you are unable to bring your cards to Bethlehem yourself, simply address, seal and place postage stamps on the envelopes containing your greetings and place them in a larger envelope. Send this envelope to the attention of "Christmas Re-Mailing", Bethlehem Post Office, Bethlehem, NH 03574. To ensure delivery in time for Christmas, your items should be received no later than December 15th.
