Trees come in sizes from 30 to 45 cm up to 12 metres. You choose the size and the preparation: in a pot, sawn at the base, with a root ball, or with the roots wrapped in a net.

The Geraerts family has been growing Christmas trees in Hapert for over fifty years. The four brothers took over the nursery from their father. The trees are grown in a cycle spread over two and four years, so there are trees available every year. As well as selling to the public, the farm supplies wholesalers in the Netherlands and exports to Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Romania and England.

Christmas tree sales to the public start on 1 December at the farm’s sales point in Hapert. During the season the farm is open Monday to Friday, 9.00 to 17.00. There is wheelchair-accessible parking and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. For larger orders you can request a quote, with transport arranged by the farm or by yourself.
