Austin’s Tree Farm

Picking out a Christmas tree turns into an outing at Austin’s Tree Farm in Fulton, the Oswego County city on the Oswego River. For families around town, choosing the holiday tree is part of how the season gets started, and a local farm makes it feel like a tradition rather than an errand.

Tree farms follow the calendar, so this is a late-fall and December stop rather than a year-round one. Part shop and part family outing, it suits anyone who would rather choose a tree in person, bundled up against the cold, than grab one from a store lot.

What to Know

• Christmas trees are a seasonal purchase, so plan a visit for the weeks leading up to the holiday.
• Visit Oswego County features the farm among its area attractions and activities.
• Fulton sits on the Oswego River, a short drive from Lake Ontario and the city of Oswego.
