Kevin Veinotte’s U-Cut Xmas Tree Farm
Region: Lunenburg Region
Kevin’s U-Cut is located in West Northfield, Nova Scotia. They are approximately 10 minutes from Bridgewater and about 1 hour from Halifax. They grow traditional balsam fir Christmas trees on their mixed family farm. Christmas trees, as with other farm products, are grown without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Visitors can choose a tree (several thousand to choose from) cut and bring it to the road then go to the camp for hot chocolate and warm up by the fire. While you warm up by the fire, they will gather and bale your tree and place it by your vehicle - ready for the trip home. When you are ready to leave the camp a wagon will bring you back to your vehicle after a short ride thru the woodlot.
Easy to find - Directions to the U-Cut: Take Exit 12 on Highway 103, turn right (away from the town of Bridgewater) and proceed north on Trunk 10 toward New Germany. Go 6.5 km and turn right on Mossman Road (just past the Turkey Burger restaurant) in West Northfield. Follow the red arrows on the Mossman Road to the tree lot. The u-cut’s civic address is 464 Mossman Station Road, West Northfield.
