ABOUT MOODY TREE FARM

Serenely situated in the Adirondack Mountains near Saranac Lake, New York the Moody Tree Farm continues a long tradition of growing and selling Balsam Fir Christmas trees. The Moody family has a long history in the Adirondacks, Jacob Moody being the first settler of Saranac Lake and his son Cortez was the first recorded birth in the Adirondack town, Current owners of the Moody Tree Farm are Wesley Moody, great-grandson of Cortez, and Deborah Dupree. Wesley who has been selling Christmas trees since the 1950's and his wife Deborah, along with their children and grandchildren, run the day to day operations of the farm along with their successful landscaping business. When the holiday season hits, everyone chips right in. From cutting and selling trees to making and decorating wreaths or sewing balsam pillows everyone has a job.

The Moody Tree Farm offers the traditional family experience of choosing and cutting your own Christmas tree or high tech internet shopping for their handmade Balsam products, wreaths, garlands, centerpieces, etc. The farm gift shop boosts a one stop shopping experience for the holiday season. In addition to the trees and hand made items, they sell decorations and ornaments (some made locally and some not so locally), lights, tree stands, artificial garlands, etc. Gift giving can be made simple with balsam gift packs including handmade pillows, sachets, hot plates, mug mats or stuffed animals filled with fresh Adirondack Balsam fir. Local Adirondack maple syrup, gift baskets or any of their handmade balsam products make great corporate gifts as well as gifts for family or friends.

If you are looking for exceptionally large wreaths, custom lengths of hand tied garland or mantle pieces just call ahead and place your order. In addition to supplying many of the local businesses and Adirondack camps with trees, custom decorated wreaths, etc.; the Moodys have made wreaths on 12 foot rings for Pier 17 at New York's South Street Seaport and custom heavy garlands for the NY Botanical Garden.

The Moody family welcomes one and all to visit their farm during the holiday season. Children love the farm animals and the homemade cookies, as do most adults. If you cannot visit the farm most items can be ordered on line or via telephone order; they also have a seasonal store and tree lot located next to the Howard Johnsons in Lake Placid.
