Photos with Santa & Mrs Claus
We lucked out again this year! Santa and Mrs. Claus will be visiting Star Hill Family Farm on special days for 2024, and typically some elves and other holiday characters tend to also visit when Santa is around.
Santa said he’s looking forward to meeting all the good boys and girls, and requested you bring your ‘Letters to Santa’ so there’s no chance it can get lost in the mail. He’s also looking forward to pictures, questions, and hearing what you most want this year.

Horse Drawn Wagon or Sleigh Rides
As part of our seasonal Family Christmas Experience, take a tour of Star Hill Family Farm on our horse drawn wagon or sleigh. We have rides leaving every half hour on select days which are booked in advance online. The journey goes throughout the hillside of the farm, with a fireside pit stop for s’mores. We have limited seating, so be sure to book early. Each rider is $10, but Children 2 and under are free and do not need a ticket, but must be secured with a parent or guardian.

Local Christmas Trees & Hand-made Wreaths
Star Hill Family Farm is a family operated tree farm in Portland, CT. Christmas is our favorite time of year and we want buying a tree to be a fun and memorable experience for you and your family. We thank and appreciate the many families making our farm visit their annual family tradition, and the community for inviting us to take part in so many holiday events.
We grow the two most popular Christmas Trees, Balsam fir and Fraser fir, and have various sizes ranging from 2’ to 24’. We hand make all the wreaths each season, offering various sizes, styles, and holiday decor. We have also stocked several tree and wreath accessories for your convenience, as well as carry heavy commercial grade tree stands for larger trees.
