Carpenter Tree Farm is only 15 minutes north of Bangor and is open Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The family-run farm will even lend you a saw to cut your tree and a sled to bring it back to the store. They'll even put it in a net for you so it's easier to transport home. Before you go, though, make sure to grab some cider. Sometimes, finding the perfect tree can take a while (especially with so many to choose from), and it's getting pretty chilly out there.
