Miller Tree Farm in Durham and Fairview Tree Farm in Shelton. They are listed because people look for them by name, and each card says what the farm has published so far.

How these were checked

Every farm here was read on its own website or Facebook page, and each card quotes the farm’s words and carries the date it was checked; cards updated from a farm’s own email say so. Where a farm states its opening as a rule — “the day after Thanksgiving” — or prints a day with no year, the card gives the 2026 date that rule makes and says so.

This page covers Fairfield and New Haven counties and the shoreline. Directories and news roundups were used only to find farms, never for a date or a price.
