Thanks to a very generous donor, the Bean Farm in Westwood is giving away the remaining Christmas trees on its tree lot for free, from now through Sunday, December 22nd, announced the Bean Farm this week.
The donors, who are referred to as the Aquino Family, hope that the free Christmas trees make their way into the hands of people who are in need of the assistance in purchasing a tree, but the free trees are available to anyone in need of a tree, explained the Bean Farm in its announcement.
Those interested can simply drop by the Bean Family Farm, and request a donated tree, during daily operating hours. The farm is usually open on weekdays and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00, and is open on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The Bean Farm is located at 711 Clapboardtree Street in Westwood.
Westwood Minute has confirmed the validity of this generous offer. Readers may note that this announcement is not being widely posted on social media by the Bean Farm. This is due to the concern of demand far outstripping supply, explains Chris Bean, who operates the farm.
Thanks to Chris Bean and the Bean Farm for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.

This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
What is the citizen's petition about? I checked the town website, and the only information I could find on town meeting articles was from last year. The public hearing dates for 2026 are posted as February 24-25.
Apparently, you need to submit a public records request through the town's FOIA portal. What a shame, since it should have been posted to the town website upon certification of petition signatures.
Westwood Minute has obtained a copy of the petition and has added a short description of it to the article. A copy of the petition is attached below the article.
