We went out to Levy's Christmas Tree U-pick on route 14 (Chester to Windsor) today to get a tree. After hiking back through their lot for a ways and finding all the best trees at the back, I went back to ask if it would be ok to take the Jeep in. They had no problems with this as long as I stayed on the roads (and not go in the swamp when turning around) and went slow.
Now, this was not off-roading to the extreme, but it as not a "road" that a non-4x4 could drive (nothing over lots of 6" rocks and ruts), but it was a blast to see all the other people's faces as we drove past while they carried their trees back to their sport utilitys and 4x4 turcks (about 80 percent of the vehicles in the parking lot).
Prices are good ($16 for our very full 8' tree), the Levy's are very nice. They supply bucksaws and measuring poles and have hot chocolate in the camp.
If you are interested, take the 103 to exit 8, head towards Windsor for around 14km and turn left on Sherwood Road (not Sherwood Forest Road!!), go down the road about 1.5km and turn left at the Christmas tree shaped sign.
