Christmas Tree Season 2019


We are now open for our 12th year as we bring in the 2019 Christmas Tree Season.

We are open on Black Friday (11/29), and all Saturdays and Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas (11/30, 12/1, 12/7, 12/8, 12/14, 12/15, 12/21, 12/22).  We open at 10am and close at dark.

We sell naturally grown noble firs.  This means they are unsheared, untrimmed, and unsprayed.  This also means they have more space between the branches and the general irregularities that come from growing among other plants and animals.  Our supply is thin, similar to the last couple years, and  many people do not find what they are looking for, but when we walk around the farm we find so many trees that we think are beautiful to harvest this Christmas, with all the character that comes with an naturally grown Noble Fir, or wild Douglas Fir.

Please be aware that the grounds are a little rougher this year than usual. This means more blackberries and uneven footing, so you'll want to wear boots, have gloves, and be mindful of where you step.  If you see a tree you like that is difficult to access, please let us know and we can usually help clear the way.  We are a U-Cut farm but are happy to lend a helping hand as needed.


Our pricing this year is as follows:

U-Cut Christmas Trees:
Nobles up to 6 feet - $40
6 - 8 feet - $45
8 - 10 feet - $50
Add $5 per foot over 10'

Ask about wild Doug firs $10 and up

Fresh Wreaths:
Make your own - $10

We take cash and checks (and sometimes PayPal). 

This year we will be donating to Mental Health America in support of their mission to address the needs of those living with mental illness, and to promote overall mental health.

Please call or email if you have any questions, or read on for a bit more about our farm.



We continue to plant trees every spring.  Hopefully in another few years, many of the little trees that are now just 2 or 3 feet tall will grow to Christmas tree size.  Each one will absorb more than 1 ton of CO2 in its lifetime.  Each acre provides the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people.  Live trees are renewable, keep plastic out of landfills, and conserve the resources used in manufacturing artificial trees.  Growing them naturally and not removing all the ground cover also makes the environment friendly to many animals who make our farm their home.  The rain this summer was an enormous relief from the three previous summers which were very hard on our trees.  You can still see signs of stress from the prolonged heat and dry spells, but the new growth from this year is healthy and green.

And here is a photo from one of our long-time customers of their absolutely gorgeous tree from last year:


We look forward to seeing you and wish you a wonderful holiday season!
