Tree Farm Hours was created by the staff at The Redwood News. We live here in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and Christmas tree season is one of our favorite times of year up here.
These mountains are home to a wonderful group of tree farms, many of them family-run for decades. They spend all year planting, pruning and caring for their trees, all for a few busy weeks each winter. We made this site to support them, and to make it easy to find the right farm, whether you live just down the road or you’re driving up from the city for the day.
To the farm owners: thank you for all you do. If anything here needs updating, or you’d like to share more about your farm, please let us know.
And to neighbors and visitors alike: if you have something to add, or just want to chat about trees, we’d love to hear from you.
