Spread Holiday Cheer with Trees from These Utah Farms
Candy canes filling the shelves, wreaths decorating every door in the neighborhood, and jolly music drifting through the air means one thing: Christmas is on its way! With that comes the important and nostalgic tradition of picking out a tree. Even though decorating an artificial Christmas tree may be convenient, there is something undeniably special about purchasing a real evergreen, and the following eight awesome Christmas tree farms in Utah make that possible.
Evans Family Farm, Lehi, UT
A family-run, locally-owned business, Evans Family Farm aims to provide its customers with the best of every season. And while the farm is especially known for its produce and autumn pumpkins, it is also a great place to buy Christmas trees during the holiday season. If you take your family along with you to pick out the tree, the farm features myriad other attractions to keep the little ones entertained.
Frederico's Christmas Trees, Orem, UT
Frederico’s Christmas trees has a cult following in Utah Valley, and for good reason. The trees are high quality, the customer service is sincere and heart-warming, and the prices aren’t as steep as you’d expect. If you buy one of their trees this year, it’s likely picking out a tree at Frederico’s will become a quintessential family tradition.
Sun River Gardens, Orem, UT
Sun River Gardens is Orem’s top destination for all things yard and home décor. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Sun River’s beautiful, freshly cut Christmas trees sell out quickly. This year, the trees (which include noble fir, balsam fir, grand fir, Fraser fir, white fir) go on sale the day after Thanksgiving.
Peterson Trees, Elk Ridge, UT
What’s better than buying a freshly-cut Christmas tree from someone’s home in a beautiful, mountainside town? If you decide to purchase a tree from Peterson Trees, they’ll make you hot cocoa, provide a warm fire, and give you an awesome spot for a precious family picture. Peterson Trees sells white fir, black balsam, and pinyon pine trees, all in a variety of different sizes.
Willowcreek Tree Farms, Draper, UT
Willowcreek Tree Farms sells a variety of tree species, including Austrian pine, bristlecone pine, Colorado blue spruce, and pinyon pine. The farm’s trees are mostly used for landscaping purposes, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t fair game for the holiday season. In fact, Willowcreek Tree Farms touts itself as one of the best places to buy a beautiful Christmas tree. In addition, if you’re looking for a place to take some Christmas photos with your family, Willowcreek may be the perfect spot.
The Kinlands Language of Life, Riverton, UT
Not to be confused with The Kinlands Language of Life in Riverton, The Kinlands Language of Life is the pinnacle of festive aesthetic and holiday spirit. Any time of the year is a treat at The Kinlands Language of Life, but autumn and winter are undoubtedly the farm’s best seasons. After you pick one of their drool-worthy Christmas trees, enjoy their impressive boutique, which features furniture, home décor, and gourmet gifts.
