Eastern Idaho Christmas Tree Farms 2024

Whether you want to cut your own tree, pick a live tree and have it cut for you, buy a tree already cut or buy a living tree you can plant, this page provides detailed listings of Eastern Idaho's choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, places to buy pre-cut (also called pre-harvested and fresh-cut) trees, stands, sleigh rides, hay rides and related winter events and fun. Some listings are for tree farms, others are tree lots, and some only offer hay rides, sleigh rides or other winter events. READ EACH LISTING to know what each facility offers. The farms are listed further down this page, so scroll down the page! Since this service is free and open to ALL Christmas tree farms, not just those who belong to an association or pay for an ad, like almost all other websites do, this is the most complete and current listing available! Help me keep this page complete and up to date, by reporting any corrections needed or suggesting farms to add!

Tips:

• If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website or Facebook page. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
• ALWAYS email or call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO - many farms have closed in the past year, and of course, we won't know until the season starts and we find they aren't open! Call to confirm their supply, their hours and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available. All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here !
  DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!
• And please tell the farmer you visit in Eastern Idaho that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

Updates for December 2024

December 2024: Tree supplies are looking good, but expect prices to be up again, maybe 5% this year. It's always smart to get to the tree farm early and tag or reserve your tree, if they allow it. Many tree farms allow tagging starting in mid-November.

And next Spring, you'll want to take your children to a free Easter egg hunt - see our companion website to find a local Easter Egg hunt - (www.EasterEggHuntsAndEasterEvents.org) . It's the ONLY website that is updated every Easter for all Easter Egg hunts in the U.S.

• Dixie National Forest Christmas Tree Cutting Permits - Christmas trees- you choose and you cut,
  Caribou-Targhee National Forest, Idaho Falls, ID 83401. Phone: Marcia Gilles (435) 865-3730. This year unplug the family from electronics and take a walk in the woods to cut your Christmas tree on the Dixie National Forest. For many this annual tradition of Christmas tree cutting conjures up images of kids bundled in snowsuits while sipping on hot chocolate as the family locates the perfect tree to fill their home with the fresh smell of pine. Whether tree cutting is already a family tradition or you are ready to start a new tradition of cutting the Christmas tree on the Dixie National Forest, you will need to obtain a permit. Permits for trees up to ten feet can be purchased for (Prices may have changed!) $10, and permits for trees above ten feet can be purchased for $20. "Receipts from this special forest program go back into a local fund that directly benefits recreation users on the Dixie National Forest," said Dixie National Forest Public Affairs Officer, Marcia Gilles. Need more incentive to get the family out and cut a tree? In support of the national Every Kid in a Park initiative, the Dixie National Forest will offer one free Christmas tree cutting permit to fourth graders who present a valid paper or durable Every Kid in a Park pass. The limited number of free permits are good for trees under 12-feet and the fourth grader must be present with the parent at the time the permit is issued. The Every Kid in a Park pass can be obtained at www.EveryKidinaPark.gov. Print out the voucher and bring into any Dixie National Forest office location (vendors are not participants) for the free tree permit.
  Special regulations dictate what types of trees can be cut in different areas of the forest. "For instance, on Cedar Mountain it is legal to cut white fir, subalpine fir, pinion, and juniper. On the Powell and Escalante Ranger Districts, all tree species except bristlecone pine can be taken," said Gilles.
  Permits are available at all Dixie National Forest Offices - St. George, Cedar City, Panguitch and Escalante - and through partner vendors, including, Ace Hardware in Cedar City, Boulder Exchange in Boulder, Clarke's Market in Tropic, Antimony Merc in Antimony, Cottam's Canyon Country in Escalante, DASIA at St. George Interagency Office, and Veyo Mercantile in Veyo. However, the 4th grade free tree permits are only available at Forest offices and the Interagency Visitor Center in St. George.
