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 Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Kern Counties, California'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! I'm always looking for more to add, and to correct any inaccuracies or errors, so if you encounter any,
please email me!
Tips:
- If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
- ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO 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 I have no way of knowing, because I can't call or visit every farm every month, let alone every day. 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 OR EMAIL!
- And please tell the farmer you visit in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Kern Counties, California 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!

Comment from a visitor: "Keith the owner and all his staff
provided Customer Service Excellence. They ensured we had a tree that would
work for us, and made sure we were completely satisfied with the look and
feel of the tree. They went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied
customers last year and that is why we returned to them this year. They did
another great job this year to ensure we return again next year. Consistent,
quality and value based service is what you receive at MacGregors Christmas
