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 San Francisco and San Mateo County, 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 San Francisco and San Mateo County, 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!

  A visitor writes on November 28, 2010: "We went to Project 90.  Their trees are in water.  Their trees were much nicer and healthier than at Steves and were displayed better so that you could see the entire tree.  The 5 to 6 foot trees were the same price as at Steves ($55) but the bigger 7 to 8 trees were more expensive.  Given the vastly superior quality of the trees the differential in price was worth it.   We got a fabulous tree there- very healthy and a vigorous  fresh scent.: ":
