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 Kansas City and west-central Missouri'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 Kansas City and west-central Missouri 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!

Directions: We are just East on 92 Highway from Exit 18 off Interstate 29. Go east about a mile and a half. Watch for a WATER TOWER on your left, the pond, a tree swing, a flagpole, and our new street sign on our farm. See our location on Google Maps* with an aerial view.The farm is just south of the water tower and east of the pond on the aerial map. Our listed street address (marked “B” on the Google Map provided) does not sync with Google’s map pointers at this time, so please use the explicit map directions linked above, created with geo-survey data which brings you to our door from I-29. Karbaumer Farm is a small farm powered by draft horses. We use no tractors. We use no chemicals in our gardens or pastures. We farm organically.  Klaus and two of our huge Belgian draft horses will show you the countryside! Klaus is Bavarian-born and came to America in 1991. He’ll entertain you with his observations of American life and enlighten you about the use of horses in our farming history. You’ll marvel at the command he has of these magnificent workers with just the slightest movement of his fingers on the harness lines. Our horses—Charlie, Beau and Norman—are up to eighteen hands tall and weigh over a ton each. Their shoes are as big as dinner plates! Ride on a farm wagon full of hay bales or a lovely buggy with benches for six. Smell the sweet hay—and maybe the horses just a little. If there’s a new blanket of snow on the ground you’ll experience the silence of a winter day broken by the clink-clink of the harness rings and the clop-clop of the horses’ hooves. The horses are hitched up for farm and garden work in all seasons. Choose your season for an unforgettable wagon ride. When you come to Karbaumer Farm for a wagon ride—whatever the season—have a bonfire and picnic in a small grove of trees right on the farm. There’s even a bandstand if you’d like to bring a band along to entertain your group. Try fishing for your supper in our small farm pond or just row out to the middle and feed the fish their supper instead. Call or e-mail for prices, planning and trail conditions. (ADDED: November 11, 2011)
