Christmas Ranch Tree Farms

We had an awesome time picking out our tree. Everyone here is so friendly & helpful! They have a great variety of trees to chose from, all shapes & sizes. It was hard to pick! We went to the one in Simi Valley, close proximity to the freeways.

Great little place with the freshest trees at very reasonable prices. The tree lot is in the middle of Pederson St right in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Everyone seems really nice and in good spirits. The place is nicely decorated and has a very nice and pleasant feeling to it. It’s quaint. The team was friendly and really helpful. We bought a grand fir for $ 47 and the needles were so soft and the smell was amazing. So so pretty. They also gave our little guy a coloring book which he was super excited about. We bought a really nicely done garland for $ 3. We would have never known about this place had it not been for Unilocal.Glad we came here. It was our first visit here and we will be back!

Yay! How could you not love a place that lets you cut down your own Christmas tree!!! This place was so cool. There was such a big range of trees on two enormous fields. We went with another couple, which was a very fun little double date. The hubs and I always get noble firs, which weren’t available for chopping. They did have fresh cut trees, so we decided to get a fresh cut noble, because we still got to help our friends chop down a tree. The fresh cut noble was probably $ 20 more than we would’ve spent at a grocery store or Home Depot, but we wanted to support this great place! It was fun to chop down a tree with our friends. Fun pics, fun times. The service was a little sparse, but hey, it’s Christmas, no rush here!

Our usual tree farm had three-​foot high trees this year. Not sure what was going on there. So we found this location as an alternative.
It’s a tree farm grown underneath power lines. It’s a good use for land because living and working underneath power lines is notorious albeit perhaps unproven to cause health problems, including potentially cancer. However, shopping at this tree farm on a Saturday didn’t seem to affect us, didn’t affect us or cause any effects, effectively, no effects, without affection. In other words, wee seam too bee fhyne.
Anyway, they were doing nonstop business the second to last weekend before Christmas. Folks were driving their vehicles up, affixing trees to their vehicles, and then going home with what appeared to be smiles or general delight on their faces
We went up the hill looking for a beautiful tree to become a family member from the moment we decorated the tree with care and placed it on an elevated perch in the center of our living room where we admired it and gave it frequent water to keep it healthy to the few days after Christmas when we tore it down, chopped it up and left it at the curb for the sanitation department.
The tree farm offered a variety of pines: Douglas fir and Noble are probably the ones we saw. Not sure, not a pine tree expert.
Like a modern day Paul Bunyon, I chopped down the mightiest tree using a borrowed bow saw. The forrest’s tallest tree, or a delightful looking six-​footer that we knew would fit comfortably in our home, was ours for the taking.
Once the tree was smote and conquered, I grabbed the tree by the base, swung it about and delicately put it on the metal frame wheelbarrow to take it back to the entry shack.
At the shack/​register, they offered an assortment of services including tree shaking from a machine, netting and a base. Coffee was another option. We had a kind young man, probably from a local high school, help us trim the base and net the tree.
He probably spent about 20 minutes tying the tree to the roof. He used a lot of twine and anchored it primarily on one side of our vehicle. He pulled and pushed on it, left and came back with more twine. I helped however I could. I appreciated the care he put into it and tipped him generously when he was done.
Unfortunately, on our way home on the 23 and 101 freeways, the tree started to drift. It started to move to one side of the car as we could tell by seeing it through our sunroof. This was most unfortunate. My wife was concerned. It was slightly windy but here we were about to dump a Christmas tree on the 101 freeway. While the local radio sig alert notifications would have a fun time reporting a fir on the freeway, CHP and the people in the high-​end vehicles behind us wouldn’t find it so amusing.
My wife had me hold the tree through the sunroof for assurance and so it wouldn’t drift too far. We had to take streets. My shoulder hurt for a while and I noted that I may need arthroscopic shoulder or Tommy John surgery after holding the tree for miles.
I don’t blame the kind young man who tied the tree to the roof. But lesson learned — one is responsible for securing one’s tree on one’s roof.
We’ll probably return to this tree farm next year. And tie our own tree to our vehicle’s roof.

So I love to cut my own Xmas tree and so does my son. We have come here for a few years and each year it gets a little worse. The selection is going down hill fast. ANd the worst part is they are now planting some kind of Xmas tree knockoff. Its like a weird shrub but shaped like a tree. The prices is already pretty high and when I asked them to rise off the tree with the hose right there at their feet they looked at me like I was crazy.

There aren’t many places in LA where you can go and cut down your own Christmas Tree. The Christmas Ranch Tree Farms offers lots of options. They have pre-​cut christmas trees in the very front, and then on both sides of the road you can wander the «forest» and find your perfect tree! The staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. They will shake and net your tree for $ 2 each, totally worth it. We cut our tree (under 9 feet), had it shaken and netted, and purchased a stand all for $ 65.

I grew up in TO and never knew there was a tree farm to get Christmas trees. I was pretty excited to go with my husband and young daughter to pick out a tree, but was pretty disappointed once we arrived. There was a very long line to get help. People were just wandering around aimlessly and it was hard to find anyone to help you. Also, it’s not very safe for young kids… saws laying on the ground, tree stands with metal spikes sitting on the ground. Plus, it’s literally right next to the freeway, so it’s not really the ambience you think of when you hear «Christmas Tree Farm» We ended up leaving and buying a tree at a regular tree lot. We probably won’t be going back.

This is our go-​to place to find a tree in the Conejo Valley. It’s fun to cut down your own, and because they’re fresh, they never dry out before Christmas.
Trees under nine feet are $ 45.58, or over nine feet they’re $ 65.00. You can find a coupon on their website for $ 2 off.
They have some unusual varieties that are really beautiful. Unfortunately, no on who was working at the time was able to tell me the species.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful, and they’ll carry your tree to your car and tie it down for you.
Twine is free, as are coffee, cider, and hot chocolate. They have wreaths, garland, mistletoe, and water additive available for purchase. Saws and wheeled carts to transport your tree are provided.

We have been to Christmas Ranch Tree Farms for past 2 years and the service, prices and selection have been all excellent. You have choice to cut your own tree or pick one out already cut. The Cut Your Own is limited to certain types of trees. If you are looking for the Noble or Fraser, those are only available already cut as they are regularly shipped from Oregon and Washington.
There is pretty good selection of freshly cut trees as well. You will pay according to size and believe me, they are very well priced. Price for 6 – 7 foot Noble is $ 59.95!
The employees are so nice and helpful. There is free candy canes and hot chocolate for kids!
We also got fresh cut wreath for $ 26 and already decorated. If you bring your stand they will place on for a small fee.
They also charge $ 2 to shake tree well worth it! They also rope up tree for you on car! The guy who helped us got a well deserved tip from his assistance from start to finsh! Its a little off beaten path and there are no big signs, but worth it all the way! From start to finish, we found perfect tree and were out the door in 10 minutes!
