Evergreen Valley Christmas Tree Farm

My brother worked seasonally at Evergreen Christmas Tree Farm in high school. He didn’t stay past the first holiday season because one of his friends told him that someone at the front desk had pocketed some of his tips and lied about it. Aside from that and a few other bad instances, my family still went for our tree there because of its proximity to us.
This past weekend we picked out a tree and was helped out by a teenaged worker, new to the farm, who cut it down and tagged it for us. He told us one of a few tractors coming through would come by the road he left it by. The driver would load up its bed with trees to bring to the netting machine, where it’s netted then given to customers.
After waiting over an hour at the netting machine and hearing others complain about their trees missing just as long, my dad and brother trekked back up to the field and found our tree in the exact same spot it was cut down, along with another few trees down the row that went unnoticed. We picked it up ourselves and began carrying it down the road to the exit when an older employee driving a tractor went by. My dad asked why our tree hadn’t been taken in over an hour and the guy responded that it wasn’t his fault that we «bought a tree on the busiest day of the year.» My dad told him the system they were trying to run sucked, and the man immediately called my dad a handful of slurs in front of a family and told us to fight him. They turned down the offer.
They finally got down to the exit and my dad went to the owner to tell him what happened. He waved off my dad and said «I don’t have time for this.» My dad insisted until the owner condescendingly asked what HE did for a living, so he could know how to judge him. He then told my dad that he could afford to lose a few customers. He was dismissive until we left.
Getting a tree is probably some families’ favorite Christmas tradition. Not once when my brother was working there would he do anything to upset that tradition for any single customer, let alone respond to an issue by cursing out someone and inciting a fight. That’s probably the bare minimum to ask someone who’s working retail.
If you haven’t gotten a tree yet I encourage you to go anywhere else if want to cut down your odds of being treated like an asshole for someone else’s faults.

I never write many reviews on Unilocal but this deserves to be said. Place is beautiful and my family and I had great time picking a tree until we got to part of bringing tree home. The tree needed to be straightened at bottom. I asked nicely if that can be done which I was told would not be a problem. The person who helped was owner (older white male).He ended up cutting about 4 inches from bottom, not sure why. I the asked to see tree again which he did. It had wholes and was very short. I paid $ 50 for tree, not cheap. I told him I wanted another one which his reply was something to effect, take it and leave you are hardest customer I ever had. Not sure how I was being difficult. He must not need business. I seriously was speechless. Do not give this guy another dollar. There are so many other places in area. My daughter was so upset she cried the whole way. Merry xmas asshole.

First review I’ve ever written about a business — That’s how impressed my wife and I were with our experience here. Great people and great selection. If you can’t find your perfect tree here, you didn’t look! (lots of compliments on ours this year) Also, they have a nice program for trees for vets earlier in the season than when we were there — will have to go earlier next year. Again, great experience all around.

Great selection of beautiful Christmas trees! The trees are very well maintained. Helpful staff. Place was recommended to us by friends, and after going the past couple of years we plan to keep returning!
