Choose & Cut Christmas Trees

2023 saw the opening of Morgantini Farms Christmas Trees, a choose-and cut Christmas Tree Farm. This was a life long dream come true! Billed as "a small boutique farm in amongst our beautiful walnut trees", they offer both Monterey Pine and Monterey Cypress trees. If you missed it in 2023, check back in November for 2024 dates. Each family will stroll thru our 20 acres to select the perfect tree. After cutting it yourself (if you wish) you are invited to enjoy a tractor hay ride as we carry it back to your car for you. Baked Goods, Hot Cocoa, and Holiday Cheer await. Pencil it in for your 2024 events.
