Christmas tree farm guide
Christmas tree farms in Kansas.
From Shawnee, Lawrence and Louisburg near the Kansas City area to Meriden, Newton, Walton, Maize, Derby and St. John, these 9 Kansas farm guides explain which trees each farm grows, what it charges where it says, who does the cutting and when it opens. Scotch pine is the field favorite at eight of the nine farms, five let you cut your own, and three have the staff cut the tree you choose, with Midland Holiday Pines offering both. Tree season starts as early as Friday, November 20 and as late as the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Pick a region and a tree
Midland Holiday Pines in Shawnee has welcomed the Kansas City area for more than twenty years, and Pinestead Grove Farm in Louisburg is a short drive south of the Kansas City metro. West along Highway 40, Strawberry Hill Christmas Tree Farm sits just west of Lawrence, and Seven Pines Christmas Tree Farm is two miles north of Meriden, about a 25-minute drive from Topeka and Lawrence. In south-central Kansas, Pine Creek Farm has a Newton address but sits where Marion and McPherson counties meet, about a mile west and two miles south of Goessel, and Peaceful Pines Christmas Tree Farm is a small family farm out in the country near Walton. In the Wichita area, Prairie Pines is in Maize and Pine Lake Christmas Tree Farm is near Derby, and Delp Christmas Tree Farm and Orchard sits on the east side of Highway 281 at St. John. Scotch pine is the field-grown favorite at Midland Holiday Pines, Strawberry Hill Christmas Tree Farm, Pinestead Grove Farm, Seven Pines Christmas Tree Farm, Pine Creek Farm, Pine Lake Christmas Tree Farm, Peaceful Pines Christmas Tree Farm and Delp Christmas Tree Farm and Orchard. Prairie Pines cuts Loblolly pine and updates its stock board through the season, so ask what is open the day you go. Austrian pine grows at Midland Holiday Pines, Pine Creek Farm, Pine Lake Christmas Tree Farm, Peaceful Pines Christmas Tree Farm and Delp Christmas Tree Farm and Orchard, Virginia pine at Midland Holiday Pines, Pine Lake Christmas Tree Farm and Peaceful Pines Christmas Tree Farm, and Delp Christmas Tree Farm and Orchard also grows Canaan, Concolor and Douglas fir. Seven Pines Christmas Tree Farm has some Blue Spruce and Douglas Fir in the field for anyone not after a big tree. Fraser fir comes in cut rather than grown in the field: Midland Holiday Pines brings it from Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina, Pine Creek Farm from Minnesota, Delp Christmas Tree Farm and Orchard from North Carolina and Prairie Pines from Michigan and North Carolina. Pine Lake Christmas Tree Farm is not importing trees this year, so its choosing is among its own pines.
