Red Bird Farm

Cut your own pine or cypress

The farm grows a selection of pine and cypress trees for you to choose from for its u-cut Christmas trees. Each tree for sale in the field wears a price tag that tells you what type of tree it is and how tall it is, so you can choose with the facts in hand.

The farm provides your saw and wagon to help you cut down your tree and get it back to the barn. The provided saws are very sharp, so use them with caution; gloves are recommended, and axes and power saws are not allowed. Farm staff then take your tree, give you a ticket for the barn, shake it out, bale it and load it on top of your car or into your truck. Take your ticket into the barn and pay there. Ask the farm what trees cost this season and how you can pay.

Pre-cut firs and spruce

If you would rather skip the field, the farm has a large selection of pre-cut Christmas trees, including fir and spruce, varieties that cannot be grown in Oklahoma. Choose a tree from the stand and one of the staff will get it for you. Every pre-cut tree is given a fresh cut before it goes home with you, and the staff shake, bale and load it for you.

As with a field tree, you take your ticket into the barn to pay. Ask the farm which varieties and sizes are on the stand this season and what they cost.

Season dates and hours

Red Bird Farm is open only on the days and times listed below, and has no regular hours outside them. Opening Day is Saturday, November 21, starting at 10am; ask the farm to confirm the closing time that day. The last day of the season is Sunday, December 13.

The Barn Store, wreaths and hot cocoa

Your tree ticket is paid in the large red barn the farm calls the Barn Store. While you are in the barn you can shop for gifts or grab some hot cocoa.

At Christmas the Barn Store carries decorations, fresh wreaths and garlands, and gifts, with a wide selection of handmade real wreaths, garlands, mantel pieces and greenery. The store also sells custom jams, canned goods and handmade soaps. Ask the farm about prices and what is in stock.

Play Land and the farm animals

Play Land is the farm’s children’s play area, with a giant slide, a jumbo jumper, a bubble barn for blowing bubbles and a corn pit for sensory play. At the Friday, December 11 tree event, the kids can enjoy Play Land while you shop and explore: tickets are $5 per child (ages 2–18), and adult supervision is required. Ask the farm whether Play Land is open on other days.

Farm animals live on the property, which is why pets must stay home. Ask the farm whether visitors can meet or feed the animals during tree days.

Caring for your tree at home

The farm shakes every tree to get rid of loose needles. To help yours last at home, keep the tree well hydrated, use a stand with a sound water bowl, and make a fresh cut across the base if the tree has gone a long time without water. Keep it away from fire and heat, and expect some needle shedding.

Farm rules and what to expect

A few simple rules keep the farm safe and friendly. No pets are allowed because of the farm animals. Parents are responsible for their children, and everyone should watch for irregular ground and stumps in the field and for pedestrians in the parking area and driveway.

Ask the farm before you come about terrain, restrooms and what happens in rain.

Photography passes for professional photographers

Customers are welcome to take their own photographs. Professional photographers, and anyone taking senior or family pictures that need props or a clear background, buy a pass first. Passes are purchased online and a waiver is signed; buying a pass does not guarantee approval, and the fee is refunded if the farm does not approve the session.

Once you have a pass, request a time on the farm’s photography scheduler. Sessions can be booked any time the farm is not open for an event, on a first come, first served basis. Book Christmas photos well in advance, because November dates fill up quickly. This is a separate service and not part of a tree visit.
