🎄 Thurston County Christmas Tree Farms Open November 27: Here's Where to Cut Yours

Tree season is almost here. Most Thurston County Christmas tree farms open the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 27, according to ThurstonTalk's 2026 guide, and a few start even earlier.

Christmas Valley Tree Farm in Rochester is first out of the gate, open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM starting Saturday, November 21, through December 24, with cut-and-choose trees, wreaths, and greens.

Schilter Family Farm on Nisqually Cutoff Road opens November 27 and runs through December 13, daily from 9 AM to dusk. Its own site lists Douglas firs from $42.50, grand firs from $42.50, and noble, Fraser, and Nordmann firs from $54.

On a budget? Goodwin Family Tree Farm in Olympia lists Douglas, grand, and noble firs from $40, Thursday to Sunday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Beaver Creek Christmas Tree Farm prices every tree at $60 on weekends, and Sprouffske Trees in Rainier has Douglas firs for $45 and grand firs for $65, with nobles for $75 only on the first two weekends.

Plan ahead for the short-season farms. Cetak Family Christmas Tree Farm opens only November 27 to 29, and Hunter Family Farm and Beaver Creek stay open until they sell out. A few farms hadn't confirmed their dates yet, so check each farm's page before you load up the car.

Real estate note: cutting your own tree a few miles from home is one of those Thurston County traditions you don't get in a big city. Farms in Olympia, Rochester, and Rainier sit minutes from neighborhoods all across the county.
