Nothing ushers in the holiday season like choosing and cutting your own farm fresh Christmas tree. Those with younger children can create cherished family memories that will last a lifetime.

Half Moon Bay is home to many wonderful Christmas tree farms that are just a short drive away. Please be advise, though, the drought has impacted local growers, so we encourage you to call the farms before traveling to them. Ask them about the conditions of the trees and their selections.

Not feeling so adventurous? Try a Half Moon Bay Christmas tree lot. It can be a great alternative and just as much fun for your kids, since many of the Christmas tree farms and lots offer extras such as hot cider, hay rides and more. Visit the links below and see which one will best meet your specific needs. Again, be sure to call before you go!

Half Moon Bay Christmas Tree Farms

Lemos Family Farm – Choose and Cut ???

Explorer1.com Review – They have a very limited selection of choose and cut trees, so you may want to call and ask them about the quality and selection of their trees before you make the trip.

The family farm does specialize in year round activities for children such as pony rides, tractor/train rides, petting zoo, seasonal themed activities, etc.  Adults may find the seasonal decorations and crowds a little much, but children seem to love it!
