From the farm

Flocking: Flocked trees imitate the appearance of a tree in nature, with its branches dusted with fluffy, glistening snow. Santa’s Tree Farm can apply flocking to your fresh cut tree for a special look epitomizing a winter wonderland. To have a tree flocked it must first be chosen, cut and paid in full. A Flocked Christmas TreeFlocking is $5 per foot in addition to the cost of your tree and tree stand if not provided. Flocked trees are left overnight to dry and picked up Tuesdays through Fridays at the farm. Your tree will be placed in a large plastic bag specifically designed for flocked trees to keep the flocking intact for the drive home.

Gift Shop: Sleigh Bells Gift Shoppe in the Dickens Square area inside the Elves Workshop is filled with handmade wreaths, garland, table top trees, Santa hats, tree stands, ornaments, toys, Christmas stockings and much more for your gift giving, Christmas decorating and Christmas tree needs.

Hay / Wagon / Trailer Rides: Choo Choo!! Take a ride on the Santa Express. We load in Dickens Square and take a slow ride around the farm enoying the views of the trees and Pilarcitos Creek and, of course, passing through Gumdrop Pass Covered Bridge before returning to Dickens Square. Sing Christmas carols to the holiday music that plays in each train car, whether you choose the open air car, the first car behind the engine or the caboose. Stay seated for the duration of the ride and all aboard!

Tree Baler: Much like a hairnet holds human hair in place, a specially designed net has been made for keeping Christmas tree needles intact during transport and while you carry your tree over carpet or furniture in your home. Tree netting helps decrease needle droppings, requiring less clean up. Tree netting is available at Santa’s Tree Farm and Village at any of the three netting stations strategically placed around the farm. Netting is $3 a tree. Santa’s Tree Farm and Village staff will pull your tree through a machine called a baler which wraps it in its own net. Afterward they are happy to load the tree on top of your vehicle and tie it down safely at no additional charge.
