Evergreen Farm in West Newbury opens on Saturday 28 November. Baiting Brook Christmas Tree Farm in Framingham opens on Sunday 29 November.

How much does a Christmas tree cost at a farm near Boston?

These are the prices the farms publish: Houde’s Christmas Tree Farm in Marlborough, $12 a foot; Herrick Tree Farm in Boxford, $100–$175; Mistletoe Christmas Tree Farm in Stow, about $15 a foot; Hopestill Farm in Sherborn, $85 any tree; Evergreen Farm in West Newbury, $105. The other farms don't publish a price, so ask when you call.

Can I bring my dog to a Christmas tree farm near Boston?

Houde’s Christmas Tree Farm in Marlborough, Herrick Tree Farm in Boxford, Ingraham Christmas Tree Farm in Georgetown and Mistletoe Christmas Tree Farm in Stow welcome dogs; each card says on what terms. The other farms don't say, so ring before you bring one.

Which farms near Boston haven't posted their 2026 dates?

CJ Donovan & Sons Nursery in Groveland. It is listed because people look for it by name, and its card says what the farm has published so far.

How these were checked

Every farm here was read on its own website or Facebook page, and each card quotes the farm’s words and carries the date it was checked; cards updated from a farm’s own email say so. Where a farm states its opening as a rule — “the day after Thanksgiving” — or prints a day with no year, the card gives the 2026 date that rule makes and says so.

Around Boston here means Middlesex, Essex, Norfolk and Plymouth counties. Directories and news roundups were used only to find farms, never for a date or a price.
