First to open

Six farms open on Saturday 21 November, the Saturday before Thanksgiving: Hunt’s and Martin Manor in Millersville, Elizabeth Farms in Lititz for a half-day soft opening, Miller’s in Elizabethtown, Country Barn in Lancaster, on weekends only, and Metzler in Holtwood for one early day before its Black Friday opening. Heritage, Gehman’s, Frog Hollow, Abe’s and Strickler’s start on Black Friday.

Book or tag first

This is the part people from other states get caught by. Heritage takes choose-and-cut by reservation only, on five days. Hunt’s opens tagging on 1 October and Miller’s on 31 October — so the best trees are spoken for weeks before the season starts.

Book before you go: Heritage Tree Farm and Country Barn (tickets bought online) need a booking to cut. Turn up without one on those days and you may not get a tree.

Dogs: 1 farm on this page welcomes them. Every dog-friendly farm in Pennsylvania, with each farm’s rule.

Hunt’s Christmas Trees

Millersville, PA · 15 min south-west of Lancaster

The most choice and the clearest pricing in the county. In the field you can cut white pine, Douglas fir, and concolor, Korean and hybrid firs; Fraser and Canaan come pre-cut from the Indoor Forest. Tagging opens on 1 October and is free — walk the rows dawn to dusk any day, tie a tag on, come back for it. Wagon rides, a fire pit for s’mores and a free ornament from the gift shop.

Tagging is free and runs dawn to dusk seven days a week from 1 October — stop at the tag booth by the car park before you walk out. If you want the tree cut before you arrive to collect it, ring ahead.

Before you set offThe farm says its inventory moves quickly and asks you to ring 717-330-8102 to check availability before setting off, particularly for the tall trees: the 8–10 ft firs are marked limited supply and the 12–14 ft white pines very limited.

The one to pick if the tree is only half the point. Horse-drawn wagon rides on Fridays and Saturdays, Santa’s Workshop, a gift shop, cooked breakfast and lunch at the weekend and a bar serving holiday drinks.

Their own page also gives no street address or phone for either farm; it names only Elizabethtown and Bernville. We have asked.

Country Barn

Lancaster, PA · 10 min south-west of the city

Eighty-one acres ten minutes from the city, where the Christmas trees are one part of a day out rather than the whole of it. Jim planted the first batch in 2000 and harvested them in 2008; there are more than twenty acres of them now.

Gehman’s Christmas Tree Farm

Mount Joy, PA · 25 min west of Lancaster

Ten acres of cut-your-own on a family farm bought by Leon and Anna Gehman in 1975, where Seth Gehman started planting Christmas trees in 2018 and harvested the first of them in 2023. One price for every tree, cut or pre-cut, with the tax already in it, and a saw handed to you at the gate.

Worth knowingA flat $90 changes how you choose. On a farm that prices by height, a tall tree is the expensive decision; here the only question is which tree you like, and the biggest one in the field costs what the smallest does. Note the two Friday afternoons — 4 and 11 December open at 1pm, not 9am.

Before you set offThe farm has published a block headed 2026 Hours, which settles what we were asking about: the November 28 with no year on it that used to be the only date on the site was last season’s. The street number has moved too — their own footer now gives 1650 Nolt Road where older listings, ours included, said 1648.

Worth knowingA flat price changes how you choose: a 6 ft concolor and an 8 ft Canaan cost the same here, so pick on smell and branch rather than on the ticket. The farm expects Canaan and concolor fir up to about 8 ft in the field this year, which is taller than last season, when it was 5 to 6 ft Douglas and Canaan with a few concolors. Douglas fir and Norway spruce are also grown, but a given weekend may not have all four.

Before you set offThese dates, hours and the price come from Maryanne Schwartz at the farm, who answered us by email on 29 October; the website still showed the 2025 season when we checked. Six days only, in two Friday-to-Sunday weekends, and the farm closes in continuous rain and adds a weekend when it does — so check before setting out. It shuts at 4:30pm firm, with no lighting in the fields.

Lancaster County Christmas tree questions

Where can you cut your own Christmas tree in Lancaster County?

11 farms in and around the county. Hunt’s in Millersville has the widest choice of species; Elizabeth Farms in Lititz has horse-drawn wagon rides, Santa and a bar; Miller’s in Elizabethtown has the longest season, open every day to Christmas Eve; and Country Barn runs a train out to the fields. Heritage in Rothsville takes bookings rather than walk-ins, and at Martin Manor in Millersville you reserve a tree by its tag. In the south of the county, Metzler in Holtwood has fields to cut in and pre-cut trees at its barn.

When do Lancaster County Christmas tree farms open in 2026?

Six open on Saturday 21 November: Hunt’s, Martin Manor, Elizabeth Farms for a morning soft opening, Miller’s, which then shuts again from the 23rd to the 25th, Country Barn, on Saturdays and Sundays only, and Metzler, for one early day at its tree farm before it opens properly on Black Friday. Heritage, Gehman’s, Frog Hollow, Abe’s and Strickler’s open on Black Friday, 27 November. The season runs longest at Miller’s, to Christmas Eve; Hunt’s to 21 December, Elizabeth Farms to the 19th, Country Barn to the 13th, Heritage and Gehman’s to the 12th, and Frog Hollow to the 6th, the shortest season in the county.

What kind of Christmas trees grow in Pennsylvania?

Far more kinds than in the southern states, and that is the real reason to cut your own here. Hunt’s alone grows white pine, Douglas fir, concolor fir, Fraser fir, Korean fir and Turkish fir. Across the county you can also cut Canaan fir, blue spruce and Leyland cypress. By comparison, the North Carolina mountains grow Fraser fir and very little else. If you want to know which to pick, our Fraser fir vs Douglas fir guide covers the three most common.

Do I need to book a Christmas tree in Lancaster County?

At Heritage Tree Farm, yes — choose-and-cut there is reservation only, through a sign-up sheet on their website, on five days in all. Nowhere else requires it, but two farms open tagging long before the season: Hunt’s from 1 October and Miller’s from 31 October. You walk the field, tag the tree you want and come back for it. It is a Pennsylvania habit that catches out visitors, and it means the best trees are claimed weeks before anyone opens.

How much is a Christmas tree in Lancaster County?

Hunt’s publishes a full 2026 list: $100 for a 6–8 ft white pine, $115 for a Douglas fir and $130 for a concolor, Korean or hybrid fir, rising to $250 for an 8–10 ft fir and $300 for a 12–14 ft white pine. Miller’s charges by the foot for 2026: $14 for white pine, $15.50 for Douglas fir and $18 for Fraser, blue spruce, Canaan and concolor. Gehman’s charges one price for every tree, $90 with the tax in it, and Frog Hollow a flat $70. Country Barn charges $6.50 admission, with the tree priced by height on top. Our what a tree costs page collects every real price list we hold.

Which farm is best with children?

Country Barn if the point is the day out — a train ride to the tree fields, giant slides, barnyard animals, a hedge maze and an elf scavenger hunt, on eight weekend days from 21 November, with $6.50 admission and Breakfast with Santa bookable separately. Elizabeth Farms for horse-drawn wagon rides and Santa’s Workshop, with cooked food at the weekend. Hunt’s is the gentler version: a wagon ride, a fire pit for s’mores and a free ornament, with no ticket.

Can I bring my dog?

Hunt’s says so plainly — pet-friendly and kid-friendly grounds. None of the others state a policy either way, which usually means a leashed dog is fine but is worth a phone call if you would rather not find out at the gate.

Why do some of these farms still show last year’s hours?

Because a farm that sells most of its trees over four or five weekends has little reason to touch its website in October. Every farm on this page now has a 2026 opening date, but not every one has posted 2026 hours: Strickler’s gives its opening as Black Friday and its hours are last season’s, and Frog Hollow’s dates came from the farm by email while its website still shows last year. We leave a column empty rather than carry last season forward as this year’s.

How these were checked

Every listing above was read on the farm’s own website or, for Strickler’s, its Facebook page, and each card carries the date it was last read. All ten have a 2026 opening date. Where it comes from a standing rule rather than a posted date, or the hours are last season’s, the card says so. What a farm grows, what it charges to walk in and how it takes payment go up either way, because those change far more slowly than dates do.

Dates and prices change. Check with the farm before you set off, and if you spot something stale here, say so and it gets fixed.
