One of the best things about Christmas in the Pacific Northwest is the fun of picking a Christmas tree with your family. It’s a beautiful tradition your kids will remember forever. Nothing beats the smell and feel of a real Christmas tree. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable Christmas tree farm experience, bundle up the kids and head over to Skyline Tree Farm in Salem, Oregon.
Skyline Christmas Tree Farm is owned and operated by Linda and Brian at 7300 Skyline Road South in Salem, Oregon. They purchased the farm in 2003 but didn’t open for business until 2015. As Linda says, “It takes a long time to grow a Christmas tree!” Brian has an MA in Forestry, and Linda has a certificate in merchandising, and they love finally being able to use their skills together in this family business.
They offer both choose and cut and pre-cut trees, so whether you want to pick one off the lot or head to the fields to cut one yourself, they’ve got you covered. They provide saws, knee pads, and shaking and baling of your tree to make the process as fun and simple as possible. You can also purchase garland and fresh wreaths (either undecorated or ready to hang). Be sure to visit their gift shop while you’re there! They have everything you’d need for your Christmas tree, including stands and ornaments, as well as a variety of Christmas gifts and stockings. They even carry local honey from a neighboring farm!
“We try to make this a family experience. Something for everyone to remember. This will be our 8th year, and we have families that have been coming since we opened in 2015. We try to make this an experience to remember-the customer comes first!”
The tree farm opens the day after Thanksgiving and is open every Thursday through Sunday through December 23rd.
The best way to stay up to date with what’s going on at Skyline is by following them on Instagram and Facebook or checking out their website.
