November 30 – Whether you’re interested in a farm-grown tree or want to cut your own tree in a nearby national forest, New Mexico has several great options.

Cassidy Farm
Cassidy Farms is an excellent choice to purchase a Christmas tree and has been growing and selling them for over 40 years. The ranch is located in northern New Mexico, near the Mora Valley. It covers more than 20 acres at an elevation of 7,300 feet. For the 2024 season, Cassidy Farms will grow premium quality white pine Christmas trees. The supply is limited, so come by quickly to pick out the perfect tree for your home.
Garcia Family Christmas Tree Lot
Garcia Family Christmas Tree Lot was founded in 1937 by Tony Garcia on the corner of San Pedro and Menaul. After his death, his grandson bought a house in the North Valley and continued the family tradition of selling Christmas trees. A great day to buy your tree is during the winter market on December 14 from noon to 5 p.m. Here you can buy a freshly cut tree along with a handmade wreath. Local vendors also sell food and handmade items. This New Mexico institution is sure to make the holidays more magical.
