Holiday Tree Sale 2025 at Lum Farm

Starting at noon the Friday after Thanksgiving holiday, we will have hundreds of trees in all shapes and sizes: Noble, Frasier, Douglas Fir and Nordman trees from 2 ft. to 10 ft. Bring your friends and family to pick out a tree, say hello to the critters in the self-guided farm walk, and enjoy some hot apple cider.

Tree sale hours are Thursday through Saturday, 12pm - 5pm and Sunday 12pm-4pm at 1071 Crow Valley Rd. Sales begin Friday, November 28, the day after Thanksgiving. No early birds please - farm chores need to be done before the sale opens each day. We also ask that dogs be kept in vehicles. 

Eric makes two trips to Alpine Meadows Tree Farm in Deming, Washington for the trees. So, if you don't come opening weekend we will have a whole new batch of trees set out in time for the next weekend!

The Lum Farmstand will be open during tree sale hours, so please stop by for island-grown meats, goat’s milk cheese and ice cream, and apple-y delights such as cider and pie. Lum Farm swag, wooly gifts and ornaments by Bossy’s Feltworks are also on hand. Trees are first come first served, but you may order food items online at www.lumfarmorcas.com for pickup at the farm.

 How to Care for Your Farm-Grown 

Christmas Tree

Use lots of water!!! 

Once home, place the tree in water as soon as possible. If needed, trees can be stored for several days in a cool location. Place the freshly cut trunk 

in a bucket that is kept full of water.

Putting your tree in a stand: 

• Don’t whittle the sides of the trunk down to fit a stand. 

• Make a fresh cut to remove a 1/2-inch thick disk of wood from the base of the trunk before putting the tree in the stand. (We can do that for you at the farm)

Check the stand daily and add water if needed.

Watch the temperature:

• Keep trees away from major sources of heat (fireplaces, heaters, heat vents, direct sunlight).

• Always turn off the tree lights when leaving the house or when going to bed.
