A Florida Christmas tree outing can mean a drive through the Panhandle, a stop near Live Oak, or a family afternoon in central Florida. This guide includes local growers from Tallahassee and Cottondale to Middleburg, Citra, Anthony, Dade City, Spring Hill and Eustis. Happ’s also operates its own pre-cut outlets in Winter Park and Orange City, supplied by its Wisconsin growing operation. Verified choices remain sparse farther south. Florida field trees include sand pine, cedar and cypress, while pre-cut northern firs may come from another grower; ask which trees were grown by the farm you are visiting.
Many farms traditionally begin sales around Thanksgiving, but opening dates, cutting hours and available sizes vary. Check the farm’s own announcement before setting out. Confirm tickets or appointments, payment methods, remaining field stock and pet rules. Photography and holiday attractions may follow different schedules from cutting.
Measure your ceiling and stand, allowing space for a topper and spreading branches. Bring sturdy boots, gloves and a light layer, and ask whether saws or cutting help are supplied. Plan how to secure the tree for transport and keep its stand watered. The Florida Department of Agriculture’s farm finder offers statewide leads. Use our Christmas tree planner to organize your visit.
Opening days and stock change from year to year. Check the farm’s own website before you set out. Know of a farm we’ve missed, or one that’s closed? Tell us at the contact page.
