Clancy’s Christmas Trees & Pumpkin Patch

The trees here are way too expensive and the measuring system is not accurate. I bought a 7′ tree last year from Mountain Mama’s for $ 65. Unfortunately they are closed so I went to Clancy’s last night and a 7′ tree was $ 118! Not only are they too expensive but when I voiced my concern about to the price to the gentleman who was helping us he became defensive and stomped away. Never coming back to this place.

I purchased pumpkins from them one time… first and last time. It was one of the most expensive purchases — EVER! Couldn’t believe how much they charged.
I purchased a Christmas tree this past weekend from a lot in South San Francisco — great service, beautiful fresh cut trees. It is a gorgeous 8 – 9′ for $ 85.
I stopped at Clancy’s the next day to pick up a secondary tree for the house. Their 7 – 8′ was $ 165. Yep, basically twice as much. I was absolutely floored and couldn’t hide it and said something. He kind of copped an attitude then, dissed my tree and lot from where I had purchased the day before and walked away.
I’m just saying — we talk about livability issues in SF and the extreme costs. Well, we can make a difference and NOT pay these prices. Drive south an extra 5 minutes.
Yes, their trees are very pretty and displayed very nicely. If you are looking for a tree, in the city, don’t want to drive and don’t mind paying these prices — have at it.

This is our fourth year shopping for our Christmas tree at this lot and like years before, we are so happy with our decision!
The employees there are very helpful with the tree selection process. This year, someone just gave us the measuring stick so we could walk around and check the heights of the trees (note that any tree taller than 7 ½ feet, you will need to ask for pricing).
We got a 7-​footer for about $ 132.00 and paid about $ 5.00 for a 2-​oz bottle of the solution you add to the water.
Didn’t buy a stand because the one we purchased a few years ago is still good.
I was tempted to ding a star because our tree had a slice of pizza stuck in the string that wrapped our tree! We didn’t notice until we got home, but it was pretty gross. I know it was an accident, but how in the world did it get into the wrapping machine!!!
BTW, they also have real bunnies and turkeys in the back area.
Warning, no dogs allowed in the lot (for good reason), but we didn’t know this and brought our Shar-​Pei Rexy. We were told to just keep her real close and on her leash this time, which was really nice… until she saw the turkeys and went insane. Good thing we were done and it was time to leave by then.
Only VISA and Mastercard credit cards are accepted. No AMEX.
See you guys next year!

Got our tree there last night. $ 135ish for a 7.5 foot tree — seems a bit overpriced, but the first lot we went to (Mountain Mama’s in Outer Sunset) was closed (thanks not very much, Unilocal), and we were in a get-​it-​over-​with mood. So, we’ll probably find a better deal next year.
There seemed to be 2 levels of staff here — first was the rather friendly, helpful guys who appeared to be recovering addicts or some other kind of homeless rehab people (maybe it’s just the seasonal help they found on Craigslist, but in my experience volunteering with these kind of programs, this is my best guess). The second were the people running the place, who were constantly yelling at and ordering the first group of guys around like dictators and generally treating them like lesser humans. If the price wasn’t enough reason to not be back, supporting this kind of behavior definitely is. Good on you for giving these guys work, but you should be ashamed of yourselves for how you’re treating them.
The tree is nice and the parking was fine, and nobody barked about our dog being with us (it’s not a service dog or a pretend one either). She sure liked checking out the turkeys.

Xmas trees are extremely expensive. About twice the price you’d find anywhere else. The lot is well decorated and you can select the tree you want which is nice. Someone is also here to put the tree on the roof of your car which is very kind but still doesn’t justify such a high price.

I’ve been going to Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch for many years; first with my 2 young friends and now with their 5 children. Of course the pumpkins cost more than in a supermarket ! This is a large lot surrounded by trees with hundreds and hundreds of pumpkins, decorations and tableaus on hay bales, a hay bale tunnel, turkeys, pony rides, porta-​potties, little toys and such for sale and a hayride in a farm wagon. THis is a CItY ! Of course it costs some $$. Try taking 5 kids to a movie w. popcorn etc. THis is an annual tradition that we all love and enjoy. I have found the staff friendly and chatty from the parking lot guy to the ladies who price the pumpkins. Check the size prices before the kids pick theirs and have some fun !!

So happy to be able to pick up some quality pumpkins within the city limits. Good selection but it is a bit pricey than your typical pumpkin patch. Super cute layout and looks like a great place to bring your kids.

Very cute to see turkeys and a hay maze pony rides are $ 10 and the hayrides cost too. We got 3 large pumpkins that would be 4.99−5.99 at ANY GROCERY STORE or half moon bay and they lady was so rude and told me the large cost $ 12 but mine were «special colors» so it cost ¹¹⁄₂ times normal and wanted to charge 18 – 22 a pumpkin! RIDICULOUS I won’t go back for pumpkins that is outrageous. $ 49 for 3 pumpkins? Cute pumpkin patch but the cashier lost my forever business.

Parking lot was a little tight, but we were able to make it in time before the line to park got long on Sunday afternoon. I do appreciate the fact that a parking lot exists here, though! Took our toddler here for the first time and he immediately wanted to ride the rides before checking out the pumpkins.
As of today the prices are:
$ 3.50/each hayride in a tractor around the parking lot (goes around the outer path 3 times), $ 8 for a cowboy hat, $ 10 for a pony ride, and a $ 25 package for 3 pony rides and a photo. It was our son’s 1^st pony ride ever and he insisted on doing it — but as it started, our toddler screamed, cried, and didn’t want to ride after the ponies went around the circle once (a full 360 degrees) even though we held on to him, and we were allowed to leave the corded off area, but no money back for not really getting to ride as long as the other kids ($ 10 felt wasted! Definitely a #SFSurcharge as someone else tagged). Some parents had their kids watch because they felt $ 10/​child was too much for a small pony ride & we definitely agree if you think your child won’t want to ride as our son did (although ours wanted to ride until he was on it) because you won’t get any money back after they get your ticket.
Small hay maze for kids who kept getting into mini traffic jams inside because other kids just wanted to sit by the exits inside the tunnels.
Pretty small place (understandable, considering it’s SF) with a couple of good photo op areas, a little tent selling small Halloween items like pumpkin carving kits, wagons & wheelbarrows to help transport pumpkins to your car, and they take cash or credit card. No prices listed anywhere, but we did spend $ 3.50 for 2 small pumpkins — one the size of an adult fist, the other the size of 3 fists. It is cheaper at the local neighborhood produce markets. Didn’t get to interact with any staff up until paying at the register and the guy was friendly.
Definitely felt like we spent a lot more money than we should have. Our son did have a good first time (minus the ponies), so they get an extra star. When he’s older, we’ll most likely try other pumpkin patches in the Bay Area.

Just tried to get pumpkins from this place and the woman that greeted me was super rude about my service dog. After I told her my dog is a service dog, she basically called me a liar. She said, «well if she’s a service dog and that’s the truth then I can’t do anything about it.» Someone needs to teach this woman some decency and about equal access laws. She has no idea who I am or anything about me and she looks me up and down like I’m a criminal and treating me like such. If she would even just have asked me for my California service dog tag (which I don’t even need to provide, along with any sort of proof actually), it would have been a nicer way to handle this. My dog is more well mannered than she is. There’s another pumpkin patch in the sunset that never gives us grief or is rude like this, so I would avoid this place and support someone that has some common decency.

Maybe they read their Unilocal reviews and got friendlier? I don’t know. Came here for the first time on 10/​2, only their second day of the season so they were still getting set up. Every staffer I encountered was helpful, from the guy who offered to take a photo of me with my daughter, to the woman who told us to come back and visit again once the animals were there. Having read the negative reviews, I *did* make picking out a pumpkin the first order of business so they knew we were buying one, and that was the only one I let my toddler carry… since she dropped it more than she carried it. $ 3.50 for a small/​medium-​ish sugar pie pumpkin (good for baking!), I thought it was a fair price. The big carving pumpkins at Trader Joe’s are $ 3 but don’t look as good, and they’re too big for me to lug home on muni anyway. Ten days in and no signs of rot. Most importantly, I got tons of cute pictures, and my 19 month-​old is now obsessed with pumpkins.

I took my daughter in for a pumpkin patch while discussing party planning for my office with the owner. Pumpkin patch is good enough considering it is in the city, although it is in a very open place so my daughter and I fried under the sun. The hay ride was unimpressive, but will probably be ok for city kiddos who never experienced a hay ride before.
As for doing business with the owner… I am not a fan of being talked to like I am a little girl, for example: «No booze here. Got it?» I came to discuss a pumpkin carving activity for my colleagues in Fin. District and needless to say we took our business elsewhere.

I really need to stop going here for Christmas trees. They are sooo expensive.
The price is the only con. I don’t know how the trees are grown or sourced, but they are 2−3X more expensive than other lots. No exaggeration.
The Pros: They give a nice overall experience. Clancy’s tree lot has a lot of decorations that make for good photo ops. The workers are kind and very helpful.

Clancy’s is one of our annual field trip outings for both our pumpkins and tree. The family lot has such a lovely farm atmosphere. They carry high quality trees of many different types and many are from their own farm in Oregon. They do everything for you including wrapping it and having workers tie to your car so it’s easy to get your tree home. When we went they were packed and we still got through the line in a short time while they were giving our tree a fresh cut. They even have fresh collected mistletoe. The cutest thing is that give children «wee lil’» trees. They said they’re gifts for the kids so they have their own trees every year.

This is to follow up on a review that was unjustifiably deleted. Clancy’s treated me with massive disrespect last year. I wrote a review relaying my experience to other San Francisco consumers. My review was deleted, after having been up on Unilocal for about a year. Without explanation or justification.
What is the value of Unilocal if not to provide accurate, vetted, and lasting accounts of the services provided by local businesses? Delete these, and we are all misled. For shame, Unilocal stock option grubbers. For shame, Clancy, thou who got in my face and yelled at me one year ago when I was just trying to buy a pumpkin. You people are scum, colluders, the worst of the E-​economy.
If you read this, avoid Clancy’s. And, as I’ve learned, think about avoiding Unilocal,too. Because there is no integrity here.

Bad attitude!
We were a group of mothers with toddlers, hanging out, enjoying the pumpkins, talking about buying some pumpkins and carving them, when they came over, asked if we were going to buy something, and asking us to leave, since «it’s a business not a park».

astronomical prices. I wanted to support a local business and let my kids have some fun. attractions are meh — so so. but prices are too too high. both my pumpkins seemed to be rounded up to the next category. no prices marked in advance. I paid $ 16 for a medium/​large and a small pumpkin. I’m happy to pay a bit more, but this was just silly. Plus $ 10 for the hayride.

If you live in the city, this is the only place you need to go for all your Pumpkin needs. I’ve actually come here to have a picnic with some friends in the evening. Bring a blanket, hot cider and have some fun! During the daytime take the kids on the tractor ride around the patch.
Pumpkins of every size, color and texture are waiting to be taken home to be carved into something frightful! Behind the register are the smaller sized pumpkins, colored corn and squash. Be sure to pick up one or two of the cooking pumpkins to make a delectable soup. Roast the seeds so you can enjoy them while watching your fright night movie.
The price is not a fright either. I left with 6 Pumpkins of varying sizes, colors and shapes at only $ 17.00.
Happy Halloween folks!

$ 3.50 for a dusty hay ride around the parking lot. #SFSurcharge

This is the cutest tree farm ever! I love it! They have so many to choose from. My bf & I were looking for a small tree to put in the first place we both live in =) we came here last year during the Halloween season & we were able to pick up a small pumpkin. It was absolutely adorable. This place is awesome! Everyone is so sweet & friendly. It’s also super close to me house! Can’t wait to come back!!!
