Garlock Tree Farm

Great selection and the staff was friendly. My first time coming to this farm and I will definitely come back again next year.

This is such a great place to make family memories! This is my familys 2^nd Christmas living in Sonoma county and this place is quickly becoming a huge part of our family’s holiday traditions. We didn’t know where to go for our tree last year, seeing as we were new in town and there are so many options here in Sebastapol. We decided on this place on a whim, and I am so glad we did.
We love this place, and take full advantage of all the great things it has to offer. Going out and picking out and cutting your own tree is great. but they also offer all of the conveniences, from shaking all the extra needles off and wrapping it for the drive home, to even providing you saws and wagons. Awesome!
My two daughters love all the great Christmas things they have to do. Besides the awesome memories of picking out and cutting down their own tree, they get to talk to Santa (FREE!), ride the horse drawn carriage (FREE!) and jump in the jumpy house ($ 1 and my girls got jump for as long as we let them).
They have such a great little shop where you pay for your tree, but you can also get yummy snacks, hot cocoa, free coffee ;) wreaths, mistletoe and plenty of darling Christmas decorations/​tree ornaments. All of which are reasonably priced.
Along with great family memories, free of charge :)
I would definitely recommend this tree farm if your looking for a great time and family friendly environment! We just got home from here and we will definitely be going back next year. 3^rd year in a row!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

There are a ton of Christmas tree farms to chose from in Sebastopol and they all seem to be located right next to each other. We went with Garlock because they offer free tractor hayrides. The drive to the farm was really scenic; beautiful old barns, miniature ponies, grand persimmon trees. Just a really nice Saturday drive. When you arrive at the farm beware because the parking is very tight and you will have to do some maneuvering to get out. Garlock has a small animal petting area but it does cost, I didn’t catch the price. They have pony rides for $ 5, they sell snacks, they had a Santa Claus, and the tractor hayride. The hayride is cool; there is only one bale of hay to sit on, the main seating is benches. The driver takes you on a short drive around the trees which everyone enjoyed. We then got to work picking out a tree. They provide the cutting tool and a cart free of charge. The terrain is rough so be sure to wear some boots and be prepared to get dirty. They had a lot of trees but most of them were beat up looking and not very full or very green. We were able to find the perfect tree though. It was so much fun to actually cut the tree down and yell «timber». Great memories and photos. You will be on your own to cut and carry your tree. It’s completely a do it yourself operation. I got an 8 ft tree for $ 73 and a Davis tree stand for $ 21. I really only wanted a wood stand nailed into the tree but they said I’d have to do it myself. They really pushed the Davis stand. Now that I have it, I highly recommend it, it’s sturdy and way easier to use than a plastic stand. There were a ton of workers sitting around but they didn’t offer any assistance, instead they sat there while my two very petite family members carted the tree to the car while I went in to pay. They will offer to sell you netting for $ 1.50 though. They didn’t offer us twine so be sure to bring your own. They do take credit cards and you can get free mini candy canes by the register. Overall the drive, the hayride, and the fun experience of cutting the tree down made it worth every penny. One word of advice, I didn’t think about the price of the tree until after we already cut it down. So if you are on a budget be sure to pay attention to the type of tree and the height. Next year I will check out some of the other tree farms.

I think it speaks VOLUMES when someone responds to a voicemail within 24 hours. Thanks to Keith, I have the answers I need and am committed to supporting Garlock Tree Farm as I’m able. Thank you for your focus on customer service!

This is by far the best Christmas tree farm in Sonoma County, just for having the option to buy a LIVING tree!!! Thank you SO much! Our Frazier Fir is gorgeous and we will be planting her traditionally on New Years day. I really appreciate farms like this! Thank you again! BEST in Sonoma county… they are amazing and create so much family fun! We ended up cutting our own tree AND buying a small live one. They are helpful, sincere and a ton of fun for the whole family! GO LOCAL!!! :))
Take advantage of their horse drawn carriage rides! Woohoo! I already can’t wait for next year! ;)

I would give two an a half if I could because I feel two stars is a little harsh. I grew up coming here for my family’s Christmas trees, and I’ve carried that tradition over to bringing my wife ad children here. Unfortunately the price of the trees here are very very high. I understand why the prices are so high, but that doesn’t change the fact that a 7 ft tree should not cost between 50 – 70 dollars depending on the tree. Being driven to get a tree somewhere else crushes me. But unless something changes, I can’t see this place carrying on with prices like this. They are going to be losing more and more customers. It’s sad really.

Great noble fir trees from Shasta delivered fresh. No silver tip though.
Love my tree every year.
Thanks again! !
Cheaper than the tree farm at Wells Fargo arts center by the way, i checked.

This place is the absolute best! we have gone every Christmas for more than 20 years. It is a very well run family business. The trees are all sizes and types and the prices are very fair. But it’s the best way to get in the holiday mood anytime after Thanksgiving.
Bring a Boda-​bag to christen and toast your tree. it’s a tradition!!!

This is the place to make and maintain a precious Christmas tradition. We have brought our son here since he was one and we look forward to it each year. My husband and I love the free tractor rides through the trees and free coffee :-). My son loves the petting zoo, jumpy house and Santa. We all love looking for the right tree. Watching my husband and son cut down our tree is heartwarming. I took my parents here last weekend and they can’t stop raving about it! I knew how special it was and was thrilled to share it with my folks who were visiting from out of town. I hope to bring my grandkids here one day!

Great experience! Free tractor ride, free coffee, tons of trees at all sizes, pleasant staff, very busy but plenty of room to spread out, fair pricing, kid friendly. Will go again.

Good selection of both pre-​cut trees and cut-​it-​yourself trees. (We walked away with a beautiful 8ft Scotch Pine we cut down.) They will shake the tree for you to get rid of loose needles and other surprises, wrap it and secure it to your car as well. Would be a fun place to bring kids if you have them– Bouncy house, petting zoo, pony rides, tractor rides, etc. All in all, this is a fun place run by good people!

This is a great family friendly tree farm. If you don’t have kids, I don’t recommend going cuz they run all around. Its so pretty and nice here. The trees are healthy and lovely. The give free hay rides and have tons of things for kids to do. The staff is really friendly, took pictures of the whole family for us, and even joined in our little picnic (sandwiches, chips and beer) Look forward to going back another year.

Every year my mom and I venture out in December to buy our families Christmas trees. Over the years we’ve gone to a variety of different tree lots and tree farms all over Sonoma County and we were always left a little disappointed. The trees would dry out very soon after getting them home and our heavier ornaments would hang from the branches. Overall the trees would lose the lovely fresh smell and look before Christmas Eve would roll around.
Last year on a whim we discovered Garlock Tree Farm and we were delighted with the tree! The day we went it was POURING rain so we quickly chose a tree from the pre-​cut section in front and it was perfect! The tree was still fresh when we took it down in January! The branches were sturdy and the smell was so refreshing. The service of the staff is great and the cute little gift shop is a great place to look around while you wait for them to wrap up the tree.
We can’t wait to return this year for another wonderful tree; this is definitely the place we will buy all of our trees from now on!

In hopes of starting off the HOLIDAY SEASON, the roomies and I along w/​friends trecked up North to Sonoma County in search of the PERFECT XMAS TREE. Lo and Behold we found (well after some internet research) GARLOCK TREE FARM. There we were greeted by nice northern Cali folks, and handed a saw, yup you read it right, a saw, we were going to CUT OUR OWN XMAS TREE. Although I was hoping there would be more selection of trees to cut, they do have Noble Fir, which are Pre-​Cut, price varies. BUT, after several minutes of strolling around the TREE FARM, and it’s a pretty sizable tree farm, we found her, the tree that will symbolize XMAS 2009!!! Although i’m not a huge fan of DOUGLAS FIR, this one struck me, and of course everyone else were in awe! and there she went, cut and taken home! It was a bit pricey for a Douglas Fir, BUT, it was the experience that mattered!
