Mother Nature’s Farm
This family-owned farm was purchased back in 1968 by the Kelsall family when they decided to grow something to give to their community. Do you know what they decided to sell of all things? Christmas trees! In 1980 they started testing and planting trees, which we all know takes some time. But by 1985, they sold their first lot of eldarica pine trees and locals loved they could choose, cut, and dig their own trees for the holidays. This is definitely an Arizona Christmas tree farm you can’t miss!
Selling Douglas Firs and Noble Firs, you can choose your fresh cut tree and make a day or night of it for some extra holiday fun. Stay for a hayride, and photo walls.
