OPEN NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2025
With over 25,000 trees planted on our farm, we take great pride in nurturing our Christmas tree to ensure sustainability is at the heart of what we do.
For every tree cut down, we plant another, maintaining the beauty of our land for generations to come.
At MERRI Christmas Trees, we invite you to immerse yourself in the experience of wandering through our plantations to tag your Christmas Tree for collection or delivery at a later date, or if you're eager, choose and have your perfect tree cut down on the spot.
Join us during our 2025 Christmas Tree season to make merri memories at our farm.
