Here's a list of as many local(ish) evergreen tree farms as we could find. For the farms with websites, we linked those. Otherwise, there's a phone number to contact the farm of your choice.

And make sure you double check the farm is open before you drag your family out there. Some farms have been open for a month already while some still won't be open for weeks yet.

Happy Holidays, and good luck on your tree hunt!
